WASHINGTON — President Trump ordered the firing last June of Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation, according to four people told of the matter, but ultimately backed down after the White House counsel threatened to resign rather than carry out the directive.
The West Wing confrontation marks the first time Mr. Trump is known to have tried to fire the special counsel. Mr. Mueller learned about the episode in recent months as his investigators interviewed current and former senior White House officials in his inquiry into whether the president obstructed justice.
Amid the first wave of news media reports that Mr. Mueller was examining a possible obstruction case, the president began to argue that Mr. Mueller had three conflicts of interest that disqualified him from overseeing the investigation, two of the people said.

Because they know....
It IS over and somebody is going to pay... just NOT hillary or the socialist elites that lick George Soros toes.
Probably a list of scapegoats and human firewalls... will be on the block for next 25 years... by then, this will all be over.
What rabblerousing stooges.

Tomorrow, you’ll see all of the morning shows leading with this story. They want the three words, “Trump, Mueller, fire”, firmly planted in people’s mind. Rinse, repeat. It’s a brainwashing technique Joseph Goebbels knew well.
Oh my, wiretapping everywhere, bugs in the walls bombs in the WH plants and the press can only come up with made up stories.
Boy I hope the NYT is the paper to be raided soon for treason, like Newsweek two weeks ago.
Strategic disinformation. stimulus —> Response.
Watch what happens now.
If you ask me, McVeigh parked his Ryder in front of the wrong building.
The NYT has been asking for it since the Civil War, agitated against a peaceful solution after Secession and for conquest of the south, as well as freeing the slaves and then not repatriating them back to where they came from.
In short,responsible for the murder of millions of Americans by the Federal government and by the descendants of freed slaves, and our coming third world status.
A 150 year record of relentless smear attacks and propaganda against real Americans.
Not content with THAT damage, they CONTINUE THE ASSAULT!!.
ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The four sources were 4 reporters sitting in a room making this story up.
i agree 100%
I agree so much. WE are on the cliff. We are losing our country. It may be too late without a game changer from Trump who must NOW take the presidential powers — clean out that crappy white house and TAKE POWER THAT WE GAVE HIM. I am in prayers to our GOD.
Didn’t we all assume this was the case ? We knew he was contemplating firing Comey, but was dissuaded by his lawyers. This is not news.
We should start a pool as to who the news two news outlets will be to be raided by the FEDS for treason, like News Week, gee no one is even talking about that it’s like really hush hush.
Leaks are resuming, now we see even the lawyers for Trump, at some point leaking.
His infrastructure plan.
His lawyers threat.
His DACA plan.
just read the opposite of what the times says and it’s probably closer to the truth.
He should do it in his interview, just walk in, sit down, go under oath, then before he can be asked a question, say your fired, then walk out
He can say he testified under oath just like he promised
If I was him, I would laugh at him on my way out of the room.
Sure, Jan.
Even FoxNews is reporting this #FakeNews.
(((YAWN))) How much did President Trump weigh when he “ordered” little Bobby to fired?
Folks.....this is known as a death rattle in the investigative biz. Mueller is out of bullets and he’s down to his bayonet.
The Slimes has had this story for a long time. If they even was a discussion it was 7 months ago!
Frankly, it’s not very incriminating. Might hold up in the news cycle for a day or two.
Very desperate. And yes, the idiots editors at Fox will run with any story to make the needle jump a little. You’ve got to print SOMETHING if you’re gonna get paid...right???
Now this Fakery is a Drudge headline.
Hey Matt - Give it up. Someday the world will know what they blackmailed you with.
