Is Mueller still the Special Counsel?

I assume he is still on the payroll? Supposedly he is helping Barr? I have not heard anything about him returning to private practice.

Likewise with Rosenstein. He was supposed to leave the Dept a month ago but decided to stay on until investigation was over. I think he is still on the payroll also.

When are they going to close shop?

...so they control them so long as they are their superiors? Knowing that both are highly respectful of the chain of command. It'all about control.
