Many people who were skeptics have reported, after spending time with him, that they have changed their minds.
And tactically and strategically, it would be brilliant to bring Rosenstein around. Rosenstein can order Mueller to bring this whole nonsense to an end without being seen as a naked Trump partisan. Hell, he allegedly tried to foment what would have amounted to a coup.
And obviously, Mueller’s work needs to end. The only evidence of wrong-doing points to the Democrats. Mueller needs to put an end to this, and Rosenstein or whatever that guys name is who in theory runs the Justice Department, then need to launch criminal probes into Fusion GPS and the Democrats.
And this would be a way for Mueller to get out with his reputation intact. It’s wins all around. Rosenstein keeps his job, and maybe even gets a promotion when Sessions steps down after the election, and nobody has to point out the whole thing was ridiculous.
Democrats lose, of course, but people who lie, cheat and steal SHOULD lose.
