that the president had written out the letter with steven miller, rod rosenstein takes it and returns with a different memo which gives the president some cover to get rid of james comey, in has got to give some people some pause about the fact that rod rosenstein is the guy in charge of anything to do with russia at the department of justice. well we have a little more detail here. we know that rosenstein pushed back when the president tried to hang the firing of jim comey on him. he developmentally objected to that. the letter he wrote, the memo he wrote to the president didn t actually take reach the conclusion that comey should be fired. he talked about actions he had taken. he disagreed with the way comey conducted the public part of the clinton email investigation. but rosenstein never called for the firing. spo i think we have the next step that occurs when there is an outcry from the white house they don t want to see a special
