All US attorneys report to RosenSwamp. While Sessions is recused on all Clinton connected matters, Rosenstein remains the top dog on all of those matters.

Actually, once the investigation is over Sessions has no reason for recussal, he can then prosecute.
That's only for the Russian investigation recusal, and not the Clinton matters recusals.

No, not really. Rosenstein is an assistant to Sessions and he is the assistant handling the special prosecutor, everyone reports to Sessions for everything except the election investigation.
Sessions reports to Trump. Everyone acts like Trump is helpless in all this. Trump is not the helpless type, he is in charge and in control you can be assured of that. Trump likely has the highest IQ of any president since Thomas Jefferson, he thinks circles around everybody else.
Having an investigator/prosecutor from outside Washington was genius. He doesn't have to worry about stepping on toes of his friends because these are people he knows the names of but doesn't really know.
