The senior Justice Department official with ultimate authority over the special counsel's probe of Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 election has privately acknowledged to colleagues that he may have to recuse himself from the matter, which he took charge of only after Attorney General Jeff Sessions' own recusal, sources tell ABC News.

I didn’t say anything in the article was gospel, and you can turn off your caps lock now.

Exactly.

It is a sucker punch and the GOPe will not do anything about it.

He will recuse himself. OK, so then who takes over? McCabe.

Now won’t that make everything right!

What Trump should do because he could do it without being accused of interfering with the investigation, is fire McCabe and Rosenstein. That would leave Mueller out on a long limb by himself.

Replace them with a Rudy or similar type person and Mullen would be under the microscope.

Cam they pause the investigation until a new prosecutor and FBI director are named?

“...and was appointed by President Barack Obama to serve on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board...”

Forget about it. The Obama stench is all over her.

Everyone in America should recuse themselves from this BS “investigation” (aka: with hunt). Our “leaders” are full of it on this one.

The DoJ and all of these ‘special’ counsels are looking more and more like a swamp-creature convention in need of drainage.

As a matter of fact, unlike the worthless Rosenstein, who had all but two (!) Democrats vote for his confirmation, Brand has EXCELLENT conservative credentials. And I believe she was so hated by Demonrats that she did not get a single Demonrat vote for her confirmation.

That is a badge of honor.

The MSM, probably on the basis of leaks by Rosenstein and/or Mueller, already started trashing her this morning: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/6/16/15821266/associate-attorney-general-rachel-brand-rosenstein-trump-russia-investigation

No. McCabe is FBI. The #3 at Justice will take over, and she is no swamp dweller: she was appointed by Trump. Not ONE Democrat voted to confirm her.
