Trump Might be Able to Fire Mueller, Without Actually Firing Mueller
Law & Crine ^ | 12/19/2017 | Elura Nanos

For several months now, we’ve been on Mueller-watch, waiting to see if and when President Trump takes action to remove Robert Mueller from his post as special counsel in the Russia probe. This past weekend, Trump was asked point-blank whether he intends to fire Mueller – an inquiry to which POTUS responded an unequivocal, “no, I’m not,” followed up by the usual insistence that there was “no collusion whatsoever” between his campaign and Russia.

While it’s certainly a bit calming to hear that our president isn’t planning to go full-scale Nixon on the special counsel charged with investigating Russian interference into our election, Trump-watchers aren’t sighing with relief just yet. All signs are pointing to 45’s employing something of a work-around that would result in Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s being the next to hear, “you’re fired!” by President Trump. Yesterday, the Washington Post published a story detailing POTUS’ recent criticisms of Rosenstein. According to senior officials, Trump has been calling Rosenstein “weak,” and has mocked Rosenstein’s recent testimony before the House Judiciary Committee; Trump is also reportedly unimpressed with Rosenstein’s accountability, and has characterized Rosenstein as a “threat” to his presidency. Oh, and Trump also thinks Rosenstein is a Democrat.

Probably ValJar and Rice rotated the names on the requests.

What does “Republican” even MEAN in the Deep State? Anybody can pay a stipend and get a card from the Republican National Committee, or any of the various state committees, and/or go over to the county courthouse and change voter registration to “Republican”. Calling a dog’s tail a leg doesn’t make it magically over into a leg.

I think I figured out why the left is daring Trump to fire Mueller. They want to go back to Nixon’s firing of Archibald Cox and use Nixon as their narrative for getting rid of Trump. Everyone knows the name Nixon without actually knowing what happened.

The left and MSM will try to use their constituents ignorance to take Trump down.

It doesn’t seem like RINOs and liberals have any shame or care about any crimes they do, however. They just do more crime. I hope you are right.

Weasel Mueller largely controls Rosenweasel and Rosenweasel largely controls Rip van Sessions.

Mueller doesn’t need to be fired (he deserves it though). Replace Rosenweasel with someone who will get Weasel Mueller back on track and tell him to wrap it up wrt the Rooskie Stuff.

Don’t fire him but, instead, insist on an end point.

Say, if they haven’t turned up anything by March 1st, they should disband and admit there was no collusion between the Russian government and myself or my people.

Exclaim that it does not serve the American public to have a multi-year investigation that turns up no evidence of an actual crime.

Why not fire Rosenstein? Give Mueller a new boss.

What always amazes me is that Trump knew about all of this way back in early March when he made his “wires tapped” tweet. Remember the media reaction?

Trump is playing all these people for the fools they are. I’m not worried at all.

Yes, it is truly amazing. Trump has known about this all along and lets these fools play out their cards until they have no cards left.

And at every play, he is right there with a counter trump! (No pun intended, haha!)

Rosenstein is undercover as a Republican. He’s a weasel and completely dishonest, IMHO.
Jeff Seesions thinks Rosenstein is an honorable man though. Wish I could see it.

Don’t fire him. Give him enough rope and he will resign in disgrace.

Democrats don't resign in disgrace.

“Yet his advisers expect the manic Trump inevitably to give way to the depressive Trump, whose “friends and advisers [are] worried the deadline could come and go, leaving Trump frustrated and...”

HAHAHAHA!!!!
