Washington Rod Rosenstein took aim at James Comey Monday, calling him a"partisan pundit" in a speech that included the most public retelling yet of the twists and turns of the Russia investigation by the man who oversaw it.
Speaking to a group of business and civic leaders in Baltimore, the former deputy attorney general -- just days removed from a tumultuous tenure at the Department of Justice -- recounted how he had prepared a memo in 2017 that supported President Donald Trump's firing of Comey, then the FBI director, and defended his decision to appoint Robert Mueller as a special counsel in the wake of that firing.
