Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Should Not Resign, Mueller Investigation Must be Protected

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Should Not Resign, Mueller Investigation Must be Protected from Trump Obstructing the Investigation

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should not resign because of the controversial and challenged article in The New York Times.

Deputy AG Rosenstein has been responsible for ensuring that there is no political interference with the Mueller investigation.  He has accomplished this despite being challenged and attacked by President Trump and his congressional allies.

It is essential to the national interest and the rule of law that if anyone replaces Rosenstein to oversee the Mueller investigation, the Senate must immediately get an ironclad commitment under oath that this person will not in any way interfere with the Mueller investigation or with a report from Mueller going to Congress and the media.
