you all were not telling the truth and you should not be trusted.

Congressman Matt Gaetz. Thank you for what you did for your country tonight.

Be offended with the Democratic whip, not House Republicans.

Like a machine, Matt Gaetz.

Welcome to Hot Takes. This is Congressman Matt Gaetz.

Let's talk about the news.

Mr. Rosenstein, thank you very much for coming to the committee.

Rod Rosenstein testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee today

and he is exposed as a total joke as someone who was asleep at the wheel at best

during the coup attempt of the Trump presidency and at worst someone who was complicit with

and part of a corrupt coup to unseat the duly elected president of the United States.

And the testimony today really showcases the role of these secret FISA courts

and how willing members of our own government were to use these courts

for their political purposes, not for any legitimate investigative purpose.

So Rosenstein is a key figure in all of this because he writes the scope memo for Mueller.

He really unleashes Mueller despite the lack of a predicate.

But also because Rod Rosenstein himself signed renewals of the FISA applications

of the spying requests before the secret court.

He signed those regarding Carter Page, regarding someone that they believed to be potentially around

elements of the Trump campaign.

And he did so without a legitimate basis.

And I think he knew there was no legitimate basis.
