Sessions Oct. 28th: "Comey did the right thing." May 9th: "And for that he should be fired."

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/5/10/1660767/-Sessions-said-Comey-had-an-absolute-duty-to-do-the-thing-he-now-says-he-fired-Comey-for-doing

Rosenstein slams Comey’s conduct in his July 5, 2016 press conference and his October 28 letter, as well as Comey’s refusal since then to acknowledge that he did anything wrong. Here’s what Rosenstein’s boss, Jeff Sessions, the man supposedly accepting Rosenstein’s recommendation to fire Comey, said about the October 28 letter at the time:

"He had an absolute duty, in my opinion, 11 days or not, to come forward with the new information that he has and let the American people know that, too."

Please check out New York Times and Washington Post for new details. In initial reports of Comey's firing, Rosenstein's actions were initially reported based on the White House characterization of them.
