Rosenstein meeting with House leaders postponed

Source: Politico

House leaders have postponed their highly anticipated questioning of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein just a day before they were to hold a closed-door interview of the No. 2 Justice Department official about claims that he disparaged President Donald Trump.

In a statement Tuesday evening, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, announced that the session was being put off. They did not give a new date and were vague about whether the session — demanded by House Republican conservatives — would take place before the midterm elections, now just two weeks away.

“The Committees are unable to ask all questions of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein within the time allotted for tomorrow’s transcribed interview, therefore, the interview will be postponed,” Goodlatte and Gowdy said in a statement. “Mr. Rosenstein has indicated his willingness to testify before the Judiciary and Oversight Committees in the coming weeks in either a transcribed interview or a public setting. We appreciate his willingness to appear and will announce further details once it has been rescheduled.”

A Justice Department official confirmed that House leaders had asked for the postponement, citing a desire to have a longer session. Wednesday’s meeting was scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m.

I wonder if this has to do with Rosenstein and drumpfs seemingly new found camaraderie? They don't need to talk to Rosenstein because he's now supporting drumpf getting rid of his boss and stopping the Mueller investigation? For some reason, I just have had a bad feeling about him since that visit on the plane, like he's going back to the dark side and will be ok if Mueller is fired and the report along with all evidence is destroyed.

I really hope this is all just time. Still think the greatest factor in the probe continuing is taking back at least the House from the evil Russian repugs.
