“People are entitled to be frustrated, I can accept that,” Rosenstein told the Journal. “But at the end of the day, the public will have confidence that the cases we brought were warranted by the evidence and that it was an appropriate use of resources.”
“I have a solemn responsibility to make sure that cases like that are pursued and prosecuted, and I’m pleased the president has been supportive of that,” he added.
I believe this, like in poker, is a tell...
This tells me he has nothing beyond what they have already prosecuted. Now he is moving to the phase of justifying what they have done..
That’s how it reads to me too. Rosenstein’s got nothing. The Mueller report is going to be a big fizzle. Trump is now totally confident of this, which changes the logic. He can now safely let the witch hunt play out undisturbed to its pathetic balloon whistle conclusion. No reason to fire anyone just this minute. In fact he can even put on a public display of chumminess with Rosenstein, which is probably not a bad look heading into the midterms.

Excellent read.
