The Washington Post is screaming in bold white on a red background right now:
BREAKING: Deputy attorney general threatened to quit after being cast as impetus of Comey's firing, which was already decided, source says
Rosenstein threatened to resign after the narrative emerging from the White House on Tuesday evening cast him as a prime mover of the decision to fire Comey and that the president acted only on his recommendation, said the person close to the White House, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Justice Department officials declined to comment.
Mr. Rosenstein is not a pawn and not a Trump lackey, I do continue to believe.
