Seriously? If this is true, why hasn’t Rosenstein been fired already?!?
Because you have to build up firing him to the American people....otherwise Dems impeach Trump one more time with rino help. Rosenstein is going to be the dirtiest DOJ guy ever before this is though or he will recuse himself quickly if he has a brain. This was a shot across the bow to let him know how this is going to get played. Some Republicans have decided to go to war.
Good question. The most logical answer seems to be he's cautious about it being seen as obstruction of justice with the Mueller investigation, and that Rosenstein could become a hostile witness against him.
Then there's the crackpot theories that claim Mueller and Rosenstein arr secretly working for Trump and this is just ans act they're putting on.
My guess is that Trump is going to let him just twist in the wind while more and more info is being lined up for release. Once we get close to the end of that material, Rosenstein and others will be gone.
