      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.

      "Ignore the tyranny of the news cycle." Not the hugest Rosenstein fan but this statement nails it.

          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?

          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.
