On Friday, a newly-released report revealed that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has allegedly told multiple people in private conversations that he did the right thing by firing disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, insisting that the American public does not yet have all the facts about him.
Rosenstein has reportedly told confidantes that he is prepared to be fired, saying that he is at peace with the likelihood because he knows he did the job with integrity. NBC News reports:
Rosenstein has said in recent private conversations that history will prove he did the right thing by firing Comey in May 2017, claiming that the American people do not have all the facts about what led to his decision to write the memo that led to Comey’s dismissal, the sources said.
The NBC News’ report comes right as Comey’s new book is set to be released and a recorded interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos is set to air this Sunday.
Comey’s book has already been widely criticized by multiple people in the media for containing multiple nothingburgers, and has been written off by legal experts for supposedly not being accurate.
