[laughter] prof. collins: would you care to elaborate on that? [laughter] gen. rosenstein: i saw that draft. i don't know who wrote it. it illustrates the important principle of the rule of law. the distinction in the way we operate in the department. we make mistakes. that is not to say we are flawless, but the way we operate is if we can accuse someone of wrongdoing, we have to have admissible evidence, credible witnesses, be prepared to prove our case in court and fix our signature to the charging documents. that is something not everybody appreciates. there is a lot of talk about fisa applications and many people i see talking about it seem not to recognize what a fisa appli

this was a couple of generations ago. to give you historical perspective, at the founding of the country, there was an attorney general, there were u.s. attorneys, but there was no department of justice. there was no bureaucracy in washington. the department of justice and don't believe was created until 1860, 1870 or so. over time, and in dutch and the are where jackson was speaking -- you have to imagine what it was like during the early days. if you are the attorney general sitting in washington, your u.s. attorney in maine is not available through email. you need to defer to the decisions made in the field. for jackson, he had to consolidate in the department and propose consistency in uniformity because when you have independent actors throughout the country, enforcing their own interpretation of the law, you will get different interpretations and places her -- in different places. jackson was addressing that tension between the desire to have level of uniformity and control from main justices in washington and the n

"generations apart: a profile of dissent." here now is cbs news correspondent john lawrence. >> there is a swelling tide of dissent among the young in america today. it is surging up against some of the basic institutions of adult society. a week ago at this time, we looked at the whole range of moral and social values and found deep differences between parents and their children age 17 through 23. we discovered this as fact not speculation by way of a national opinion survey commissioned by cbs news and conducted in march and april by the independent research firm. >> what is it about the younger generation that bothers you the most? >> i guess the rebellious attitude. the rioting at the college and things like that. >> the rioting at the colleges? is there anything else that bothers you? >> yeah. the drinking and the drugs. >> the survey showed a widening generation gap on attitudes toward sex, religion, drugs, and money. perhaps the most significant survey finding is that six out of ten young people in america say they want

deputy attorney general. as you think about the importance of separation of powers on law day here, any reaction to the news that certain members of the house freedom caucus have talked about drafting up articles of impeachment despite your best efforts to comply with their document requests? >> they can't even resist leaking their own drafts. >> would you like to elaborate on that? >> i saw that draft. i mean, i don't know who wrote it. i can tell you different people who have been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time, and i think they should understand by now the department of justice is not going to be extorted. we're going to do what's required by the rule of law and any kind of threats that anybody makes are not going to affect the way we do our job. we have a responsibility. we take an oath. that's the whole point. everybody in the department takes that oath. we have 115,000 employees. and if they violate it they know they're going to be held accountable. and i know those
