Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is extending his stay at the Department of Justice for at least “a little longer,” according to Tuesday NBC reporting.
Slated to leave in mid-March, Rosenstein has reportedly spoken to Attorney General William Barr about staying for an indefinite amount of time.
The hearings for his replacement are currently scheduled for early April.

Mueller taking more time than anticipated?
Maybe hoping Trump will fire him to add to the Obstruction of Justice case?
The private-sector job offer has poured in.
In January Rosenstein did say he planned to stay on at DOJ until the Mueller investigation ‘wrapped up’.
It indicates to me that serious stuff is happening and that consistency is important right now.
