The chairman and senior Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee have abruptly left a hearing on world threats to meet with Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein.
Congressional staffers confirm that the two are meeting in a room next to the hearing where top law enforcement and intelligence officials are being questioned about the Russia investigation and Comey’s firing.
It is unclear what the meeting is about. Video posted on Twitter by ABC News shows Rosenstein and other officials, including Dana Boente, the head of the Justice Department’s national security division, walking into the room.

He threatened to resign for being made the fallguy for Comey’s firing. The degenerate draft dodger and his henchmen claim that Coney had lost the confidence of the FBI rank and file, McCabe the new acting director totally contradicted that in sworn testimony to Congress! We have crooked lying incompetents in the White House.
