It appears there may be some validity to this (RR being our guy) where Rosenstein is super pissed at Obama for pardoning General Cartwright.

In 2012, Rosenstein oversaw a federal investigation into sensitive leaks that led retired Marine Gen. James E. Cartwright to plead guilty to making false statements about a covert U.S. cyber-attack on Iran's nuclear program.

Funny that the NYT took down this page, had to pull it from way back machine:

This article just adds more sauce, but specifically goes into how much the Washington Post believed HRC was going to win. Knowing what we know now, this article made me nauseous.

So i certainly believe it’s plausible that RR is /ourguy/ and has been acting like a traitorous rat to provide comfort and appearance of control to the DS.
Final judgment on him is withheld, but my severe hatred of the man is withdrawn and i’ll remain cautiously optimistic that he was part of the team to draw in the DS.
