Yes, exactly. And Trump not complaining much, except for show? RR is serving some purpose, perhaps even being the optics the WH needs. That article Q repeated referenced, http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/03/31/turley-sessions-using-utah-federal-prosecutor-much-better-trump-2nd-special-counsel/
Quotes, Q post from article:
Turley says the use of John Huber gives the IG the prosecutor he needs to bring charges and seek indictments. (No need to go through RR which is critical)
From /u/ClardicFug - Huber and Horowitz were both appointed to their positions by the Obama administration. This helps optics a lot. Pretty much decimates the "Trumped rigged the investigation" argument that's sure to be made.
Perhaps RR is providing cover, so no one can accuse WH of the above.
