Kabuki theatre. Rosenstein and Sesions bait the President into firing Comey, then Rosenstein immediately appoints Comey’s BFF to investigate the President for alleged obstruction of justice because he fired Comey on the recommendation of Rosenstein and Comey.

Rosenstein was a Trump appointee. Now of course, Trump didn’t know him. He had to rely on Sessions (or other Republicans) for that recommendation.
