MSNBC: Rep. Nadler Says House GOP Are Setting up Rosenstein for Contempt Charges

‘The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee believes his Republican colleagues are setting up deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein to be punished’

EXCERPT:

GEIST: "Citing a potential investigation and other classifications, DoJ said yesterday it needs more time to evaluate House Republicans’ request for James Comey’s memos about meetings with President Trump. The chairman of the Judiciary Committee is poised to issue a subpoena for the documents, that's according to ranking Democrat Jerry Nadler. Nadler said he believes DoJ cannot meet the Republicans' demands, adding, 'I fear the majority will have manufactured an excuse to hold the Deputy Attorney General in contempt of Congress. In yesterday's joint news conference with the Japanese Prime Minister, President Trump repeated some of his debunked claims about the probe and said he’s been restrained toward the investigators.”
