The blogosphere and twitterverse is abuzz today about the looming strong possibility that Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein may now have to recuse himself from the Trump/Russia investigation, seeing as how it has now been officially confirmed (by Hair Twittler himself, in tweet) that Our President is being investigated for obstruction of justice, by firing James Comey.
Since Rosenstein is a crucial witness in that obstruction case, he clearly cannot be in charge of the investigation. Hence, his recusal is in our future.
So, if (when) Rosenstein recuses, who at DOJ will be officially “in charge” of Mueller? Well, thereby hangs a tale … and law professor Seth Abramson is all over the fustercluck that we might soon be facing, with one of his famous massive tweetstorms.
Sheeeeeeesh …!!!
