2. Rod Rosenstein and Bill Barr ran a game on the Mueller investigation

Rosenstein: to Mueller you can only investigate Trump as far as Russian interference in the election
but you can't investigate anything else.

Barr: to Mueller you can't charge a sitting President with a crime.

So no matter what Mueller came up with on Trump/Russia it was a dead end.

BTW I was taken in by Rosenstein's nice nerdy Jewish boy act and how he found beauty in "the rule of law"
and that he would quit if Trump fired Mueller.
