While careful to hedge himself, it appears Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has broken the back of The Democrats’ desperate narrative by confirming that he stands by his memo that was initially used as the reason for former FBI Director James Comey’s firing.
As The Hill reports, Rosenstein told lawmakers, according to a released copy of his opening statement…
“It is a candid memorandum about the FBI Director’s public statements concerning a high-profile criminal investigation, I wrote it. I believe it. I stand by it.“
As a reminder, the memo came under criticism after the White House initially pointed to the document as the justification for Comey’s firing last week. President Trump later said last week he would have fired Comey regardless, although on Thursday he again cited the memo as his main reasoning.
