Jarrett said his sources told him Rod Rosenstein threatened the House Intelligence Committee members three weeks ago.
The House Intelligence Committee released their classified FISA memo on Friday morning.
The House voted on Monday along party lines to share the explosive memo with the American public.
This comes after the approval of President Donald Trump.
Gregg Jarrett: "I can tell you a congressional source tells me that Rod Rosenstein in a meeting three weeks ago threatened Chairman Nunes and members of Congress he was going to subpoena their texts and messages because he was tired of dealing with the intel committee. That’s threats and intimidation."
Now this…
On Saturday morning Gregg Jarrett tweeted out that a second source now says Rod Rosenstein threatened Chairman Nunes and House Intelligence members if they did not stop their investigation.
Gregg Jarrett@GreggJarret A 2nd source has now confirmed to me that, in a meeting on January 10, Deputy A-G Rosenstein used the power of his office to threaten to subpoena the calls & texts of the Intel Committee to get it to stop it’s investigation of DOJ and FBI. Likely an Abuse of Power & Obstruction.

Jarrett also named the crime Rosenstein may have committed.
“It is a crime for a government official to use his office to threaten anyone, including a member of Congress, for exercising a constitutionally protected right. See 18 USC 242 and other similar abuse of power statutes.”
Jarrett also said, “Again, if true, Rosenstein’s action was an illegal abuse of power and he should no longer serve as Deputy Attorney General. He allegedly used threats to try to stop the Intelligence Committee from exposing wrongful behavior in an attempt to cover it up.

Every single conservative and anyone who cares about their freedom needs to do what they are enabled to do and stop the Democratic Party from gaining any power in the coming elections. If they regain power, this and much more can happen to any of us. Rosenstein is supposed to be a Republican, but apparently a never-Trumper. These people violated the basic right of every American. Rosenstein is just the latest iteration of a corrupt organization. Comey, McCabe, Yates, and now Rosenstein are all complicit in a coup on an elected President of the United States.
The top level of the FBI and DOJ used a dossier from the DNC and the Crooked Hillary campaign in a FISA application to spy on the Trump campaign. Now we learn that Rod Rosenstein even threatened Congress. Make no mistake about it, Rosenstein is an enemy of the people. Devin Nunes has certainly distinguished himself and deserves all of the credit due him. The ferocity of the attacks against him shows us that he is a patriot who is willing to act. Nunes has obviously hit the target. The corrupt people in the intelligence community, our government and elected lawmakers are showing who they are and who cannot be trusted.
Rosenstein should be totally marginalized, if he cannot be fired because of the political implications. Obstruction of justice is written all over this issue. Everything Trump has been accused of doing is true of his enemies. There must be a way to be rid of Rosenstein. And President Trump, I believe, could remove him from his job. He should not be allowed to hold any power over another human being for the rest of his life. He is not worthy of any job in government.
