Chris Ruddy: President Trump Is Considering Firing Special Counsel Robert Mueller

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.

“Another one of Trump’s mistakes trusting the Establishment.”

Trump appointed Rod Rosenstein Deputy Attorney General. Rosenstein has been a member of the DOJ bureaucracy since 1990. Rosenstein appointed Mueller to be a special prosecutor in the alleged Russian election controversy even though there was no evidence any crime had been committed.

Perhaps Trump’s mistake was in choosing a swamp creature to be #2 at the Department of Justice.

Trump must be laughing his butt off over this sort of story.

All the while, the press is putting a spotlight on Mueller's bias.

He should fire Mueller and the dumb bastard who appointed him.

This the investigation without announced crime. Pure fishing expedition. I say just pardon everyone, including himself, of anything related, and get this over with.

That said, Mueller is compromised, knows it, and should recuse himself or be fired.

Can Rosenstein recuse Mueller?

After Comeys testimony, I am confused as to what Mueller is investigating. There is no need for him, so yes, fire him.

Waste of tax payer resources. Let the left scream, they need to lose weight anyway. Comey’s testimony eliminated the reason he was appointed, terminate him.

Mueller is all is wrong with America at this stagw. Bunch of litigators trying to rule the world.

Damn if Trump goes ahead with Mueller making his job impossible and moot, damn if he fires him and they protest.

Trump has Constitutional authority, so they can all eat a dck.

And the reports today have him considering more Democrat and GOPe types if he replaces his current GOPe-type chief of staff.

Somehow, he doesn’t seem to be learning on this critical count.

“Ain’t gonna happen. The D.C. establishment is baiting Trump to do this, and it’s the absolute worst thing he could do. “

No matter what he does it’s “the worst thing he could do.” Meuller should never have been appointed! FIRE HIM! He will only do damage because he hates Trump. GET RID OF HIM and let the leftists scream. So What!

They will do it anyway!

“Since CORRUPT MUELLER is hiring ALL DEMOCRAT DONORS for Attorneys, I say....FIRE HIS ASS, President Trump...ASAP!!”

JMO - Rosenstein needs to fire Mueller. He hired him, he needs to fire him.

This is going to be devastating politically for the President if he has to do this.
