BREAKING: Deputy AG [and Wally Cox lookalike] Rod Rosenstein resigns

Known for his pencil-neck like look and eerie resemblance to the late Wally Cox, Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein submitted his resignation to President Trump Monday, effective May 11th.

Attorney General William Barr in a statement said that Rosenstein served the Justice Department "with dedication and distinction." Trump may have disagreed, but he has not as yet tweeted about it.

"His devotion to the Department and its professionals is unparalleled," the statement read. "Over the course of his distinguished government career, he has navigated many challenging situations with strength, grace, and good humor."

Rosenstein previously served as deputy assistant attorney general and U.S. attorney.

In February, Fox News reported that Barr picked Jeffrey Rosen, who currently serves as Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, to take over for Rosenstein should he leave office.

A source told Fox News in March that Rosenstein had reached an agreement with Barr to stay at the DOJ "a little while longer" after it was reported he planned to leave by mid-March.

The deputy resigned following the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the Trump administration and alleged involvement in Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election which was lost by Hillary Clinton and she can't get over it to this day.
