'''Rod Jay Rosenstein''' was the deputy under Attorney General [[Jeff Sessions]], who, upon recusal of Sessions from the [[Trump-Russia scam]], appointed [[Robert Mueller]] to investigate the [[President of the United States]]. Rosenstein was motivated by an effort to cover-up the crimes of the Obama [[Justice Department]] after [[Hillary Clinton]]'s loss in the [[2016 Presidential election]] and [[Donald Trump]]'s ascendancy. Trump was not expected to win, and the Obama Justice Department and FBI had massively intervened during the election trying to affect the outcome. The appointment of a special counsel protected officials in the [[civil service system]] from responding to Congressional inquiries while the [[Mueller investigation]] was ongoing.
