Looking at the three top lines of the news blast you posted, I am once again thinking there’s something there about the confusion regarding Rosenstein. I wonder if the Trump administration just exposed a leaker by giving out information in private to two different stories (resigned/fired) and seeing who says what about it.
I saw a couple other things; one theory that the meeting was also used as a broader op to see what any embedded resistance might do to test + expose the ‘red line’. I also saw a photo of RR + JFK outside the WH - it was later alluded to in an article (WashTimes I think) that it was cordial & RR was smiling. I’d have posted the photo but I never saw or found again - but it left me wondering ... I was thinking of the audio we have from Omarosa when she met with JFK and, at the end, he said he was leaving and then other folks would speak with her. My inference from all of this is that this is definitely in the realm of resignation vs. recusal and likely not termination.
I’ve often thought Rosenweasel was a black hat, but I also wonder if he is cooperating ... if so, he is playing a role like Sessions.
It is easy to cast him as bad, but we will not know with certainty until charges are filed/revealed.
And of course, I think you are correct about what just happened.
