MSNBC is reporting that in fact, Matt Whitaker has not yet taken control of the Mueller investigation, that Rosenstein is still running things. I'm not clear on her sources yet, but if true, that's great news.
Nicole Wallace is saying that the charges brought against Cohen today went thru Rosenstein's office as has everything previously filed by Mueller-that it's understood that Whitaker hasn't taken over. She's talking to Rachel Maddow @ this, #ThursdayThoughts
Mike Schmidt (NYT) is now saying that the same structure continues to exist, and renforcing that Matt Whitaker hasn't taken over yet. So, those are the sources. This puts things in a very different light. And Maddow's right, this is all very ominous for Trump!
Frank Figliuzzi (former FBI) also said that by not sealing his recent paperwork, Mueller is assuring protection from the Trump/Whitaker obstruction of the investigation by 'telling us the story'..this resonates.
