Graham presses 'potential witness' Rosenstein to pull out of Mueller probe oversight
''Graham, in a letter, cited reports that Mueller’s investigation is looking at whether President Trump obstructed justice by firing Comey – and the fact that Trump relied on a Rosenstein-authored memo to justify the firing."
Mueller - assisted by DOJ Deputy Director Rod Rosenstein - has been reportedly investigating / focusing on possible Obstruction charges against the President for firing former FBI Director Comey; however, the President fired Comey based on a memo Rosenstein authored.
Not only is this a conflict of Interest on Rosenstein's part, but it is also evidence that the President did not act on his own with the sole purpose of Obstructing justice and stopping the investigation of him / his team.
Also, in a memo now turned over to Mueller, Rosenstein claims 'had asked him to reference Russia in his recommendation to fire Comey.' The President stated the words 'referenced Russia' is misleading, as he only asked Rosenstein to 'mention that Comey told him he was not under investigation in the Russia case'.
Interpretation aside, the supposed conversation between the two regarding this issue makes Rosenstein a potential witness and thus is a HUGE Conflict of Interest.
Graham presses Rosenstein on whether he should recuse from Mueller probe
