Speaker Ryan against the dismissal of the prosecutor who found the GRU agents

The speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress Paul Ryan rejected the requirement of the United Party-Republicans to dismiss the second person in the Ministry of Justice of the Rosenstin clan. He oversees a special prosecutor investigating the role of Russia in the 2016 US presidential election.

Ryan informed reporters on the Capitol Hill on July 26, which did not support the impeachment of the deputy general prosecutor Rosenstin, who recently accused 12 Russian employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of interfering with the USA campaign in the United States. These accusations were made before the meeting of US President Donald Trump with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki.

Ryan said that "should not rush in this process." And he added that he was "inspired" by the recent progress of Rosenstin in the search for documents that the Republicans were looking for. Ryan said that the alleged crimes that the Republicans brought in their requirement to impeachment Rosenstin "do not reach the level of crimes and misconduct, which, according to the US Constitution, are the only basis for the impeachment of an executive authority."

A small group of 11 Republicans in the House of Representatives on July 25 took an unusual step, proposing to impeach Rosenstin, who appointed special adviser Robert Muller to investigate the ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.

Conservative lawmakers accused Rosenstin of alleged violations that were not directly related to the investigation of Muller, mainly in relation to the disclosure of internal documents. The democrats in the congress said that this step was aimed at diverting attention from the Russian investigation of Müller.
