Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s letter detailing former FBI Director James Comey’s mishandling of Hillary Clinton’s emails is supposedly the basis for Jeff Sessions having recommended and Donald Trump having followed through with firing Comey. This is so obviously false that it’s at once laughable and an insult to the intelligence of each and every person in the United States of America, infants and people in comas included.
Rosenstein slams Comey’s conduct in his July 5, 2016 press conference and his October 28 letter, as well as Comey’s refusal since then to acknowledge that he did anything wrong. Here’s what Rosenstein’s boss, Jeff Sessions, the man supposedly accepting Rosenstein’s recommendation to fire Comey, said about the October 28 letter at the time:
He had an absolute duty, in my opinion, 11 days or not, to come forward with the new information that he has and let the American people know that, too.
From “absolute duty” to “you’re fired” in less than seven months. Yeah. Sure. Right. And don’t forget, Sessions recused himself from anything to do with Hillary Clinton’s campaign as well as from Trump-Russia investigations. He said he was recusing himself, anyway. His actions tell another story, just as his words in October and his words now tell two different stories about Comey, and just as it’s blazingly obvious that his claimed reason for firing Comey now is false.
