Mueller was appointed because Sessions and Rosenstein provided clear documentation to support the firing of James Comey, only to have Donald Trump get on TV a couple of days later and shoot his mouth off. He told Lester Holt of NBC that he was going to fire Comey regardless of what Sessions and Rosenstein said ... which put both his AG and Deputy AG in a compromised position as potential co-conspirators in an effort to fire the FBI director under false pretenses.
What most people don't seem to realize is that even if Sessions had not recused himself over the Russia nonsense, this chain of events would have forced HIM -- not Rosenstein -- to name a special counsel over the matter in early May.
If President Trump really wants to blame someone for how he and his family ended up in this mess, he should just look in the mirror.
Chain of events would force Sessions to do anything only if he was gutless enough to submit.
“which put both his AG and Deputy AG in a compromised position as potential co-conspirators in an effort to fire the FBI director under false pretenses.”
Total nonsense — Trump had the Constitutional right to fire Mueller for any reason or no reason and does not have to justify his firing under any circumstance. You have been listening too much to the MSM and democrats.
