Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, in a resignation letter that he submitted to Donald Trump, on Monday, included a list of things for which he was, he claimed,

here. The next blessing from Trump that Rosenstein counted was “the courtesy and humor you often display in our personal conversations.”
