The documents you're mentioning in that new link are about aomething else entirely, an attempt by Nunes to get hold of documents that are part of an ongoing investigation. When asked to provide facts and evidence you're just posting random unrelated stuff. So far zero evidence of any of these crazy claims and we both know why.
Here's an actual link to what I said previously:
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's ongoing battle with House Republicans reached new heights Tuesday, as the No. 2 senior leader of the Justice Department plans to call on the House to investigate its own committee staff.Rosenstein has butted heads with House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes for months over a subpoena for documents related to the Russia investigation, but the battle spilled out into public view Tuesday after Fox News reported staff on the committee felt "personally attacked" at a meeting with Rosenstein in January.
Justice Department officials dispute the recounting of the closed-door meeting detailed in the story, and Rosenstein now plans to "request that the House general counsel conduct an internal investigation of these Congressional staffers' conduct" when he returns from a foreign trip this week, a Justice Department official said.
"The Deputy Attorney General never threatened anyone in the room with a criminal investigation," the official said. "The FBI Director, the senior career ethics adviser for the Department, and the Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs who were all present at this meeting are all quite clear that the characterization of events laid out here is false.
"The Deputy Attorney General was making the point -- after being threatened with contempt -- that as an American citizen charged with the offense of contempt of Congress, he would have the right to defend himself, including requesting production of relevant emails and text messages and calling them as witnesses to demonstrate that their allegations are false," the official added. "That is why he put them on notice to retain relevant emails and text messages, and he hopes they did so."
Another former US official, also present at the meeting, agreed that at no time did Rosenstein threaten any House staff with a criminal investigation.
Later Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions came to Rosenstein's defense during an interview with Fox News, saying he was "confident that Deputy Rosenstein, after 28 years in the Department of Justice, did not improperly threaten anyone on that occasion."

Come on Lyle. Facts. Evidence. This is some crazy internet conspiracy theory you're parroting, isn't it? If you're not going to provide anything backing all this up, and you're not, let's bet $1000. One of us is going to be broadly right here. Either the evidence is going to show the criminality on the Trump side or Obama, Hillary, Bill, Comey and the rest of the deep state are going to be facing charges relating to conspiring against Trump. Take the bet. The loser has to post a verifiable receipt for $1000 to the charity of the other's choice.
OK then....I guess we'll just see what happens to Rod Rosenstein won't we?
I just got a brand new car, I don't have $1000 just hanging around, you can have some debt though lol
You claimed this report was going to be heavily redacted and a man not responsible for the report was going to be responsible for the redactions. None of that is true.
And we'll see if any evidence emerges that Rosenstein signed applications for FISA warrants which were used to spy on Trump and people around him. I'm betting that is not the case. How about $100? You must have $100. After all you're going to win the bet, right? It'll be me paying the $100 to a charity of your choice.
In other news the tax cut isn't doing what it's supposed to do. Business investment is completely flat in the last quarter. Look what happened to wages:
But it wasn't an entire disaster. Look what happened to corporate tax receipts:
There will be an economic boost from the tax cuts as what little went to wage earners ends up being spent. I would guess the US economy will crack 3% growth this year. But then the cut is baked into the numbers and we'll be relying on the investment the cuts are meant to spur. The Fed predicts something like this:
Fed median projections: —2.8% in 2018 —2.4% in 2019 —2.0% in 2020 —1.8% longer-term
There's a good chance Trump is lucky. The stage of the business cycle we're at means companies have the choice between paying wage increases or paying for new technology/machinery which will boost productivity, something the economy greatly needs. If we get an investment/productivity boost Trump can claim the tax cuts were responsible and it'll pave the way for another one.
