Not quite as to why a Special Counsel was appointed.
The Special Counsel (Mueller) appointment in May 2017, followed a series of events that included Trump's firing of FBI director James Comey and Comey's allegation that Trump asked him to drop an FBI investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. No fake news here, these are specific and verified events. Sure, the Special Counsel looked into other events, but the reason there was a Special Prosecutor appointed stemmed form Comey.
So Rosenstien is overseeing the Mueller investigation into firing Comey after he (Rosey) gave Trump a letter recommending firing Comey?
Gotcha.
Your facts are correct , Barry, but you are overlooking the fact that Trump told a National TV audience that “ he had the Russia investigation in mind when he fired Comey”. If he had just gave the reasons Rosenstein used in his letter, Obstruction would not be in play. Unlike “ collusion “, obstruction IS a well defined crime and the fact that arrow is in Muellers quiver can be laid to Trump shooting his mouth off.
Neither Paddler and his buddies, nor the most ardent Trumpkins are going to be dancing in the streets when Mueller finishes his investigation. The most Trump is likely to suffer is some embarrassment, assuming he is capable of feeling that.
