Letter from deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein offers potential road map to special counsel Robert Mueller's probe
Sources familiar with the probe believe there are no more indictments expected
The bottom line: Do not expect a harsh condemnation of President Donald Trump or any of his associates if they have not been charged with crimes
"No matter who an investigation involves – an ordinary citizen, a local or state politician, a campaign official, a foreign agent, an officer of the federal legislative, executive, or judicial branch – agents and prosecutors are obligated to protect its confidentiality."
In the letter Rosenstein directly takes issue with the justification then-FBI Director James Comey used to publicly criticize Hillary Clinton in 2016 even as he decided not to charge her with a crime. At the time, Comey justified the break with long-time DOJ practice as an "extraordinary step" necessary because of circumstances so unusual they were comparable to a "500-year flood."
"It is important for the Department of Justice to follow established procedures, especially when the stakes are high," Rosenstein wrote.
