CNN: "This is the first step to ending the Mueller Investigation" My questions...

So am I right in thinking....

That Whitaker is now Mueller's Boss.

Whitaker can ask Mueller to stop investigating various parts of the probe?

Whitaker can give Mueller an End date to his probe?

Whitaker can fire Mueller?

What is Rosenstein position, what can he do???

What should Mueller's next step be, when Whitaker interferes?

that Whitaker is now Rosenstein's boss and has taken the reins of the Mueller probe. That means that Mueller will need to clear any further activities with Whitaker before he proceeds. Whitaker will be controlling the purse strings as well. I believe that Mueller has already sent sealed indictments out to the four corners of the justice department and it's too late to stop them. But we shall see.

Hopefully Mueller has what he needs and just needs to dot the I's and cross the T's.

Trumpy must be getting concerned.

I saw "Trumpy must be getting cornered." Cornered - concerned. Same thing.
