Rosenstein considered sneaking Trump’s ‘potentially incriminating’ draft letter firing Comey out of White House

EXCERPT

Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein considered sneaking out of the White House a copy of President Trump’s draft letter firing FBI Director James Comey in May 2017.

That four-page letter was never used, and in fact Rosenstein himself wrote a distinctly different memo used to justify Comey’s termination, but the previously unreported account adds further details about the tumultuous experience the Justice Department’s No. 2 official had over a span of several days which led up to the appointment of Robert Mueller to be special counsel of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The existence of the initial draft letter was first reported by the New York Times in September 2017 and only a portion of the letter, which was provided to Mueller’s team, was conveyed in the special counsel’s final report. But a report by the New York Review of Books on Wednesday sheds new light on the contents of that draft letter and Rosenstein’s actions in May 2017.

A weasel with a Black Hat, or a weasel with a White hat, seems to still be a weasel.

OMG! Not the NYRB! That's hard hitting journalism. Weren't they the source of Watergate?

Just enough true facts to hang a hat upon... and a bit of rouge to make it look nice... like that bar girl at closing time.
