It started in 2017 when deputy AG Rosenstein (note the name) wrote a memo recommending POTUS fire FBI director Comey for mishandling Hillary's emails. He passed the memo to Sessions who in turn passed it to Trump. Trump listened to his lackeys and fired Comey the next day. As soon as he did it WaPo published a story about the FBI secretly investigating Trump's "ties with Russia". Rosenstein saw that and said "ohh you fired the guy that was unto you, you must have something to hide!" and appointed Mueller as a special counsel to investigate "russia collusion".
It was an obvious setup from the beginning and Trump fell for it like a baby. He honestly has no one to blame but himself.
Trump is responsbile for the russia hoax.
