Today, two possible components of the cabal attempting to take down President Trump failed to go to Capitol Hill to explain their actions. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein didn’t show up to a schedule Q&A with Congress and Fusion GPS leader Glenn Simpson decided to invoke the 5th Amendment.

Representative Mark Meadows (R-NC) went after both pieces of news with a provocative Tweet:

Rod Rosenstein doesn’t show today. Now Fusion's Glenn Simpson reportedly takes the Fifth. At some point, we have to realize: the problem has never been President Trump. The problem is the coordinated effort to undermine him… and those who will stop at nothing to cover it up. https://t.co/KtE3b00Ki8 — Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) October 11, 2018



The last part is most telling. If there’s no cabal attempting to take down the President, why are so many people trying to cover it up? You don’t cover up nothing. This whole episode has smelled bad for two years now.
