Report: Trump Considering Firing Special Counsel Mueller
thegatewaypundit ^ | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 06/12/2017 6:46:53 PM PDT by davikkm

PBS Newshour anchor Judy Woodruff posted to Twitter Monday evening that Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax, told her that President Donald Trump is “”considering perhaps terminating” Robert Mueller as special counsel”.

Former FBI Director Mueller was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein last month to investigate alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Recent reports indicate that Mueller is looking to expand his investigation to include the decision to fire his successor as FBI director, James Comey.

GQ described Mueller’s hiring for the investigation as a “Murderer’s Row of Prosecutors” and “men and women responsible for bringing down Nixon, Enron, and the mafia.”

No crimes have been alleged to have been committed, nor has President Trump been accused of any crimes. Comey testified last week that he had told Trump several times before he was fired that Trump was not under investigation.

.....”The problem now is if Trump fires Mueller he ignites another firestorm of accusations of obstruction and cover-up and the madness accelerates.”.........

It’s going to accelerate anyway regardless what Trump does or does not do.......it’s moreso the timing if he does decide to let Muller go. He played that very well regarding Comey’s fire.....I suspect he’ll do likewise if it comes to letting Muller go.

Coulter said “let the GOP name their special counsel we will primary them.”

Trump will not fire Mueller. He just has no idea what is happening and no balls to stop it.

If it were Clinton, Mueller just might be sent out on a one-car-accident.

They are going to scream and froth at the mouth no matter what President Trump does. He may as well just do it and get it over with before any of his people go to jail for process crimes.

Comey is closely associated with Comey, and some consider them good, “Buddies”

Jesus Christ I would hope so. If you can't be good buddies with yourself, who the hell can you be good buddies with?

Alternatively you could always hire a proofreader.

I’d consider firing him. Tell the American people Congress can investigate and you’ll leave it up to the American people. I don’t think people want this special counsel BS screwing up the country. Breyer than what Clinton did which was to wildly denigrate special counsel Starr.

“what needs to happen is Sessions needs to get involved and make sure Mueller’s duties are restricted to the russian “investigation”...”

From what he’s not been doing, Sessions needs to resign. If he steps on his d*ck tomorrow it will be inexcusable. Judge Napolitano says it’s a risky proposition for him to testify tomorrow. If Sessions steps up, I will apologize.

President Trump should go on TV (fox) with a prepared statement... That speaks to congress, and name the leaders in congress by name... Ryan, McConnell, etc...

“You all know this.. you all have known this for months... there never was an investigation on Russia, collusion. You all knew I had nothing to do with the lies you all made up to try to remove me and overturn the people’s vote. After Comey’s testimony last week, you know he finally said for all to hear, what he told me... that I was never under investigation. That all of this was a lie from beginning to end, and we now know how deep this country is in the swamp... You all have been courting with that swamp for a long time. Comey could have publicly stated months ago that there was no investigation... but he chose to do what the swamp government wanted and he too turned into one of the leakers..one of the bad dudes in Washington. He is deep in it with hillary also. The previous administration was a swamp dweller and it’s all contaminated. It all has to be cleaned/drained.

We know comey and mueller are buddies, and I don’t trust them. There is no investigation and there is no need for an investigator.. There has never before been so much bald face lying as has been coming from congress and the media. It’s been vicious and it’s been aimed at even my 11 yr old son. What kind of people are you to do what you have done! The attacks have been beyond belief... you have either been one to do the attacking or you have condoned them, and you ought to be ashamed.

Today, I am removing Mueller from the non investigation. I am closing out, all of what you made up and carried out for months, spending tax money on your plans. This has to stop and today it’s over. My attorneys are looking into what we will do next... but it will not be in your hands.. it will be in the President’s.

You all knew there was no investigation and you all knew the past months’s hard attacks on me and my family, were based on lies.. you made it all up to try to get rid of me.. and overturn the voters voices out there. Today it turns around. I am cleaning it up. This witch hunt is officially over and you all are fired! Anyone who doesn’t like it, you can leave or be fired also. You in the media, have known this was all made up... you did your best to deceive the nation. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.. grown adults trying to pull this off on the good people of the United States. God help this nation to survive in the midst of such a lying attempt to have your way and telling the people you are willing to lie to them to get what you want. You cannot be trusted to run a dog pound. Term limits are the only answer... and the media has made themselves the enemy of the people.. both congress and the media were supposed to serve the people.. and instead they have served themselves. The people’s vote mean nothing to you.

I am the President and have been given the power by the Constitution. Today, this witch hunt is over. Your lies and deceit is being shown for what it is.. despicable! Your rein of terror is over. Good day!” and walk off.

To be decisive is what he needs.. he needs to shut this circus down and he needs to reaffirm he is President and there will be no more of this. The party is over for the left and anti Trump anti Americans. Their lies have spread so much hate and destruction... there is not enough of anything to ever make it up to the people. Pres Trump has to treat it for what it was... a huge lie and it’s OVER!
