Here's a good one for thethe that offers some perspective on his obsession of the moment.
Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH) spent his allotted time reading a list of campaign contributions from Mueller folks to Democrats, then grilling Rosenstein on how it was reasonable to assume that the investigation was fair.
This is Chabot in 1998, addressing Ken Starr and offering him the opportunity to explain why his political donations to Republicans didn't compromise his impartiality.
"It seems pretty clear to me that there’s a strategy by Bill Clinton and his allies to demonize anybody who gets in their way—Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Henry Hyde; you, Judge Starr; this committee; even the press, to some extent. It’s everybody else’s fault, and everybody else is to blame—everybody except Bill Clinton, except the president.
Now in criminal cases … it’s a pretty common practice to do this. If the facts of the case are against you, if your client is pretty clearly guilty, put the police on trial. ’They planted the evidence, the police are corrupt, they forced your client to sign the confession’—anything to get your client off the hook…
Judge Starr, my question to you is this: How difficult is it for you, as an independent counsel, to do your job when you’re up against this onslaught, particularly when you’re limited in your ability to defend yourself and to defend the other prosecutors under you and to defend your staff in a public forum—limited, that is, until today?"
This is not new.
