"On the day it was reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein offered to wear a wire around President Donald Trump, he allegedly told a White House official he would resign and that he did not want Trump to fire him on Twitter.
"I can go. I'm ready to go. I can resign. But I don't want to go out with a tweet," Rosenstein reportedly told [John] Kelly. Trump has dismissed multiple people in his orbit with tweets.
Rosenstein was reportedly fearful of Trump ruining his reputation."
