	Description:		In a tense and, at times, vulgar testimony session on Capitol Hill between Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, FBI Director Christopher Wray and members of the House Intelligence Committee, Republican Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Trey Gowdy (R-SC) demanded that the Department of Justice release sensitive documents pertaining to potential anti-Trump bias in the ongoing Russia Investigation. Later that day, the House voted in favor of legislation that ordered the DOJ to release said documents within seven days. Rep. Trey Gowdy, in particular, singled out Mr. Rosenstein on the Mueller probe, attacking him on the length of the investigation, demanding that he "finish it the hell up." Of course, the hypocrisy of Rep. Gowdy's sentiment on lengths of various Congressional investigations is not lost: he was the head of the 2014 probe into Hillary Clinton's handling of the Benghazi Incident for 2 and a half years. The Mueller probe, so far, has produced 5 guilty pleas in 397 days. Most of which have come from top-ranking officials within then-Candidate Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. All of this, occurring yesterday. as one man, in Annapolis, Maryland, stormed into the newsroom of 'The Capital Gazette' and killed 5 journalists in a targeted mass shooting. Journalists whom the President of the United States has deemed, on multiple occasions, the "enemy of the American People."
