Josh Marshall words it all a bit better than I do.
Rosenstein was confirmed for the position on April 25th. So he’s been in office for roughly two weeks.
In that period, he received Comey’s request for what appears to have been an expanded probe. And with that request under advisement he penned a memo, at the request of the Attorney General, justifying the firing of Comey. The precise order of events we do not yet know. But it’s all in a very tight timeframe – about two weeks.
As many have noted with Flynn, no one is this naive. No one. This is silly. Rosenstein should be fired.
Josh concludes by saying that Rosenstein won’t be fired of course. But something is rotten here. Whole thing can be found here: talkingpointsmemo.com/...
