GOP Sen Grassley: ‘It Would Be Suicide’ to Fire Mueller – ‘POTUS Ought to Have Confidence in him’
Breitbart ^ | 4/10/2018 | Ian Hatchett

Posted on 04/10/2018 10:13:14 AM PDT by lodi90

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) stated it “would be suicide” to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller and President Trump should have “confidence” in Mueller.

Grassley said, “I have confidence in Mueller. The president ought to have confidence in Mueller. And I think…it would be suicide for the president to want, to talk about firing Mueller. The less the president said on this whole thing, the better off he would be, the stronger his presidency would be.”

Grassley also praised Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ work and argued the president shouldn’t put the Senate through another confirmation battle.

Grassley has always been a spineless weenie. He likes to play both sides. He’s one of those who will be in office until he croaks. He’s already about 106 years old. He and Ernst are 2 reasons why I’m not keen on being in Iowa.

Mueller put 4 men in jail for a year, 2 died in jail. Their “conviction” was then overturned ... it was Mueller’s prosecution.

I supported Trump. You don’t know anything about this. Keep being a cheerleader.

You're not a very good thinker. I said "Sorry your candidate lost"

Try reading that sentence carefully. I know it's hard for you, but give it some thought.

“This exchange has gone on long past the productive stage. The GOP is the Uniparty. They would be happy to see the Democrats win big in November. It would mean a return to business as usual in DC. That’s all they want. Win-win for the Uniparty.”

But you want Mueller to remain in charge of the probe when he represents the Uniparty.

I don’t see what you see. What I see is that you are jaded by the media.

LOL! I’m the moron?

You are assuming by my saying “Sorry your candidate lost” that I mean “your candidate” is someone other than Trump, as opposed to your dream of what Trump was to be for you.

Poor soul.

I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.

It is indeed sad that this powerful weapon has been placed in the hands of the corrupt. I am afraid for us all.

Grassley can take his confidence in Mueller and shove it.

How can you not see what is happening? Liberals are winning elections everywhere- even in conservative area. Why? Not because conservatives are turning liberal, but conservatives are dispirited and checking out of the political system. They see that even by winning they lose, so want no part of it. Liberals and the DS are more emboldened and motivated than ever before. Not sure how you can’t see that plus the news every day. So this raid is because the deep state is losing and going down, huh? While trump and republicans are powerless to stop it? Yes, but ANY DAY NOW the hammer will drop and the DS will be defeated. Yes, any day now....

I like Grassley. But here he is wrong. Silly to say it would be suicide.

You have veered into troll territory. You’re trying to rehash what we’ve already discussed ad nauseam, and you’re misrepresenting my position at the same time. That is full on trollery.

If you are that dispirited then why don’t you just leave? Even if I told you what I know is going on you couldn’t grasp it.

Oh enough with the secret agent BS. You’re not going to tell me or anyone what is going on because there is nothing to tell. I’m supposed to believe you have some top secret classified info that no one else has? I really would like to have some of what you’re smoking, bough. It obviously helps one avoid reality and who wouldn’t like to do that nowadays?
