It’s a nightmare scenario, but it’s not hard to imagine: President Trump, growing tired of the Russia investigation as it closes in on him, fires Robert S. Mueller III and moves to dismantle the Office of Special Counsel.
This would be a serious assault on the rule of law in the United States. The ability of the Department of Justice to enforce the laws would be in grave doubt. By now, Mr. Mueller has presumably amassed a great deal of evidence, some of which is highly classified, that may point toward serious crimes. Americans might reasonably wonder whether perpetrators, if they exist, would ever face justice.
We hope that such a constitutional crisis is unlikely. But if it does come to pass, there is a way that Mr. Mueller and his staff could prevent their important work from being permanently buried: They could become lawful whistle-blowers.
Many people think that exposing classified misconduct requires breaking the law. Not necessarily. If Mr. Mueller is fired, he and his team would not have to do anything illegal to disclose classified information and ensure that the American people learned the truth.
Here’s how it could work:
The moment he was dismissed, Mr. Mueller could lawfully take all the evidence he had collected — even the most highly classified materials — straight to Congress. If he personally lost access to the evidence, a remaining member of the Office of Special Counsel could do the same.

Trump firing Mueller is just fapping material for liberals.
Mueller only needs another 18 years of investigating Trump before he can claim a Pension ,LOL
“By now, Mr. Mueller has presumably amassed a great deal of evidence, some of which is highly classified, that may point toward serious crimes”
Presumably?
May point?
Some of which?
Right. Got it. It’s a Big Secret, see! He’s guarding all the bad stuff that maybe might mmmm could be there! So we gotta keep it up! He’s almost there! He hasn’t told anyone but baby it’s a done deal! Trust us!
More doubt and uncertainty whipped up by the Masters of BS.
NY Times is the CNN of print journalism. Fake News.
Mueller is too busy hiding his Whitey Burger involvement to comment
C'mon now,be real! The NY Slimes has this from 14 unnamed sources!
Mueller investigation is imploding and the longer he continues, the deeper the hole he is digging for himself and all his corrupt buddies.
Mueller is likely going to be indicted for his role in Uranium One. One should also remember that Comey met with Mueller just before the last time Comey appeared before Congress.
The hatred drips from every sentence.
LOL! You mean like Hillary and the Clinton Foundation?
Uranium One?
Bill's rape of Juanita Broderick?
Lois Lerner's refusal to allow conservative non-profits?
Selling guns to Mexican drug cartels?
Letting the American Ambassador to Libya be murdered WITHOUT sending in available and ready reinforcements?
Allowing a non-Natural born citizen become President?
Murdering Seth Rich?
JUST TO NAME A FEW!
They don't have to come up with material incriminating Trump. Just make the public so convinced he is guilty of something, they will want him out.
That was a pretty fancy dinner at the WH. Anybody know why at the entrance, the two guards on either side of the door when Trump and Melania entered were holding white masks or handkerchiefs over their noses and mouths?
Enough talk. Make your move Snowflakes.
Exactly.
"DON'T YOU DARE FIRE MUELLER!!! CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS IF TRUMP FIRES MUELLER!!! THE PRESIDENT WILL CROSS A RED LINE IF MUELLER IS FIRED!!!"
"psst. Why haven't you fired Mueller yet?"
But not to worry, to fair minded people the whole investigation will be considered to be the witch hunt that it truly is. The dead-ender democrats will be mad at Mueller, which will be some small satisfaction. They'll claim that he is a Republican and in the bag for Trump the whole time.
I read the source, then blah, blah, blah...
Gotta keep the Indians stirred up, dontcha know.
“Here’s how it could work:

Not if the US marshals seize it all first.
I wonder if these people are fapping while they write this drivel. It’s really pathetic.
Justice? Dept of justice? Most would settle for 10% justice out of the existing cabal.
Shut em down now.
