This might have been what Rosenstein asked for when threatening to quit - my speculation.

Claims he fired Comey for showboating

Trump is the boss. He can fire anyone he wants.

Mr. Trump said Mr. Comey reassured him first at a private dinner and then two other times during phone conversations. He acknowledged that he had directly asked the F.B.I. director if he was being investigated.

“I said, ‘If it’s possible, would you let me know if I’m under investigation,’ ” Mr. Trump said. “He said, ‘You are not under investigation.’ ”

“He wanted to stay on as the F.B.I. head,” Mr. Trump said. “I said: ‘I’ll consider. We’ll see what happens.’ But we had a very nice dinner and at that time, he told me I wasn’t under investigation, which I knew anyway.”

If he knew he wasn't under investigation, why would he ask Comey?

From another article

Mr. McCabe also said that the Justice Department’s investigation into whether any Trump associates colluded with Russia in the presidential election was “highly significant,” another direct contradiction of the White House.

Also, it's reported that Comey just asked for more money to widen that probe.

Is Trump trying to say that he was somehow not officially part of that?

If he knew he wasn't under investigation, why would he ask Comey?

To make double sure.

"You are not only under investigation, we have high definition photographs of you prancing about in a tutu and no other clothing while engaging in sexual intercourse with underage lactating hermaphrodite midgets."

If he had said that instead of telling Trumpligula he wasn't under investigation, he would still have a job.

To make double sure.

Him pressing Comey on this is the equivalent of Clinton meeting Lynch. He wouldn't do it to just 'make sure,' unless he's an idiot.

Trump says other person is showboating. --no shame at all

Trump says other person is a grandstander. --with straight face too

That's were my 'there can be only one' comment came from. Well that and the highlander.

Trump is certainly a projecting troll. Your analysis of Ironman was hilarious. How often do you think projection determines a trolls accusations? What's your take on the reasons for that?
