Last Friday the New York Times published a bombshell report alleging that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein floated the idea of secretly recording conversations with President Donald Trump in 2017, and also proposed the possibility of removing Trump from office by invoking the 25th Amendment.
Rosenstein's comments about recording Trump came after the firing of James Comey - which was followed by Rosenstein authorizing Robert Mueller's special counsel.
James Comey would've been fired by President Trump regardless, but it was a memo from Rosenstein that was used to officially justify it.
Rosenstein wrote in a memo to Jeff Sessions evaluating Comey's handling of the Clinton email investigation that "I cannot defend the Director's handling of the conclusion of the investigation of Secretary Clinton's emails, and I do not understand his refusal to accept serious mistakes; it is one of the few issues that unites people of diverse perspectives." While not a partisan document, Rosenstein also supports the the left-wing narrative that Comey's actions may have cost Hillary the election in the memo.
There's no way that Rosenstein didn't know his memo would be used to justify Comey's firing, but he was reported being "Shaken" and "Overwhelmed" by the New York Times following Comey's termination.
Immediately after Comey was dismissed, Rosenstein let it be known that Trump seemed incompetent in interviews of candidates to run the FBI. Though he had shredded Comey in his May 9 memo, Rosenstein reportedly began telling FBI officials that he wished Comey were still running the FBI, and even contemplated consulting Comey on appointment of a special counsel.
The man who supervised the investigation, which found evidence of Russian nuclear corruption, was Rod Rosenstein.
