Maybe. The memo he wrote certainly doesn't look like something from the DoJ, it reads more like an oppo piece. Quoting what was being said about Comey rather than objectively evaluating actions against norms and standards did a lot to hurt his reputation by itself, let alone doing it to retroactively justify an already made decision.
