Rosenstein wrote the definitive memo outlining the various reasons for firing Comey; he also strongly recommended Comey’s termination.

It was Jeff Sessions mistake. Session selected and signed off on Rosenstein and Trump approved it. Sessions doesn’t quite understand that the deepstate is at war with Trump and continue to try to handle things in a conventional an honorable manner.
