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.”

“Sekulow said he “can’t imagine” the issue would arise...”

Why is it that Trump evidently can’t find a spokesman that knows how to keep his editorial comments to himself.

Just why, pray tell, can he not imagine firing Mueller, considering what we know about his arbitrary hiring, what Comey said, etc.?

“Everyone who is anyone in Washington DC knew all along that Trump was not under investigation.”

But what does that even mean in an FBI where “investigation” is interchangeable with “matter.” Things are only what they say they are at any given time.

The incompetent career bureaucrat dirtbag that should be fired is the moron that appointed a special counsel when there was absolutely no reason to do so, rod rosenstein. If he and sessions want to leave wont disappoint me. Then we can put in an aggressive AG like Guiliani or Christie.

defensive and contentious reply

Not even a little bit.

It's a simple statement of fact.

“...Mueller deserves to be fired but it would be a PR disaster for the President ...”

This is true; however at this point it is more important for Mueller to be gone than to be frightened off by the negative spin that will result. All stories by the enemedia concerning the President are already 100% negative anyway so no matter what is done it is given a bad spin so no sense allowing that to stop the firing before the deep state via Mueller can try to do real damage. (so far everything has been fake damage)

The poison coming from the swamp is so toxic that the President must have the courage to withstand the PR firestorm and get Mueller to quit the investigation on his own or fire him if he won’t.

Yes, how did Comey know? Let’s ask the guy who hired Mueller- who was the same guy who recommended firing Comey. Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General to who the Dir. of the FBI is a direct report in the chain of command.

Note that both Rosenstein and McCabe refused to answer questions in deference to the Special Counsel (the one Rosenstein hired). How nice and tight.

Is it possible Rosenstein set up Mueller for firing, just like Comey? OR is Rosenstein part of the Mueller-Comey-Clinton-Lynch group? Makes me wonder about the whole bunch in DC!

McCabe is still acting Director— he needs to go also. So, the order of events is... Mueller drones on with “plodder” speed.

The new FBI Director is approved (given all this this will take time as well if it is ever allowed to happen, cause the dhimmis need McCabe-Mcaulliffe/clinton’s bag man guv of VA still in place to leak to them, and believe he is a leaker also, very furtive dude).

Mueller concludes no “there, there” and concludes.
Rosenstein is ordered by Sessions to fire McCabe, and does. Then Rosenstein is fired and replaced by someone seriously hard a@@.

Or, Sessions “un-recuses” himself since it is clear that there never was a suspicion of trump or himself in regards to Russia (despite the attempts that will try to be made this Tuesday wherever Sessions is testifying). Un recuses and demands to see everything. Then the indictments begin.
And the firings— yes the firings. And the re-org of the 9th Circuit into 2 or 3 circuits (help the Westerners get free of the Frisco faggots).

Right there are very good justifications to fire Mueller even more so now.

- No credible evidence of crimes

- New York Times false news reporting

- Comey’s dubious memo that appears to be missing or deleted, or a lie

- Comey’s Columbia buddy who supposedly leaked Comey’s “memo” to the New York Slime goes into hiding

- Comey’s contradictory testimony before the Senate and being self-incriminatory, along with stating he was an anonymous government leaker through a third party

- And he admits that he was angling to get a special counsel appointed to investigate Trump while he stated in closed congressional sessions since January that Trump was not being investigated. And on and on... .

On further note, I think Rosenstein only appointed a special counsel to investigate Trump because he fell for, or used as cover, the BS news reporting. And especially because he recommended that weasel Comey to be fired.

Hiring Mueller was to keep his DC beltway ‘even player reputation’ intact so he wanted to balance it out even though he likely understood there was no credible evidence against Trump.

The only thing keeping Trump from firing Mueller right now is that he wants the American public to understand that he is completely correct it being a dumb and a political witch hunt.

That's an interesting thought. I could almost swear I read Rosenstein say there was no real evidence to do an investigation against Trump a week or two before his 180 degrees turn around when he hired Mueller.

Rosenstein is another holdover conspiring with Comey and Mueller. How else could Comey have “known” so precisely what would happen?

“McCabe is still acting Director”

That’s another thing it’s well known what a Rat snake McCabe is. What happened to the interim Director thing? McCabe was on good behavior because he wanted the Director job. So now we have a bitter Rat who hates Trump sitting in the Directors chair. We know now Mueller was put in under a false premise there must be a way to use that to get him out of there. I just don’t know how because if you think it’s bad now the absolute firestorm that is going to happen if just fires Mueller is hard to contemplate. Rosenstein knew too and but still used the false narrative to bring in Mueller do he needs to go too.

"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 thought I read that Rosenstein might recuse himself, leaving Mueller with no boss and no accountability.

Well if he does you can bet it was always part of the plan.
