The fate of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is reportedly hanging in the balance.
It was unclear whether or not Rosenstein, who oversees major parts of the Justice Department, including the special counsel's Russia probe, would keep his job. Amid conflicting press reports Monday, the White House said Rosenstein will remain in his job for the time being, and he will meet with the president one-on-one on Thursday.
If Rosenstein were to depart, it was also unclear whether he would be fired, or he would resign. In Rosenstein's case, this could make a big difference as to whom Trump can select to replace him as deputy attorney general.

“If he’s fired then he is “otherwise unable to perform the functions and duties of the office”, right?”
Good point. Besides, I wouldn’t want to argue with a Crazy Little Woman.
So demote him.
___________
At this point just let the SOB squirm and be publically humiliated until he resigns and slinks away to await his criminal indictment.
Reassign him to the Bureau of Prisons. Make him check inmates for contraband(anal cavity check) at the Big House in Lewisburg, PA or some other fine Justice Department establishment.
I’m kinda thinkin that would be his dream job.
As part of Trumps Nomination process he should require an undated resignation letter from everyone, including military flag officers. That would solve the issue.
The left wants Trump to fire him so bad they can taste it.
this is a non-issue.
Normal succession would place Noel Francisco, the confirmed Solicitor General over the Mueller probe.
Mr. Francisco was confirmed by the Senate in September 2017 on a narrow 50-47 vote, that fell largely along party lines. He once clerked for the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, whom he referred to as his dear mentor, during his Senate confirmation.
We WANT this guy.
I completely wrote him off as compromised, corrupted or both, the day after he was confirmed.
No amount of Qookiness or Sundancing has persuaded me otherwise in the many months since.
