Rosenstein meeting with Paul Ryan about Russia investigation
By Scott Wong - 01/03/18 04:59 PM EST


Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is meeting with Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday about the House Russia investigation, a GOP aide confirmed.

Rosenstein walked by a number of reporters who were staking out budget negotiations between top White House officials and top congressional leaders.

The meeting came at the request of Rosenstein, the aide said. FBI Director Christopher Wray also was invited to the meeting but reporters did not see him.

No other information about the meeting and what was discussed was immediately made known.

Rosenstein testified before the House Judiciary Committee late last year, as the committee conducts its own investigation of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election.

1. I just saw that story too, what's about to go down?

So much of tv on today sounds like cover for something else behind the scenes.

Let's speculate like crazy!!!!

4. Perhaps cutting a deal? The GOP ousts Trump in exchange for no charges against Congress?

[duforsure]

8. You may be right.

[Irish_Dem]

11. I think there has been a lot of backroom discussion.

The powers that be will most likely not allow all top leadership to fall.
Too damaging to the country.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Are they planning their strategy to get away with Ryan's treason?

[OliverQ]

3. This sounds like bad news.

Ryan trying to convince Rosenstein to shut down Mueller?

[Loki Liesmith]

6. meeting came at request of Rosenstein though.

7. Rosenstein asked for the meeting so maybe not. nt

[tinrobot]

12. ...or Rosenstein trying to convince Ryan to shut down Trump.

[regnaD kciN]

14. Or to warn him to distance himself and the G.O.P. from Mad King Donald...

...because he's going down?

[OnDoutside]

5. He wasn't carrying a revolver and a glass of whiskey, by any chance ?

[duforsure]

9. Heard Wray also there.

[marylandblue]

10. I think an impeachment recommendation

or a stack of indictments is coming.

[triron]

13. This sounds quite plausible to me.

[triron]

15. Nunes?

16. Rachel asking the same question:

17. Maybe they're informing Ryan that Pence is going down too.

Ryan is next in line. Gotta get that inauguration day suit pressed, ya know.

[Dream Girl]

18. Maybe Trump has ordered him to fire Mueller and giving Ryan heads up?

[IluvPitties]

19. That's the worse case scenario.

[kentuck]

20. Maybe Rosenstein persuaded him that the investigation needs to continue and....

...Paul Ryan needs to call off the attack dogs in the House?
