Random thought...is he telegraphing a shakeup/removal?
If so...bad move. Cards close to the vest is a better play.
I see a telegraphing of massive tension, but not telegraphing to Rosenstein who must know without reading the letter. Rather, this is telegraphing to the public.
Notice the subject matter here too - FBI handling of a Hillary e-mail matter. Wait, isn't he recused from that? Isn't that in Rosenstein's purview? LOL. Nope. I mentioned this a few days ago. Investigating persons in the FBI is not the same as investigating crooked Hillary, not at all.
Sessions has claimed the "investigate and prosecute Comey" turf.
There are references to DAG as a position...

I think that depends on “style”
When I wrote reports for Internal Control or Procedures, it was standard to refer to the person as their title - not their name ie CEO, COO, Supervisor etc.
Part of this was simply to be neutral and not trigger someone by using their name. If someone goofs and you have to report it, somehow it takes the sting out of it - just a bit.
So that was the style that we were supposed to use. To this day, I use that same style from habit.
