Trump Attorney Won't Rule Out Firing Mueller
Politico ^ | June 11, 2017

Posted on 06/11/2017 9:03:49 AM PDT by Helicondelta

One of President Donald Trump’s attorneys on Sunday wouldn't rule out the possibility the president would fire the special counsel appointed to look into his campaign’s potential ties to Russia.

“Look, the president of the United States, as we all know, is a unitary executive,” Sekulow said on ABC’s “This Week.” “But the president is going to seek the advice of his counsel and inside the government as well as outside. And I'm not going to speculate on what he will, or will not, do.”

Unnecessarily defensive and contentious reply. Why?

So Comey delayed his appearance before the Senate so he could collaborate with the guy appointed to investigate the President who fired him. It just screams impropriety yet no one said a word against it. Not even the GOP Senators who knew Trump was not under investigation 4 months ago. I just loath these bastards.

He makes an excellent addition to the Trump legal team. He totally gets what’s going on. He pulls no punches and like Trump, he tells it like it is. Very smart guy.

Bob Mueller thinks he is cute. But Trump is smarter...he has set a trap for Mueller to fail in, that the entire American people will witness!!! Mueller will fall over backward trying to bring Trump down and protect his low life, evil, vindictive, friend...Loser, James Comey. Mueller will soon learn the lesson, that he really has no friends in his corner, when he pulls the same idiot stunts that Comey pulled!!!

Poor Mueller has been set up to fail and the fool Mueller has fallen for it hook, line & sinker!!! WATCH!!! Clinton, Obama, Comey, Mueller, the entire Democrat Party....dummies!!! If Mueller had any inkling of a brain, he would step down and wash his hands of this bogus undertaking!!!

Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse points out that a ton of people in government, including many many Republicans, knew that Comey had said that Trump was not under investigation and they said NOTHING. He also said that we can’t forget that 90% of D.C. voted for Hillary.

Mueller has a conflict of interest because of his personal relationship with Comey. Comey is a fact witness and should be a target of the Special Counsel because of his leaks and other misconduct. Furthermore, Comey admitted in his testimony he played a critical role in getting his friend Mueller appointed as Special Counsel.

Rosenstein needs to ask Mueller to explain publicly why he has not resigned in light of this conflict of interest.

Trump’s lawyers should file a complaint with the DC Office of Disciplinary Counsel and with the DOJ because of Mueller’s confict of interest.

Yes, you’re right so how is it that of all the people to be
appointed we got Mueller? And Comey leaked the memo so he would get the job, how did he know?

Mueller should never have been appointed, and should have been fired yesterday.

Sessions took the high road although not perhaps the best road and stepped away from the Russia myth for just the potential appearance of a conflict.

Mueller is up to his eyeballs in conflict and not stepping down indicates he is just a crooked hack like his bud Comey the deceitful.

Gotta wonder what the media will choose to cover if the N Koreans set off a nuke somewhere?

“Rosenstein needs to ask Mueller to explain”

Rosenstein picked Mueller out of the blue, it took everyone by surprise.The White House was given one hours notice. I
believe Rosenstein was a Bush guy, so he is likely a never Trumper.

I think Jay is just fed up with how this President is being treated and how far many will go to force him out of the Presidency.
