   UNITED STATES OF AMERICA STANDS FOR THE RULE OF LAW AND DEMOCRACY

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, some Members of this House have embarrassed 
themselves, our Congress, and our country by bringing a baseless 
impeachment resolution against Rod Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney General 
of the United States of America.
  Mr. Rosenstein has done his job lawfully and appropriately according 
to Hoyle. They want him to release information which, if he does it, 
will be releasing matters that are classified and confidential and 
could jeopardize the investigation that Robert Mueller is leading and 
Mr. Rosenstein is over and harm that investigation.
  Prosecutors will not release their information of who their witnesses 
are, where they are going, or whom they have interviewed. They can't 
and should not give away sources and methods. To do so would be in 
dereliction of duty.
  To file impeachment resolutions is to hurt Mr. Rosenstein, to hurt 
the investigation, hurt Mr. Mueller, and keep the truth from being 
known by the American public. If they weren't concerned about the 
truth, they wouldn't be going after the investigator so much. You do 
that when you can't deal with the data.
  I hope when we come back Mr. Mueller is still safe in his job, Mr. 
Rosenstein is still safe in his job, and the United States of America 
still stands for the rule of law and democracy.
  God bless America.
