After several false starts, Rod Rosenstein finally manages to resign

In a letter to Trump, Rosenstein echoed two of Trump's signature phrases on Monday, writing that he helped staff the department with officials "devoted to the values that make America great" and adding that "we always put America first".

According to the letter, he will leave his post on May 11.

In February, Trump nominated former litigator Jeffrey Rosen to replace Rosenstein, who had often been the subject of the president's ire.

[...]

"Our nation is safer, our elections are more secure, and our citizens are better informed about covert foreign influence efforts," his resignation letter said.

In it he thanked the president for "the opportunity to serve" and said the Department of Justice "bears a special responsibility to avoid partisanship".

Really, Rod? So what happened?
"We enforce the law without fear or favor because credible evidence is not partisan, and truth is not determined by opinion polls. We ignore fleeting distractions ... because a republic that endures is not governed by the news cycle."
Wishful thinking or just lying?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:



Pathetic, Rod.  Pathetic.
