Rosenstein plans to leave Justice Dept. shortly after Barr confirmed
2019-01-09
[10 News - CNN] Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is planning to leave the Justice Department shortly after William Barr, the President's nominee for attorney general, is confirmed, according to a source familiar with his thinking

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is planning to leave the Justice Department shortly after William Barr, the President's nominee for attorney general, is confirmed, according to a source familiar with his thinking.

The source said Rosenstein is not being forced out, and he has conveyed his thinking to the White House.

Barr's Senate confirmation hearing begins January 15, which means a confirmation vote at the earliest would occur in mid-February.

Rosenstein's plans were earlier reported by ABC News.

If confirmed, Barr would then oversee the special counsel's Russia investigation. Rosenstein has managed the investigation since it began in May 2017.

But what Congress would pass such a law to apply to DC swamp-denizens?

#8  There should be periodic memory tests for government workers in these kinds of positions. If they can't pass, then they're summarily out of a job. Congressional inquiries should count as a test.

#1  DAG Rosenstein has been promising resignation for quite awhile. Is it true this time? The guy ought to be running a Swamp survivalist blog. Is he under investigation for his many entanglements.
