Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has divulged new details about the reasoning behind his 2017 memo recommending the firing of then-FBI Director James Comey

Washington Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, days removed from a career in public service, continued to air his side of the story that has captivated Washington for the past two years, posting an essay online Thursday that divulged new details about the reasoning behind his 2017 memo recommending the firing of then-FBI Director James Comey.

RELATED: Rod Rosenstein bids farewell to Justice DepartmentThe essay, which is an expanded version of a speech that Rosenstein delivered Monday night in Baltimore, amounts to a defense of his involvement in Comey's firing and one of the first rebukes of his critics after graduating from nearly 30 years of Department of Justice regulations against public commentary.

He’s singing like a canary

Comey is a crook. Typical friend of cnn.

Interesting article in that CNN says Rosenstein has to defend his position for FIRING Comey! Why isn't it that Comey had to defend his insubbordination and refusal to follow FBI RULES and protocol and committing federal crimes for leaking and removing gv docs?

CYA

Rod, you did what you did; and what you did and HOW you did it speaks for itself. Comey, with all his flaws, has proven to be a stronger and more upright person than you appear to be. You seem to be a weak, sniveling man - look at yourself when you recently stood next to Barr ….

Rosenstien seems your lack of Backbone is gonna catch U up in Collusion w/the WH!...In any case your gonna Dance w/the Devil!AG Barr recruited you into aiding & abating a Felony Criminal Conspiracy!Republicans who help Obstruct McConnell;will be charged with Obstruction as well!

Complicit

Comey 😎😎 remember always God’s word will never pass away. You speak evil of things you don't know anything about. But you own corrupt deeds will destroy you . You have done evil, and you will be rewarded with evil. remember God’s words Comey

He could have said it in one word: scapegoat... or in two: Lordy, scapegoat!

If that's not obvious to your viewers, your viewers are brain-dead or sorely misinformed. Comey has disgraced the FBI..

Biggest joke in the history of America. AOC

He has less credibility than Drumpf. A Federalist , right wing stooge..

I say Rosenstein is a public coward with no balls. What is he trying to do now...'land' a f**king plane? RJRosenstein TheJusticeDept

Trumps's ball-licker said what?

Rosenstein is a squeamish mouse who reacts to whoever yells at him the loudest. The more we get into all of these investigations, the more we find out how words like honor and integrity are completely missing in politics.

Of course he does... What a weasel.

Ya, go away Rod Suckasstein.

When you got to keep explaining yourself.

No need to explain

You know what. I'm kinda done with Rod trying to save his own ass. I wish he could wore a wire to invoke the 25th amendment. But he didn't. He did not confront Barr. In my opinion, Comey is the hero, Rod is the zero.

Way to go rod. Tell the truth

Meanwhile, US Attorney Durham has convened a Grand Jury to begin issuing subpoenas and indictments in the attempted Coup of a legally elected President.

“Survivor”

Go away, Rod.

With more than 1,100 dead, Congo’s Ebola outbreak is only getting worse. Now doctors are forced to go undercover.

Soooo, no obstruction...

It's not an earthquake, it's realDonaldTrump 2020.
