... 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.
Rosenstein is the patsy. Wow.
He should have walked. Instead he tried to give Trump cover. Indefensible.
looks like we have a scapegoat. chris, tell our scapegoat what he just won! a one-way trip to a federal pen!
Rosenstein is getting thrown under the bus like Cox during Watergate. He owes nothing to Trump, nor does Trump owe him.
We'll get to see what kind of metal makes up Rosenstein...he's got a good reputation but he's extremely close to corrupting influences now.
