Was it someone on the House Committee?
Or did Rosenstein simply give a copy to the AP, just after he was forced to give them up to the House Committee?
A lot of questions in a complex plot.

Judiciary Chairman = Bob Goodlatte, R-Va.
House Oversight Committee Chairman = Trey Gowdy, R-S.C.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman = Devin Nunes, R-Calif.

The things I remember them having is: racism, dirty tricks, voter suppression, and lying, lying, lying.

(6,402 posts)It's gotten progressively worse over the last twenty years, but you still had some of your elder statesmen out there that did things right and knew how to work the system.
Once things like your basic pork barrel spending (I forget the actual term) disappeared, nobody had any reason to work with each other to get things done. That was one of the real killers of bipartisanship.
Edit: Earmarks! That's what I was thinking of. Once that was eliminated there was no longer the ability to do any horsetrading within parties and between parties any longer.
