U.S. Senator Josh Hawley confronted former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.The Missouri Republican questioned Rosenstein during his first public appearance before Congress in a year, as he defended his actions in the FBI’s Russia probe and his decision to appoint Robert Mueller in 2017 as special counsel. Hawley slammed Democrats for the investigation and for effectively admitting that Mueller’s report on the findings is “of no consequence.” (Video) Hawley expressed his incredulity at the idea that Rosenstein had “signed off” on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants that were secured on former Trump adviser Carter Page, and which Rosenstein admitted

Rosenstein sounds like a child when they get caught doing something wrong and get questioned about it. No matter how calmly you ask them about something they did wrong, they respond your are "yelling at me" if you continue to ask questions about what or why they did something. He is like the kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Please, please, don't be so mean to me. Please don't yell at me. It wasn't my fault. I was just doing what they told me to do. Is that so hard to understand?"

No, but putting your traitorous butt in prison will be a step in that direction.

Hey, c'mon!
Rosie thought he was signing a petty cash voucher for his secretary's taxi fare. He had no idea he was signing a falsified fraudulent court document. Let's give the guy a break!

Feigned anger: "At this point, what difference does it make?".

Rosenstein was a rubber stamp, after others stamped it first. Freshman Senator Hawley nailed it, sarcastically noting the Senate Committee would “take every pain not to hold you accountable or responsible.” Lindsey and Mitch will have a word with him. Bad form to get loud with the help.
There is no UNIPARTY...keep repeating...There is no UNIPARTY.

This is all theater; the Senate doesn't have any power here. Hawley gets to ask questions and show his incredulity and Rosenstein gets to pass the buck.

What a line of BS. "I'm accountable"! He acts like this scam wasn't on the front burner. He didn't care, as long as they could try and destroy President Trump. Have to laugh, "I manage 150,000 people", as if he has to write a performance review for each and every one. Those federal emloyees are soooo overworked! Ha!

Rosenstein is a snake in the grass who knows that he can get away with playing rope-a-dope with the mostly all wimpy Republican Senators. He does not have a worry in the world when it comes to the disinterested Democrat Senators who are out to sabotage the hearings. It was Rosenberg’s job to insure that when he signed off on official documents that were going to the court were accurate and comported with the law and DOJ policy. Rosenstein now says I did not know about nothing and trusted everyone, what does that tell you?

Hawley was brilliant, Graham was strong. Cornyn. Cruz. Tillis. I had to miss the rest.
Rosenstein basked in the sunshine and love the Dems showered upon him. With the Republicans he looked like a cornered animal, eyes full of fear. He is a very weak man whose very weakness makes him dangerous. Sells himself to whoever shows him the strongest influence. A careless worker, he either read what was in the FISA applications he signed and verified what he read or he signed them as a rubber stamp. He should not have been at the DoJ “all of his adult life” as someone wrote or said.

A short length of rope and a low hanging tree limb would solve the problem.

Rosenstein keeps repeating he's accountable yet he knows nothing will happen to him so his words are empty and meaningless. Accepting responsibility in DC simply means you're off the hook. I'm looking forward to the mass firings that are going to occur in DC right after Trump is reelected. Because as we all heard Obama say - Trump will have more flexibility after the election.

We ought to face facts: no one is going to be punished for what happened. Not Rosenstein or Comey or Strzok or Page not Brennan or Clapper or Steele. No one. And when I heard Lindsay Graham chime in at the end of this video I know who will see to it that nothing happens. What do the Democrats have on you, Senator Graham? Senator McConnell? Sen. Romney? Sen. Cornyn? Republicans like you have had power for decades and now the country is disintegrating while you play at legislating. You are disgraceful, every one of you worthless frauds.

It might not solve the problem nor would it change your treason, but yelling at you would make me feel a helluva lot better, you cretinous enemy of the republic.

I watched some of this yesterday, for only so long as I could stomach it anyway. I was struck by watching Rosenstein's eyes particularly. At times, he looked like a deer in headlights when some particular question was asked that he didn't want to answer to and he was thinking madly for a response which was always "it wasn't me".
