“I believe many, many others were spied on but do not know” said Attkisson. “It was only thanks to help from intelligence contacts that I even learned that government agents were spying me. Otherwise, I never suspected it or would have known.”

Top House Republican will meet with Rod Rosenstein ‚in the coming weeks‘ over report he discussed secretly recording Trump
The Republican Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Bob Goodlatte asked Rod Rosenstein for a meeting to discuss a report that the deputy attorney general said he was willing to secretly record President Donald Trump.
The report The New York Times published on September 21 cited sources who said Rosenstein wanted to expose the chaos in the White House and potentially build a case for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.

Rob Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General whose job hangs in the balance, had been expected to learn his fate Monday, but NBC News reports the meeting with President Trump has been postponed until Thursday when the President returns to Washington, D.C..

CNN‘s Wolf Blitzer discusses the statement released by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein after the New York Times reported that he discussed secretly recording President Trump in 2017 and discussed plans to use the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office.
Trump-Absetzung: US-Vizejustizminister dementiert Ideen
Dem jetzigen Bericht der Zeitung zufolge soll Rosenstein im Mai vergangenen Jahres in internen Diskussionen auch vorgeschlagen haben, dass Trumps Äußerungen hinter verschlossenen Türen mitgeschnitten werden könnten – und zwar mit dem Ziel, das „Chaos“ im Weißen Haus offenzulegen. Das Blatt zitierte mehrere anonyme Quellen, die über Rosensteins Äußerungen in Kenntnis gesetzt worden seien.
Rod Rosenstein Suggested Secretly Recording Trump and Discussed 25th Amendment
The deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, suggested last year that he secretly record President Trump in the White House to expose the chaos consuming the administration, and he discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Mr. Trump from office for being unfit.
Stellvertretender US-Justizminister Rosenstein soll Abhöraktion gegen Trump vorgeschlagen haben
Der amerikanische Vize-Justizminister Rosenstein gerät in Bedrängnis: Er soll 2017 vorgeschlagen haben, Trump abzuhören.
Rosenstein dementiert den Abhörplan. Es gibt Debatten, ob seine Äußerung damals ernst oder sarkastisch gemeint war.
Rosenstein verantwortet die Russland-Ermittlungen von Sonderermittler Mueller.
We have given Rod Rosenstein every opportunity to comply with Congressional requests. He has evaded our oversight time and again. As our last recourse, we need to #ImpeachRosenstein to hold him accountable – before the American people lose all trust and confidence in the #DOJ.
I just filed a resolution with @Jim_Jordan and several colleagues to impeach Rod Rosenstein. The DOJ has continued to hide information from Congress and repeatedly obstructed oversight–even defying multiple Congressional subpoenas. We have had enough.
Vizejustizminister: Republikanische Abgeordnete wollen Rosenstein aus Amt drängen
Unter Rosensteins Ägide untersucht US-Sonderermittler Robert Mueller unter anderem, ob Trumps Wahlkampflager von einer russischen Einmischung in die US-Wahl 2016 gewusst haben kann. Der Republikaner Mark Meadows warf dem Justizministerium unter anderem vor, dem Kongress Informationen vorzuenthalten und sich dessen Aufsicht zu entziehen.
Russland-Ermittlungen: Muellers neue Anklagen bringen Trump in Verlegenheit
US-Sonderermittler Mueller hat zwölf russische Geheimdienstmitarbeiter wegen der Hacker-Angriffe im Wahlkampf 2016 angeklagt.
Erstmals wird damit direkt die russische Regierung für die Hacks gegen das Clinton-Team und Wahl-Behörden verantwortlich gemacht.
Vor dem Gipfeltreffen zwischen Trump und Putin bringt das die US-Regierung in Verlegenheit.
White House says Rosenstein agrees to Trump ‚demand‘ DOJ investigate whether campaign ‚infiltrated‘
President Donald Trump met Monday at the White House with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray a day after he tweeted that he would „demand“ the Justice Department investigate whether his 2016 presidential campaign was improperly „infiltrated or surveilled“ for political purposes by an alleged FBI informant.
Neither Rosenstein nor Wray spoke after the meeting.

„If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action,“ Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said.
NBC, ABC Say Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Was Not Wiretapped, Issue Corrections
05/03/2018 01:19 pm ET Updated 8 hours ago
U.S. officials told NBC News that Cohen was actually being monitored via pen register.
Giuliani: I Don’t Believe That Michael Cohen Was Wiretapped
(05.03.18 3:02 PM ET) “Us lawyers have talked about it, we don’t believe it’s true,” Giuliani told The Daily Beast. “We think it’s going to turn out to be untrue because it would be totally illegal.“
[Rosenstein] „signed a document to spy on an American citizen with no justification and put his name to silence the whistleblower in the Uranium One case. Rod Rosenstein‘s understanding of extortion is apart from the law“
I wonder if Trump will use feigned outrage about the wiretap—which Rosenstein presumably signed off on—as an excuse to fire him.
Rod Rosenstein is not above the law
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s reaction to reports of possible impeachment for failing to respond to congressional subpoenas was to proclaim that the Justice Department “will not be extorted.”
I suppose he meant to say, “Only we here at the Justice Department do the extorting, with special counsels, daylight raids of people’s attorneys, bankrupting people with legal fees, threats to prosecute family members, and questionable wiretapping of Americans.”
To search Michael Cohen’s home and office, the FBI had to clear a higher-than-normal bar
Here’s what we don’t know: We don’t know specifically what the FBI was looking for when it raided the office of Michael Cohen, high-profile attorney for the Trump Organization. We don’t know what they found; we don’t know what investigations might be bolstered or curtailed by the evidence they seized.
What we do know, though, is interesting enough. The raid, which covered Cohen’s office and, according to the Wall Street Journal, his home and a Manhattan hotel room, included the seizure of information about the payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election and it included communications between Cohen and President Trump — meaning it included communication between an attorney and his client.
Trump calls Justice Department ‘rigged,’ threatens action
The president’s tweet suggests that friction may be rising again between Trump and Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, who just a day earlier declared at a public event that “the Justice Department is not going to be extorted” by public and private threats.
