A close friend of President Trump said on Monday that the President is considering firing Robert Mueller, the special counsel who is leading the federal investigation into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax Media and a longtime Trump friend, told PBS's Judy Woodruff that Trump is weighing whether to fire Mueller.
"I think he's considering perhaps terminating the special counsel. I think he's weighing that option," Ruddy said on PBS NewsHour.

Trump supporters might "tolerate" or "accept" Mueller, once they see how thin his scope of investigation is.
Rightfully so! The "masters of the universe" like it that way.
Immunity is the key here. Did Mueller give immunity to Comey? How can anyone know. Comey gave immunity to all of clinton’s conspirators and withheld that fact from everyone for months. That was a crime in itself. Comey & lynch had to conspire to give immunity to all witnesses against Hillary. Why is that so hard to understand?
Sessions needs to step up today. He needs to talk about whatever was found in comey’s FBI computer and office. No priviledge for Comey.
Great link. This should be viral.Mueller is linked to russians and becomes a SC??? Who thought that up/
I haven’t heard anything about Ruddy in years - guess because I don’t go to News Max....Heard from him a lot during the Clinton years..didn’t know he was still around.
Yeah...it sure appears to be a lynch mob and no one seems ready to help Trump fight off the commie scum....!
Interesting possibility in the lamecherry link. Thanks for the ping; post.
Comey, as an investigator,legally doesn't have the authority to give immunity, only the Attny. General has that authority.
Since this is a conspiracy to hide criminality, it is a punishable crime itself. Given the high authority of the various actors, it should be handled under RICO.
This seems to be a case of circuitous litigation, it appears to be a legal 'daisey-chain' of liability - and yet many Americans don't believe the depth of the "Deep State".
The "Deep State" is alive and well within the Judiciary and within Congress - don't believe me ..
just look at McCain's recent comments to foreign leaders, or view the litigation on the President's Travel Ban,
or the abject resistance of Congress to confirm Trump's nominees, in order for his Presidential agenda to move forward,
or view the ongoing media's mantra about a non-existent connection between the President and Russia, versus the criminal conspiracy of Lynch/Comey/Clinton.
The news media is fixated on fiction, while ignoring reality and already exposed criminality.
Oh...and don't forget McPain... Maybe a little pressure there might make a lot of Trump's problems just go away....
“I think he’s considering perhaps terminating the special counsel”
“Think,” “considering,” “perhaps”...
This does not sound very definitive to me...
Same here. I’ve seen him criticized and denounced lately and looked around a little.
His comments on CNN were plainly self-serving.
Money...?
I will NEVER believe it was a simple case of Potomac Fever —impossible.
What exactly do you believe is the usual etiology of "Potomac Fever" if not the aforementioned two causes?
There's nothing very mysterious about it. The two you mentioned are the root causes every time a seemingly rock solid politico all of a sudden flips when he ventures inside the beltway.
Every. Single. Time.
Yeah...it sure appears to be a lynch mob and no one seems ready to help Trump fight off the commie scum....!

And, I just heard that the stupid Rosenstein was just up on the Hill bragging that he is the only man in government who can fire Mueller. It looks like Rosenstein is a traitor and Sessions is to blame for Rosenstein. Trump needs to fire Sessions and Rosenstein for stupidity and then give the boot to Mueller.
I stand corrected. I was thinking about when the committee passed the Articles and sent them back up to the full House.
I’m sorry, but for those who lived through Watergate, and saw the High Crimes and Misdemeanors Mr. Nixon committed, and who were Conservatives that lauded him for all he did, it was one of the disheartening times of our lives.
As I told clients for years, it’s rarely the crime, but rather the cover-up. Nixon was most certainly guilty of that.
It’s a shame, because of all he could do, did do, and planned to do, but he brought it all on himself.
I knew Nixon later in life. He was a smart man, a brilliant
Constitutional attorney, but like all of us, (but in his case, to much too large a degree,) he was a flawed man.
Wow. YOU ARE ALL gloom and doom.
No conservative and on the board for a year?
Were you ever conservative?
