I can't tell just yet. We're getting glimpses of Mueller's view of his jurisdiction. That could be a big deal, because it affects how "kill the false accusation" action plays out, and whether the ending is satisfactory. If Mueller plays straight, things work out in a fairly clean fashion.

Signs are the Anthrax Mueller is not, and had no intention of playing straight., he has taken it on himself to go on a fishing expedition. If so, part of knocking down the false accusation involves knocking down Mueller. Knocking down Mueller would trigger something more than a tempest in a teapot.

There are several active stories. My Tempestuous tepottius reference was to the flap about Trump throwing Sessions under the bus

Muller is a different story. Mueller is a battlefield and direct assault that must end in defensive bloodshed.

My faith and optimism is that the assault on the Mainland left wing at the hillary clinton beach will be so fierce that all this nonsense will disappear in the conflagration consuming that which is progressive.

The current skirmishes are intended to prevent or at least delay the coming Normandy like assault

But Rosenstein is also a Trump appointment.

Not from what I understand.

“Sessions should do it. It is all his fault anyway. He can unrecuse, fire Mueller and Rosenstein for good measure.”

Holder and Lynch never recused themselves...and I’m hoping that him recusing himself was to show the depths of how despicable the left is in going after Donald and his personal side instead of just Russia. A clear declaration of a sinister and illegal witch hunt....

Bueller let Turd Blossom slide in the PLame affaire ... let that sink in ... Why? What did Bush I have on him? ... And given Bush antipathy towards Trump ...

[Rockitz]

Hmmm. A holdover from Obama, but originally appointed by Bush. I question his motives nonetheless. In hiring Mueller he's demonstrated his allegiance to the Deep State

[9YearLurker]

He was proactively nominated to his position by Trump.

And I don’t trust him for a moment. It is clear that he has set Trump up.
