Let's put this in perspective.
Witaker will be Acting Attorney General until such time as he is confirmed by the Senate - a foregone conclusion IMHO.
That means it is he, as the AG, who has direct responsibility for the Special Council under 5 U.S.C. 301; 28 U.S.C. 509, 510, 515-519. In other words, Mueller is answerable to the Attorney General. Sessions wimped out and let his deputy do the appointing - but that in no way takes the oversight authority away from the AG.
I would not be surprised to see the new AG call Mueller in and ask for an interim report on the investigation. He may then have it continue or direct that a final report be provided and that the investigation be ended.
There's not a damned thing Congress can do about it.
Jeff sessions is damaged goods... no credibilityLet's put this in perspective.

Precious...
Congress can do nothing about it...
Except subpoena the report and everyone who worked on it to testify to their committee. I wonder if the news media would be interested in covering Mueller testifying to the House Committee on oversight? And now an unemployed Jeff Sessions can be called to testify with no "conflict of interest" argument to be made. Wonder how he feels about Trump....?
We'll see what happens going forward.
/----/Time for that spineless loser to go.
Time for Mueller to put up or shut up too.
