I think it's basically Rosenstein doing himself a favor. Talking about wearing a wire to try to snag the President, and trying to organize a 25th Amendment cabal to remove him from office, is just a horribly unprofessional look for Rosenstein.

Also, I'm starting to think that Rosenstein was one of the main sources for Bob Woodward's story. Certainly, it's the first glimpse into how Woodward could have gotten his info about the 25th Amendment.

In any case, Rosenstein resigning likely saves himself being raked over the coals publicly for those actions.

Or maybe Rosenweasel has just become too big of a liability, and The Swamp wants to cut their losses and ordered him gone.

I would NOT count on that.
