CNN left a bit out that was unanswered by Rosenstein (from a tweet by Mike Levine @ Levin Reports):
No answer at all pretty much says it all without Rosenstein saying a thing.
Interesting take from Rosenstein-

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein just called Matt Whitaker “a superb choice for attorney general,” saying Whitaker “certainly understands the work, understands the priorities of the department.” Then I asked him if he’s worried at all about the Mueller probe. He walked off.:
What else is he going say. I think he wants to stay to keep the DOJ from completely imploding with what has to be a horrible morale culture.Interesting take from Rosenstein-

If there is one thing that I am thankful for trump for, its his ability to bring corruption out from the darkness and into the light. Its not that everything trump touches turns to shit, no, its that everything trump touches is already shit, he's attracted to shit.
He was a member of the board on a suspicious company. Mighty fine person to be running Justice Department.

I've said before that Trump is an excellent judge of character. No one could collect such villainy, corruption, and incompetence by chance.
How about this for an interesting take...
Whitaker has made statements that non-Christians are not suitable for Federal judgeships, which could very well be considered anti-Semitic statements. Then you have Trump go outside normal protocol of making the Deputy AG the interim AG, who happens to be Jewish.
Hmmm.. Another time that Trump shows possible leanings towards white nationalists? Nahhh... I’m just reading too much into this...

Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker falsely claimed on his resume and on government documents that he was named an Academic All-American when he played football at the University of Iowa, according to a report.
The former Hawkeyes tight end from 1990 to 1992 made the claim in the bio on his former law firm’s website and on a resume he sent in 2014 to a patent-marketing firm for which he sat on the advisory board, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Whitaker — whom President Trump named acting AG last month after the ouster of Jeff Sessions — also made the claim when he applied to be a judge in Iowa in 2010, according to the Journal.
And in 2009, when Whitaker left his post as US attorney in Iowa, a Justice Department press release said he had been “an academic All-American football player.”
To be considered for the recognition, a student-athlete must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.3 and must be a starter or important reserve on his or her team.
Whitaker’s name doesn’t appear among those who’ve been named Academic All-Americans on the website of the College Sports Information Directors of America, which bestows the annual honor.
Another Iowa player appears on the list for 1992, the year that Whitaker claimed he received the honor.
