Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should not resign. He also should not be fired.

Rod Rosenstein has been exceptionally successful in prosecuting those involved in the Russian influence in the 2016 elections. Why would anyone as talented and dedicated as Rod Rosenstein leave when the investigation has been so successful? The charges brought to the courts have been valid. 

He should NOT leave. If anything, should AG Sessions leave, Rod Rosenstein should be considered in replacing him. 

The idea Deputy AG Rosenstein is not competent or is corrupt in his capacity, is a lie. What is happening here is political and that should not touch the outcome of investigations and prosecution. Rod Rosenstein has been more than competent and should be viewed as a person capable of being able to handle greater responsibility. He needs to stay in his capacity in the Justice Department.
