I could not care less if a hundred sources confirmed it. So what? He is the President. He can hire and fire appointees at will. It is a non-story.
And I
at you for using that clown Hannity as a source.

Lmfao CNN is resorting to Hail Marys since the New Years started. It’s pathetic they spin lie and try to create crimes out of fake stories that are the farthest thing from illegal. It’s becoming sad and Cuomo trying to spin it tonight has been pure comedy.

So what?
He can fire whomever he wants. The Supreme Court says he can.
It is perfectly legal for him to do so, regardless of whether it is not politically expedient.
I think it would be a political mistake and would have advised against it myself.
I also can understand why he would want to do so. The investigation has always been a waste of time and has impeded Trumps ability to get things done.
Of course that is why the Democrats wanted this bullshite investigation in the first place

Justify what? Was Honest Bob fired? For God's sake? No.
Listen, you dumb mother fricker, this is a counter operation against the memo and the texts.
Do you not understand that your overlords have pulled your drawstring with bullshite and turned you loose to be their tool?

Fox News has now gone in on the "counter operation" and is now being used by the liberal overlords to pull their drawstrings and have been turned loose to be their tool.

President Trump told top officials this past June that he wanted to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, but was talked out of doing so by White House counsel Don McGahn and other aides, a source close to the White House told Fox News late Thursday.

Republican Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania said in an interview that McGahn “prevented an Archibald Cox moment,” referring to the special prosecutor ordered fired by President Richard M. Nixon during the Watergate investigation.
“I believe now that this revelation has been made public, that there will be increasing pressure to protect Mueller,” Dent added.
Trump was initially calm when Mueller was appointed, surprising White House aides, according to a senior administration official.
But in the weeks that followed, the president spoke with a number of friends and advisers who convinced him that Mueller would dig through his private finances and look beyond questions of collusion with Russians. They warned that the probe could last years and would ruin his first term in office.
quote:
Trump’s ire at Mueller rose to such a level that then-White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon and then-Chief of Staff Reince Priebus grew “incredibly concerned” that he was going to fire Mueller and sought to enlist others to intervene with the president, according to a Trump adviser who requested anonymity to describe private conversations.
Both of the men were deeply worried about the possibility and discussed how to keep him from making such a move, this person said.
Priebus and Bannon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
In one meeting with other advisers, Bannon raised the concern that if Trump fired Mueller it could trigger a challenge to his presidency based on the 25th Amendment, which lays out the process of who would succeed a president in case of incapacitation.
Despite internal objections, Trump decided to assert that Mueller had unacceptable conflicts of interest and moved to remove him from his position, according to the people familiar with the discussions.
In response, McGahn said he would not remain at the White House if Trump went through with the move, according to a senior administration official.
The president, in turn, backed off.

It's a nothing story. Made up out of nothing, means nothing and it'll be overblown and people will go overboard over essentially nothing. It's fricking ridiculous.

For being a nothing story, it is sure plastered all over the front of conservative websites. Go check out foxnews or drudge.

As Professor Alan Dershowith just said, "The president is within his rights to fire anyone he wants in the executive branch without question."
So frick off.
