We've received your submission. Rod Rosenstein, the former deputy attorney general who initiated and oversaw the special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller, is moving to corporate law.
Early in his career, Rosenstein worked with fellow Republican Ken Starr, the independent counsel who investigated Bill Clinton. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announces indictments against 12 Russian intelligence agents on July 13.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was overseeing the Russia probe at the time because Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from any investigations involving the Trump campaign (Sessions’ recusal decision came amid public pressure over his failure to disclose that he met with the Russian ambassador during the Trump campaign).
He said that the “public interest requires me to place this investigation under the authority of a person who exercises a degree of independence from the normal chain of command.”.
Rosenstein is not from Baltimore. He’s lived in the D.C. suburb of Bethesda, Maryland, for years. He worked out of an office in Baltimore when he was U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland, a position he was first appointed to by President George W. Bush (who later nominated Rosenstein as a federal appeals court judge).
Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, has been working with Mueller’s team since December 2017. He pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his talks with the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition. Which is a pretty big deal: a senior Trump administration official has admitted he lied to federal investigators about his talks with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Before he became Sessions’ chief of staff last year, Whitaker was an attorney in Iowa, a failed Senate candidate and a CNN commentator. He’s a conservative who rose fast in the Justice Department while gaining a reputation as a Trump loyalist.
Papadopoulos likely holds answers to a lot of the key questions about the Trump campaign’s relationship with Russia. It was his May 2016 meeting with an Australian diplomat at a London bar that kicked off the Russia probe.
President George W. Bush, right, announced the appointment of U.S. Attorney Robert Mueller as the new FBI director on July 5, 2001.

Not long after, Rosenstein was thrust into the spotlight for appointing Mueller to serve as special counsel and investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election and coordination with members of the Trump campaign. The move drew ire from Trump and his allies.

BQK says he was disgusted that the very same lawyer who advised him to seek damages against the school, Mr Sofronoff QC, was now acting on behalf of the school during the Royal Commission. BQK stated: “A person that I paid $5,000 to for an opinion almost 10 years ago is buyable by the school.
Mrs Corryn Rayney’s body was discovered in a clandestine park in Perth in 2007. The cause of her death has never been determined. Police said the only suspect was her husband and criminal law barrister, Lloyd Rayney.
Mr Rayney vehemently denied the allegations but was nevertheless charged with murder in 2010 . His case proceeded to a judge-alone trial in the Supreme Court of WA in 2012, where he was found not guilty, the presiding judge noting that: “the case by the state is beset by improbabilities and uncertainties”.
Mr Rayney was subjected to a lengthy disciplinary investigation by the state’s Legal Practice Board who found he had disposed of two dictaphones after being named as a suspect, and was therefore not a ‘fit and proper person’ to practise law. The Board cancelled Mr Rayney’s practising certificate as a result.
Chase Legleitner was 19 when he robbed three men in a 2008 drug deal. Lamar Lloyd was 21 when he stuck up a Pizza Hut and gas station the following year. Both men pleaded no contest to two counts of armed robbery. They went before the same judge, in the same courthouse. Each had a single misdemeanor on his record. They tallied the exact same points on the scoresheets used to determine criminal punishments in Florida. But their sentences could not have been more different.
On 23 June 2011, Bauer invoked a “mitigated departure” from the minimum sentence calculated from Legleitner’s sentence points and sentenced him to time already served of 722 days in Martin County jail (one year, 11 months and 27 days).
The two men pleaded guilty to two counts of the same crime, had the same "sentencing total" and the same "lowest permissible sentence," but a judge sentenced the black defendant to 26 years in state prison while sentencing the white defendant to under two years (time already served) in county jail.
What’s most notable about the discrepancy in Lloyd and Legleitner’s sentences, then, is the relative leniency shown to Legleitner, to whom Bauer gave a much lower sentence than the minimum set out in the sentencing scoresheet. According to the guidelines in place in Florida at that time, the “lowest permissible sentence” was defined as “the minimum sentence that may be imposed by the trial court, absent a valid reason for departure.”
Judge Bauer accepted these recommendations and sentenced Legleitner to time served, meaning that he walked free after his sentencing, having already spent 722 days (just under two years) in Martin County Jail. Bauer explained his reasons for ordering a downward departure from the minimum permissible sentence by saying that “ [Legleitner] cooperated with the state to resolve current offenses … The offense was committed in an unsophisticated manner and it was an isolated incident. Of course, the defendant showed remorse and at the time of the offense the defendant was too young to appreciate the consequences of the offense and those are the reasons.”
Both Legleitner and Lloyd had 138.2 “sentence points,” which yielded a minimum sentence of 82.65 months (just under seven years.)
The comparison between Legleitner and Lloyd was first brought to light by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune as part of a 2016 series of articles titled “Bias on the Bench,” about racial disparities in sentencing by Florida judges.
