Several Senators who attended the classified briefing by Rosenstein today just announced this on TV.

If true, this would suggest that Rosenstein's memo was cover, Comey being fired for other reasons.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein knew that FBI Director James Comey would be removed before he penned a now-famous memo that was cited by the White House as rationale for the firing, Democratic senators said Thursday after a briefing with the senior DOJ official. Rosenstein, who a day earlier named a special counsel to oversee the Russia probe that Comey was helping lead before his ouster, briefed all U.S. senators on Capitol Hill Thursday. Coming out of that briefing, lawmakers said Rosenstein revealed that President Trump’s decision preceded his memo. “He knew that Comey was going to be removed prior to him writing his memo,” Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., also said Rosenstein learned on May 8 that Trump “was going to terminate Comey.” Rosenstein wrote the memo on May 9. The memo is a critical factor, as the Trump administration initially cited Rosenstein’s assessment in its explanation for Comey’s firing last week.
