Democrats called for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to resign Friday after it was reported that he was not going to appoint a special prosecutor in the investigation into alleged Russian meddling in our election and collusion with the Trump campaign.
“I support @SenatorDurbin’s call for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to resign if he is unwilling to appoint a special counsel,” tweeted Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

“This morning, the president tweeted a thinly veiled threat to Mr. Comey,” Senator Durbin (D-Ill.) said, “which could be construed as threatening a witness in this investigation, which is another violation of federal law. To preserve his reputation as a credible prosecutor, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein must appoint an independent special prosecutor to pursue possible criminal charges, or he must resign.”
Durbin was referring to a tweet posted Friday morning on Trump’s account that read, “James Comey better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”
