I think the Senate needs to confirm the appointment before any real action can be taken against Rosenstein. Likewise, Mueller still has his documentation authorizing his investigation and my understanding is that cannot be retracted without paper documentation that would then go public. Nor does Whitaker have the authority to put a stop to it until the Senate ratifies him. And, unfortunately for Trump, the recently elected Senators are not able to do that yet, so any outgoing Senators may not feel beholden to Trump. Therefore Trump has made it very clear to Mueller he has to play his cards now, perhaps he has a month or even two, but once the new Senate is in Whitaker gets confirmed and the plug is pulled on the investigation. Once again, it is just like a blitz in football, by rushing the quarterback you try to force a mistake, but if the quarterback is good, or if he is ready for you, then you get burned.
