Contradicting Trump, deputy AG Rosenstein says his memo not meant to ‘justify’ Comey firing
“My memorandum is not a statement of reasons to justify a for-cause termination,’’ Rosenstein told lawmakers, according to prepared remarks released by the Justice Department Friday. “My memorandum is not a press release.’’
Ah
So the backtracking and obfuscation begins
“I didn’t really mean what I said, you just thought I said what I mean’t”
Pretty obvious the whole thing’s a frame, isn’t it?
The whole thing was probably done just to support a decision that had already been made before Donald Trump was even inaugurated.
