1. @AriMelber's interview of McCabe confirms what I thought in May of 2017 when Trump fired Comey using the memo that Rosenstein wrote.
Rod knew that he was wrong to write that memo to hide the real reason for the firing because he knew Trump's real intent.

2. So Rod hiring Mueller upon McCabe's suggestion (and during a time that Rod was really stressed that he was perhaps an accomplice to an obstruction of the Russia probe) was an attempt for him to correct his action of writing the memo that was a cover up of DJT's true intent.
3. Rosenstein therefore knew that Comey firing was all about the Russia probe and therefore sought to shield DJT from his worst impulses. But by writing that memo, Rod was not acting like the DAG but acted to cover up DJT's intent (DJT admitted it anyway to Lester Holt).
4. So despite Rod's good behavior to hire and protect Mueller after the Comey firing - is he still considered a player in helping to obstruct justice?
