Rosenstein may have been PDJT’s worst appointment. Who recommended him?
Somebody on the transition team. Sessions? Rosenstein had a respected background and looked good on paper. My guess is Rosenstein wasn't the guy to handle a s**t storm. He justifiably fires Comey and then panics with the selection of Mueller when there are calls for a SC. My guess is Rosenstein was working from the premise that there might be something to Russian collusion, so he allowed the investigation to proceed. He wasn't on the job very long when he appointed Mueller. Many of the bad actors are still in place at DOJ and FBI and he isn't going to get any info out of them that Russian collusion story is bogus. I am guessing most of the recent revelations have come from the OIG investigation at DOJ and unannounced ones at NSA and CIA.
