re: How long will it take him to fire Jack Smith?

Can he even legally fire Smith? Why not just instruct his new AG to dismiss the cases?

When you say fire, you mean arrest? He has to be water boarded at GITMO. No other options.

Yeah frick all that. He is an enemy of the state. Arrest him and water board him until he spills who he answers to.

BUT, worth noting, they're going to invent one (PR wise) anyway. If he farts upwind they will call that a constitutional crisis.
AND, they already have one waiting- Merchan and Bragg. That's why the sentencing was delayed.
"Constitutional Crisis" is unavoidable. Have to attack it. It's happening one way or the other, and that's before the Dim governors in MI and PA orchestrate a certification crisis.
quote:It won't come to trial before inauguration so AG will do just that. And they'll scream constitutional crisis on that (it isn't, it is quite clear cut). That's the mistake he made in 2016 that SFP is referring to. He played nice and let the career officials do their job honorably. But they aren't honorable. They fabricated a pretext that led to an independent counsel, which lead to two impeachments.
Can he even legally fire Smith? Why not just instruct his new AG to dismiss the cases?
He needs to attack them, because they are damn sure going to attack him. Bragg and Smith aren't going to stop. They will be the constitutional crisis SFP says he needs to try and avoid. There's no avoiding it. The fire is already incoming.

It all depends on how aggressive the Trump Adm. is re pursuing a RICO-based investigation of the whole conspiratorial debacle. The evidence is there, but will be viewed from a Subjective pov, and we know what Trump has promised and what Bannon wants, but the question then becomes the SOP for Republican 'bipartisanship'.
Trump can focus on policy, or cleaning up the corruption, but focusing on the later will impede the former. Congress is close, and votes will be required for passage of critical legislation.
In a fair system, Smith should be where he and his ilk put the Jan. 6 people, but we know it ain't fair. A big battle was won but the 'war' continues.

And I will point on little technicality out that doesn't get mentioned often.
The independent counsel statute expired. Both Smith is and Mueller was special counsels.
The idea of firing a special counsel is not a constitutional crisis. It is wholly made up. It is not real. Trump could have fired Mueller and if Rosenstein refused (because Sessions recused) he could fire him and move on to the next guy. And then there's the fact that Smith did not have sanction from Senate making his position even more precarious (curious, it is a Dem controlled Senate, hmmmm).
Trump will not make the same mistake twice. I'm saying he needs to go further and seek investigation and if any, by any stretch of legal imagination, a charge could be produced to prosecute Smith.
Firing an independent counsel is a constitutional crisis because it was under laws passed by both houses.
