Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is no longer overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election meddling — following the resignation of Jeff Sessions.
The investigation was being managed by Rosenstein because Sessions had recused himself.
With Sessions gone, Rosenstein will no longer oversee the probe — instead, it’ll be run by acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, NBC News reported.

Now is the time for Trump to cut loose with both barrels. Edit: He needs to go ahead and Fire Muller to.

According to the FOX news, on-site legal expert Judge Napolitano, Trump is again nearing obstruction of Justice with this act since the acting AG has clearly stated a negative opinion on the Mueller probe.
This is a bad move...Trump is likely going to crack-up under pressure.
Mueller is not fussed. DAG Rosenstein isn’t fussed. There is nothing Trump can do.
He’s already indicted on at least three counts. One is RICO. A minimum of two are for a separate offense (sources used the plural, ‘counts’ without giving me a number).
Absolutely scandalous.
When you want to anticipate what this administration will do next, just think, "What would the mafia do?"

Nice to see the standard authority matrix return to prominence.

Getting conflicting information now from a source who is usually spot on. I'm honestly not sure who is in charge of what.

Exactly - Rosenstein had pretty much seized control of the DoJ.
Glad he's lost his power.
Great move to get rid of Sessions instead of Rosenstein - smart.
