Governing Woes
The GOP was on a track of persistent attacks against anyone who was a threat to Trump and his agenda.
A group of its members who were considered Trump allies were going after Rod Rosenstein.
Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General found himself in a tough situation. He was however ready to defend his department and himself.
Lawmakers were threatening to impeach Rosenstein or impose sanctions.
“If we’re going to accuse somebody of wrongdoing, we have to have admissible evidence and credible witnesses,” Mr. Rosenstein said. “We need to prepare to prove our case in court. And we have to affix our signature to the charging document.”
Rosenstein was accused of stonewalling by Rep. Mark Meadows who asked him to resign.
The other issue of Congressmen sleeping at their offices was worrying too.
How could it be possible that men with such a high level of pay can’t afford an apartment?
“If we go to the point where you have to rent or have to buy [in DC], then only millionaires would be members of Congress,’’ he said. “I don’t think that was the intent of our Founding Fathers.”
However some of the Congressmen colleague thought the practice should be stopped.
“Look, it’s unhealthy. It’s nasty. I wouldn’t want to be entertained in somebody’s bedroom,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson. “Sleeping in your office is not proper.”
It seemed that some transformation was needed; it can’t be that such a Government would find itself in such turmoil.
