Note: Trump met with Sessions and Rosenstein and THEN, the next day, Rosenstein provided the single-subject memo.

This is even by the White House's own telling.
-
Rosenstein was put in an absurd (if inevitable) position — in the Oval Office with the person whose campaign Comey was investigating ...
-
... and the man whose involvement in those issues led him to say he was recusing himself. Then, they discussed firing Comey.
-
Then, the next day, he sent a memo detailing an ~unrelated~ reason to fire Comey to the man who was recused from those investigations.
-
And that allegedly recused man seconded the recommendation, wrote his own letter, and forwarded both to Trump, who then fired Comey.

The key 8 words in that Post story are: "said the person close to the White House" https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-trumps-anger-and-impatience-prompted-him-to-fire-the-fbi-director/2017/05/10/d9642334-359c-11e7-b373-418f6849a004_story.html?tid=sm_tw&utm_term=.31b178bc2ef6 …pic.twitter.com/jRE32pdMAD

A lifetime prosecutor met w POTUS & AG, got a directive to write a justification-for-firing memo, then was surprised by the narrative? No.
-
Only someone in this White House could think that's a plausible story.

yeah, if we all make it through this in one piece we're gonna have to add a lot of new rules :|
-
Our three-prong system of checks and balances is supposed to work like rock, paper, scissors. Everyone knows the rules. (1)
-
Right now it's as if every time congress has paper, they look the other way instead of covering rock. (2)
-
Seems it's because there's a playground bully everyone's afraid of, because beat up some kid once after winning rock paper scissors. (3)
-
A congress not overwhelmingly bound by party loyalty (read: afraid of losing reelection) would use some of their checks and balances. (4/4)

Was there an electoral map stapled to it?
