Meadows — We Don't Need Ryan To Impeach Rod Rosenstein

Meadows announced Wednesday night that he had filed a resolution alongside Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and nine other colleagues to impeach Rosenstein, accusing the second-ranking Justice Department official of trying to stymie congressional oversight of Mueller’s investigation.Show more

The resolution was filed Wednesday as a nonprivileged motion, meaning Ryan would have to approve it for a vote on the House floor. Meadows said they could instead file it as a privileged motion, requiring a vote on the House floor within two days.

“We hope that it doesn’t have to come to that,” Meadows told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “But, starting tomorrow, we can bring it up as a privileged motion. … That’s something that any member of Congress, Jim or I can do. And quite frankly, it’s either we hold him in contempt or we get the documents or we impeach him.”
