After a spate of weekend op-eds and cable news hits from Newt etc., we now have a friend of Trump's saying he's seriously thinking it over
quote:

A friend of President Trump said Monday that Trump is considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the FBI investigation into potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

“I think he’s considering perhaps terminating the special counsel,” Chris Ruddy told PBS’ Judy Woodruff on “PBS NewsHour.”

“I think he’s weighing that option.”

“I personally think it would be a very significant mistake,” Ruddy continued, “even though I don’t think there’s a justification ... for a special counsel.”

If this chatter doesn't provoke a reaction from Congressional Republicans I think he's gonna go for it

Mueller is a friend of Comey. Comey is a potential target in this "MUH Russians" investigation, especially in terms of "tapping Trump's wires" and FBI leaks.

Their friendship is a conflict to a fair and impartial investigation.

Technically the AG has to fire Mueller. Jeff Sessions has recused himself so that would then fall to Rosenstein. Rosenstein is the one who appointed him. Would be interesting to see if Rosenstein resigns because he refuses to do it. It would then fall to someone lower in the hierarchy.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN WATERGATE.

God, I hope Trump tells Rosenstein to fire Mueller.

This would be EPIC !

It almost seems like Trump wants to look as guilty as possible

Yeah, doubt it happens. Just concerned about their scope. If they just focus on Russia, like they are supposed too, then I don't have a problem, but if they start widening the scope, then they have overstepped and deserve to be disbanded..

1 SC appointed by Trump DOJ
2 He didn't know that when he made his tweet?
3 All of those lawyers from the firm that represents Kushner and Manafort.. I guess that is quite partisan

What makes this even more obvious is that both Comey and Mueller are Republicans. I don't even think it's possible for Trump to find anyone as qualified or respected as Mueller to replace him.

Is there anyone in Washington who doesn't have connections? Everyone who's qualified will be tied to partisan hacks. Justice has no chance. Ever.

Comey is not a Republican, no matter what anything says...

Although Comey was a registered Republican for most of his life, he disclosed during Congressional testimony on July 7, 2016, that he was no longer registered with any party.[1] Comey donated to Senator John McCain's campaign in the 2008 presidential election and to Governor Mitt Romney's campaign in the 2012 presidential election.[184]


From his freaking Wikipedia. Sounds like a real liberal

Wouldn't be surprised if he converted to Islam, or gender correction Surgery, soon...

What do they both have in common? They're both no fan of Donald Trump's. Comey may be a Republican but he is no doubt a member of the cuck establishment.
