Rosenstein is resigning.
SG Noel Francisco would be next in line, but he has numerous conflicts and appearances of conflicts. Jones Day, his firm from 2005-2017, was the Trump campaign’s firm. He must recuse from the investigation. axios.com/rod-rosenstein…

3/ Francisco then litigated a series of constitutional cases, often on the side of legal/movement conservatives for Republican officials and against the Obama administration (e.g.,NLRB v. Canning). That doesn’t disqualify him at all, but it’s a piece of his partisan legal career.

5/ Investigative journalists: please look into DC office of Jones Day, which represented the Trump campaign and where Francisco worked until 2017 -
And investigate how many Russian oligarchs it represented and their links to the Russia conspiracy.
