He would have to order Rosenstein to do it. Assuming Rosenstein would quit, then you start going down the DoJ chain of command until someone says yes. Solicitor General is next and that's an Obama holdover in an acting capacity. Associate AG is fourth in line and that's a Trump appointee so my guess is it would end there.

Yes. The SC works for the AG and the AG works for Trump. Nixon fired his special counsel too.

He don't have to fire Meuller...he can Tweet the truth that Meuller is Comey's mentor and personal friend. And that Comey is sinking fast.

In fact, any investigatory communication between Comey and Meuller...now becomes fair game as collusion or even obstruction in and of itself.

Meuller had best let this hot potato go...because His Investigation - I.e., "related matters" - is going to be forced into areas that become highly problematic for HIM...because of His relationship with Comey. I'm sure Trump will have someone 'explain' this to him.

If President fired Bob Mueller, Congress would immediately re-establish independent counsel and appoint Bob Mueller.


Remember it was Bill Clinton who wanted the Independent Counsel to be taken away from Congress and Congress agreed with him in 1999. That's why the law wasn't renewed then. Sure, Congress could renew it as Schiff says, but they'd need Republican support.

Comey, under oath said he did what he did to get a special councel. They hired his best friend.

Set up all the way. NO WAY we should give Comey what he planned. And then he and Mueller met to discuss his Senate testimony in private, before the hearing.

frick THAT NOISE

A trial balloon for who? Liberal reporters who've already proselytized over every single member of Trump's inner circle being fired?

They certainly appear to have taken a page out of the Progressive playbook. This looks to be a somewhat orchestrated press effort and not just the result of organic reporting. While a trail balloon seems plausible, it might also be a smoke screen.

It's now approaching the level of, if he's got nothing to hide why does he keep firing any possible investigation?
