Should the DAG be joking about wearing a wire and entrapping POTUS? Or was he joking....

Rosenstein proposed secretly recording conversations with Trump, invoking 25th Amendment: NYT

A Justice Department spokeswoman provided a comment to the Times from a person who was present for the discussions, saying Rosenstein’s remarks were meant to be taken as sarcasm.

Rosenstein issued a statement to the Times.

“The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect,” he said. “I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda.”

McCabe is talking, cutting a deal and hanging Rosenstein out to dry?

...Rosenstein’s remarks were meant to be taken as sarcasm.

mairdie's link has that, but also has this...

But according to the others who described his comments, Mr. Rosenstein not only confirmed that he was serious about the idea but also followed up by suggesting that other F.B.I. officials who were interviewing to be the bureau’s director could also secretly record Mr. Trump.
I'll go with mardie's link...no offense.
