==Manafort case==
Rosenstein oversaw an investigation of [[Paul Manafort]] between 2005 and 2008 for alleged unregistered foreign lobbying, money laundering, and tax evasion. [[Tony Podesta]] of the Podesta Group and [[Greg Craig]] were also involved. Rosenstein dropped the case when the Podesta Group and [[John Podesta]] became closely aligned with the 2008 [[Hillary Clinton]] primary campaign, Greg Craig became President [[Barack Obama]]'s [[White House]] General Counsel, and Paul Manafort was hired to manage Sen. [[John McCain]]'s presidential campaign.

[[John McCain]]'s presidential campaign.
Rosenstein reopened the case and authorized Special Counsel [[Robert Mueller]] to pursue it ten years later in a secret memorandum attached to the [[Trump-Russia investigation]]. Although the case alleged Manafort acted as an unregistered agent of the [[Ukrainian]] government, the case had no baring on alleged Russian collusion or meddling in the [[2016 presidential election]].
