“As a general proposition, you have to understand the Department of Justice. We take confidentiality seriously, so when we have memoranda about our ongoing matters, we have an obligation to keep that confidential,” Rosenstein said.
Asked if he would prohibit releasing memos on a discussion with the president, he said, “As a general position, I think it is quite clear. It's what we were taught, all of us as prosecutors and agents.”
Rosenstein also made it clear with his comments that Comey betrayed the culture and standards within the DOJ and FBI by illegally leaking classified information regarding his meeting with the President.
