Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Goodlatte: interpret subpoena that limits docs turned over. DOJ and FBI (Lynch and Yates) and WH. Why have you not produced these docs? Rosenstein: I'm not sure I'm well aware. I've heard suggestions subpoena may not be valid. We're going to do anything we can to obtain.

      Goodlatte: are you currently signing FISAs. Rosenstein: General rule is lowest man on the totem pole signs them. Now AAG NSD. No reason for me not to sign them. Would be dereliction of duty not to.

      Deutch: Take a few minutes to talk about cooperation. Rosenstein: Don't want to comment on resolutions. If they're voting on me, you'd think they'd want to know what's going on. Happy to take whatever blame you want to asses.

          Issa, accusing Comey of lying: do you think he's above the law. Wray: I don't believe anyone on earth is above the law. On Strzok. I was not present for interview. It is a longstanding principle that we don't discuss ongoing criminal investigations with Congress.
