After the info that Rosenstein had spoken about being wired to get Trump saying something, Rosenstein changed. It was odd that Trump didn't fire him.

So they struck a deal...Rosenstein stays on until the Report is done. Then he leaves, with his pension. And goes along to get along before he leaves.
