    Covering the sure-to-be-a-shitshow HJC hearing w/RosenWray. Holding a party line vote on whether to waive notice requirements. Cohen voted nyet; the poor clerk didn't get the joke.

        The GOP is using this hearing to justify their vote to censure Rosenstein today so they can justify firing him.

        Goodlatte OUTRAGED that a foreign entity got one secret email, but not all that bugged that Trump traded Israeli intel to the Russians.

        Again this manufactured outrage is about a guy who had been under scrutiny for his willingness to trade intel w/RU spies for years got surveilled by FISA.

        Ohhh. Goodlatte had said Jordan's resolution was not germane, then stepped off the floor so the majority could overrule it. Notes that this is plan to remove Rosenstein.

        Nadler notes that the subpoena in question was not issued in accordance with House rules. He notes that much of it DOJ cannot turn over. "That of course is the whole point. Republicans requesting docs they know they can't have."

        Meanwhile, over at the House, it's a total party line vote to back this stupid obstruction effort targeting Rosenstein. Let's see if any GOPers have the self-respect to vote against.

        On top of every other obnoxious detail about the way the GOP have done this HJC hearing, by pulling Rosenstein here, then having the vote against him on the floor, they're basically wasting a half hour of his day. He's chatting up the press (or aides) in the hearing room.

        OK. Now that members have started filing back in, Rosenstein left the hearing room to go back to (presumably) Goodlatte's office.

        Goodlatte said something to suggest making Wray stand up would be onerous. Maybe stress-related back issues? I would be. Indeed, I think I am.

        Rosenstein: Today is not a happy occasion. There's nobody who would be more committed to rooting out misconduct if it happened. Rosenstein talks about some misconduct being known when it occurred, meaning Comey.

        Rosenstein basically making argument that they have to protect the remaining things otherwise commit the same errors that Comey did. Claimed Trump was committed to transparency w/a straight face.

        Rosenstein said universe of docs was 1.2 M, tho not all relevant. Notes DOJ started turning over docs before investigation complete. Describes response to hoaxes based on redaction.

        WOWOWOWOW. Goodlatte lets DeSantis have the first question. As I never cease to point out, DeSantis is the person MOST EASILY shown to have benefitted from RU tampering.

        The reason Goodlatte did that is bc reporters often run and file their stories. So Goodlatte is letting someone who has HUGE reason to bury RU investigation get the headlines beating up Rosenstein. Will reporters understand that when they get used by this?

        Someone on the Dem side needs to make sure Rosenstein gets to answer the questions that DeSantis didn't let him answer, but on GOP time.

        Goodlatte continues to let the FL GOPers who most directly benefitted from the hack and leak have the early press time. And thus far, reporters aren't noting that significance.
