"Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein just publicly backed Attorney General William Barrās handling of the Russia investigation in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
"His remarks shouldnāt come as a surprise: Rosensteinās role in overseeing the investigation has been complicated, often oscillating back and forth between enabling the White House and backing Muellerās probe.
"Perhaps Comey summarized Rosenstein best when he told Ben Wittes of Lawfare, 'Rod is a survivor⦠So I have concerns' about his stewardship of the Mueller probe.
"As Wittes added, 'you donāt get to survive that long across administrations without making compromises.'"
One key piece of evidence regarding Rosenstein's loyalties in the Mueller investigation is whether or not Rod refused to allow Robert to subpoena Trump's financial documents with Deutsche Bank.
"David Ignatius reported Rosenstein may have 'blocked' the Mueller investigation from looking into Trumpās finances, preventing a real counter-intelligence investigation into the President.
Mueller uncharacteristically disputed that story in contrast to consistently refusing to confirm or deny any other story about his investigation.

"David Ignatius reported Rosenstein may have 'blocked' the Mueller investigation from looking into Trumpās finances, preventing a real counter-intelligence investigation into the President.
- "Ignatius reported that 'One government source speculates that Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, blocked any attempt to compel disclosure of the bankās Trump file records to avoid getting himself or Mueller fired.'
- "Trump set a red line around his finances. Ignatius explains, 'Trump was enraged by a December 2017 report that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III had subpoenaed the bankās records about its dealings with Trump.'
- "'The red line apparently held.' Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow told Reuters: 'No [Deutsche Bank] subpoena has been issued or received.'"
Mueller uncharacteristically disputed that story in contrast to consistently refusing to confirm or deny any other story about his investigation.
