Former Joplin Globe statehouse reporter lands interview with Rosenstein on Mueller probe

Former Joplin Globe statehouse reporter Sadie Gurman, now a reporter for the Wall Street Journal landed the big interview today, snaring a rare sit down with Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the man who is in charge of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

Among the revelations in the interview is that Rosenstein defended the investigation as "appropriate and independent,"  when the investigation is over the public will have confidence that the "cases we have brought were supported by the evidence," and that it was "an appropriate use of resources."

Rosenstein offered no timetable as to when the investigation would be finished.

Gurman, who has come a long way since working for the Globe while she was attending the University of Missouri, has been at the Journal since April.
