The Special Counsel Mistake Rosenstein bends to political pressure, and here we go again.

Appointing a special prosecutor will not stop the attacks on Trump.  In a few weeks the Democrats will start complaining about how Mueller's handling of the investigation.

Wall Street Journal-Democrats and their media allies finally got their man. After weeks of political pressure, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein blinked late Wednesday and announced that he has named a special counsel to investigate Russian attempts to influence the 2016 presidential election.
