JUST IN: Rod Rosenstein was summoned to the WH today, four days after he indicted 12 Russian Intelligence Officers. He was seen leaving the WH at 11:28AM. Unclear if he met with President Trump, who is still in the residence and hasn't showed up in the West Wing this morning.

That just makes me laugh that Trump hasn't shown up at the West Wing yet.

However, any mention of Rosenstein being "summoned" just sounds scary right now. Hang in there Rod Rosenstein.

He's cordoned himself off in the residence, shoving Big Macs down his gullet, all the while screaming at the TV!

He was told to set-up a joint investigation of Russian election interference with the Russians.

I feel sorry for The Onion, all the good stories are already taken.

Impeaching Rod Rosenstein for doing his job is ridiculous. Last week, he announced 12 indictments of Russians for interfering with US elections. House Republicans are putting party over country. Russian meddling in our election needs to be investigated without interference.



It seems something is up, but it's probably best not to jump to the worst conclusion (like I did when I saw he was at the WH).
