Then how in the world was a Special Counsel appointed?
There has to be a crime and conflict of interest for Special Council.
Why didn't Rosenstein just take over the investigation?
Because he would not have had the power to snoop beyond boundaries?

I can't believe that you don't know 'why', but ...
"The Justice Department appointed a special counsel Wednesday to investigate possible coordination between President Trump’s associates and Russian officials — a clear signal to the White House that federal investigators will aggressively pursue the matter despite the president’s insistence that there was no “collusion’’ with the Kremlin." https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.9ea149a087e1

Special Counsel, doesn't get appointed on a suspicion. That would be against the statute.
The FBI is not the KGB. But is sure looks like they pulled one out of the KGB playbook for this one.
