Against trump's opposition and family members, so now he'll pressure Rosen to soon. Putin did the same thing in russia so he also could use it as a weapon against his opposition.

His time is short. A new AG can knock him down!

That creates a problem for Joe after he is inaugurated. If his AG shuts down the investigation for lack of evidence, Republicans will cry foul and hold as many Senate hearings as they can cram into a day to paint both Bidens as corrupt. If he just leaves the Special Prosecutor in place, that person will likely be a sleaze ball and will mislead the public about findings (or even make up evidence from Russia), just as Barr did with the Mueller Report which actually had evidence of criminal behavior. I wish Barr had been able to stay to the end. There’s too much time for Rosen to pull any number of dirty tricks.

Hardly seems worth it, but Trump needs his "protectors." But after only a month, he's on his own...
