Rep. Speier: ‘Rumor on the Hill’ is Trump to Fire Mueller Before Christmas
KQED ^ | 16 Dec 2017

Posted on 12/16/2017 2:47:56 PM PST by mandaladon

Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-San Mateo) told KQED Newsroom on Friday that she believes Republicans are trying to shut down the House Intelligence Committee’s probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

Speier also said, “The rumor on the Hill when I left yesterday was that the president was going to make a significant speech at the end of next week. And on Dec. 22nd, when we are out of D.C., he was going to fire Robert Mueller.”

If this were to happen, Speier said, it would cause a constitutional crisis. “That is Saturday massacre 2.0,” she said. “Without a doubt there would be an impeachment effort.”

Fellow representative, Adam Schiff, had the same concerns.

Schiff says that no witnesses have been scheduled after next Friday, and that dozens of outstanding witnesses have not been contacted. He tweeted that there will be interviews next week, but they will be held out of state while important votes will be keeping members of Congress in Washington D.C.

They’re baiting Trump because they know Mueller has blown all credibility and has come up empty.

There is no need for Trump to fire Mueller. McCabe will resign before he has to testify before Congress next week. Mueller won’t be far behind.

They are calling it a Constitutional Crisis. How is it a Constitutional Crisis when a deputy U.S. attorney general appointed his best buddy to do the 'witch hunt'?

I read somewhere that Mueller had to get 'special dispensation' because he was tainted by the scandals in the FBI while he was Director. So, he is flawed to the nth degree before all of this misery even started.

Mueller is a great thing for Trump. Firing him would just start the whole witch hunt all over.

Mueller continues to make himself, the FBI leadership and Democrats look foolish.

It’s a “popcorn time” extravaganza!

Not after the OIG keeps leaking the withheld facts, and Congress takes apart McCab, Priestep, Strzok, etc.

Let them, this is a joke, a witch hunt run by criminals. And while he’s at it he should fire every last bum put in place by the Obama regime.

Rumor is that Jackie Speier has asked Santa to bring her a brain for Christmas.

Taking another angle:

Trump’s team plants this rumor. Libs squeal to high heaven and defend Mueller.

Mueller then comes out with a report that incriminates Rat power players.

Boom!
