Is this a serious move that will go forward or just a warning shot across his bows?

Washington (AP) -- Eleven House Republicans have introduced articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference and President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

House Republicans have criticized Rosenstein for not being responsive enough as they have requested documents related to the Russia investigation as well as a closed investigation into Democrat Hillary Clinton's emails.

It's unclear if there will be an immediate vote. The articles were introduced by North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, frequent critics of the Justice Department.

House Speaker Paul Ryan has not signed on to the effort.

Joe Biden has a Coronavirus team. Donald Trump’s team has coronavirus. That’s the tweet

I think it is just noise from the Trumpettes in the House. The Senate is NOT on board with that and it won't go anywhere. But it may give impetus for Trump to fire him, maybe that is the setup... S1-i dont know

Won't be back until September. IMO, They had to get this out there now, so their base has something to gnaw on.

Exactly. Those up for re-election will use it to get the chants going at the rallies to avoid addressing other issues.
