Several Democrats in Congress warned President Trump on Friday that he will face consequences if he fires special counsel Robert Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. “All Americans, regardless of party, agree on the fundamental principle that no one is above the law,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) told MSNBC Friday. “And if President Trump were to fire Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein, and then [get] special counsel Mueller fired, I believe Congress would begin impeachment proceedings.”
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) echoed Lieu’s sentiments, saying that Congress would come together to make sure they overrule Trump’s authority on the matter.
“Congress will not allow the president to so egregiously overstep his authority,” Schiff said in a statement.
“If President Trump were to try to replicate [former President Richard] Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre by firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in addition to Mueller, Congress must unite to stop him–without respect to party, and for the sake of the nation,” he added.
Trump claimed on Twitter that he was “being investigated” for his decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey, insinuating that “the man who told [him] to fire the FBI Director” is also the one investigating him, referencing the deputy attorney general. He concluded the tweet by saying that the investigation is a “witch hunt” against him:

I believe people will just point at you and laugh, Mr. Schiff. Like they always do.
“Congress will not allow the president to so egregiously overstep his authority,” Schiff said in a statement.
Firing either of these guys is within the President’s Constitutional authority.
Bravo, plain talk!!!
Could not agree with you more!!!
Praying for a GOP super majority in both houses next year.
The democrats and virtually the entire swamp are dangerous domestic terrorists. They must be reckoned with asap.
However, our side must refrain from physical violence.
We cannot stoop their level!!!
Mueller, Rosenstein, and McCabe need to be fired yesterday.
Trump should order Mueller to include Hillary’s emails in the investigation. Mueller will have to do that or resign.
Trump should start an official federal investigation into Hillary and the democrat party corruption. Let’s see who hits pay dirt first.
Always remember this:
Republicans hold office.
Democrats hold power.
As long as Republicans are in charge of the committees and doling out perks and favors to K Street and the Chamber of Commerce, the country can get screwed.
No weapon formed against President Trump shall prosper. Every tongue that rises up against him shall be condemned.
That is my new thought on the shooting...kill enough GOPe to take over the house. Why did he need a list??
[Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA)]
Schiff is a punk, anyways.
Rep. Ted Lieu is a disgusting Demo-faggot and is the minority party in congress. How does he think there will be impeachment? His HIV has severely affected his brain.
Absolutely
Hey ya bellicose dummies, you’re in the minority. AND it is within the president’s authority. So shut your stupid mouths.
House Republicans should unanimously threaten to begin impeachment proceedings against Schiff for sedition.
I have said this before and I will say it again, California is American now and forever. If it comes to a war so be it. I don’t care if the entire country of Mexico has to be destroyed. All it would take is to lay seige to 3 cities: Los Angeles, San Franciscomand the Bay Area, and portions of San Diego and the rebellion would be over. California isnt the problem, it is the three major metro areas that are high density and can be easily isolated decapitated, and pacified.
Dems: We’ll impeach if he fires Muelleu.
Trump: ...Hold my beer.
Rather than fire him I’d limit him . Declare this appointment has until December first to reach a conclusion , afterwards the office is dissolved.
Does Paul Ryan know that this makes him look like shit? WTF is running congress? The guy’s a total loser. What a puss. What a lousy mistake he is.
