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.

‘POTUS Ought to Have Confidence in him’

This just has to be a joke, right?

“Rush constantly pointed out that Obama complained endlessly about HIS government as if he were on the outside looking in. Trump has the same tendency, doesn’t he?”

Obama didn’t admit that people in his Admin did anything wrong. He would say that he was going to investigate it.

“The President should have an attack dog hounding the DOJ instead of doing it himself.”

Every conservative in Congress needs to go on the attack in defense of the President. He is the only hope we have in turning the good ship America back on course. Considering the good he has already done, and that which is on his agenda, the Trump should be the largest and most effective promoters of a president in history.

These cowards need to either step down or swing from a lampost.

I can’t think of any republican elected official who will stand by Trump in his fight against the swamp monsters.

What we are witnessing is the meltdown of the Deep State and Washington bureaucrats who are “too” comfortable as their narrative is being destroyed. I called and wrote my Congressman today and called for the impeachment of RR and firing of Mueller. Their wiggle room is now gone.

Wake up and smell the napalm... scorched earth has already arrived.

This not fighting back thing has been proven ad nauseam not to be an effective strategy.

The enemy does not fear us. Until they do their relentless depredations will continue. They should be given real reason to fear.

It has everything.

People here keep talking of this stuff like it is just some goofy TV show, when these people get away with it because they know no one back home in any numbers will say a thing. Because conservatives have a nasty habit of never showing we have real numbers to display in public and scare these people we send to DC into doing their jobs, but will complain all day and night online that Trump needs to “just do XYZ”, as if it is that easy, to make the problem go away, as if his abilities are unlimited, and our role is just to critique and comment. And beyond that, we just go about our day.

A Dem would never say this about a Dem investigation. Remember the demonizing of the Benghazi investigation?

Well I wish you’d share the information you base this on. The DS is going to go? Based on what evidence? Looks like they are just gathering steam and stripping away all of Trumps support and defenses and in the process his popular support. People are waking up to the fact that no matter who is ‘elected’, the DS is and always will be in control. Again, if you have any knowledge to counter this, please share. Just wishing it doesn’t count.

You nailed it!

Fire Muller and the rest of the lot because until that happens everyone is compromised - Judges, politicians, reporters, name it.

Trump needs to be woke to the threat. What the heck is he waiting for? He is smart but he is slow playing this into a losing hand. He needs to go “all in” now!

So it just goes on and on until Mueller says he’s done? Bull. He’s getting paid by the hour. Why would it end?

Why should anyone have any confidence in Mueller, Rosenstein or any of the other swamp dwellers?!

The Swamp Dwellers of both parties have confidence in each other and protect each other.

Did you ever hear democrat Swamp Dwellers advising Obama on what he could and could not do?

Did you ever hear them issue a serious warning to Obama not to pusue a specific coures of action the way republicans do to president Trump?

Heck no!

Because the first loyalty for most republicans is not to the nation, or even to the party - it is to The Swamp and their fellow Swamp Dwellers.

Want this to stop Mr. President? Force Sessions to bring charges against Obama, Hilliary, the Clinton Foundation, Lerner, Lynch, Holder, Rice.

Or expect for the witch hunt to continue until you’re impeached.
