House Republicans shout down No. 2 Justice official in tense hearinghttps://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-congress-fbi/house-republicans-shout-down-no-2-justice-official-in-tense-hearing-idUSKBN1JO29MQuote
The tense congressional hearing came as Republicans brought to the House floor a non-binding resolution that scolded the Justice Department for not turning over more records, a move that is widely seen as a possible precursor to holding Rosenstein in contempt of Congress. The resolution passed along party lines, 226-183.

Republican Trey Gowdy angrily demanded Rosenstein wrap up the investigation.
“If you have evidence of any wrongdoing by any member of the Trump campaign, present it to the damn grand jury,” he said. “If you have evidence that this president acted inappropriately, present it to the American people ... Whatever you got, finish it the hell up.”
I'd like to remind folks again, that both Rosenstein and Mueller were involved in the Uranium One deal investigations. Mueller was the director of the FBI from September 4, 2001 – September 4, 2013.
In DOJ documents released concerning THAT investigation, Rosenstein's name appeared numerous times.
I'm not suggesting they are necessarily doing anything wrong, just that information that is being redacted in the Trump investigation may be information that they don't want released to the public for reasons that occured before Trump was even running for president.
/e IF there had been some less than legal things going on in the investigations during the Obama administration times, then this would also explain why the Democrats are coming to the defense of these Trump appointees.
