The fact that original letter firing Comey may have mentioned Russia probe raises key Q.
Trump then asked Rosenstein for memo creating a pretext for the firing.
But Trump gave original letter citing Russia probe to Rosenstein. Need to hear from lawyers on what this means: pic.twitter.com/c54xOe78aj

A plain reading would seem to mean Rosenstein
was asked for memo on firing
had Trump's letter firing Comey that cited Russia probe
delivered memo blaming unfair treatment of Hillary, which Trump cited as pretext
Don't know what this means. But it cries out for explication.

Final thought:
There is so much news in this piece that it's easy to *overlook* the new revelations underscoring the degree to which Trump saw the role of the AG as protecting *him*: pic.twitter.com/zbwr6ylHeH

Do you suppose that MaGahn knows all about Trump laundering Russian mob (oligarch) money?
What keeps Trump up at night is the Russian money laundering scheme that Mueller is investigating.
Trump and his crime family have been laundering Russian mob (oligarch) money for 25 years. For the last 15 years Kushner, Don Jr. and Ivanka have been willing participants in these crimes and they belong in jail.
Mueller should also be investigating Republican House members Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan and Devin Nunes for obstruction of justice and impeding a federal investigation.
