If Trump fires Mueller or Sessions, the house will truly try to impeach him. All of the dems, and probably 40 republicans, will vote in favor of it. They hate him that much.
Congress is the answer, though. Congress needs to call for the firing of Mueller, and if that fails, call for the resignation of Sessions. If Congress gets loud enough, Sessions will do it. Then Trump can appoint any of his cabinet to fill the AG position until the Senate approves a replacement.
Very possible, unfortunately. His way around that would be to loudly support Nunes and the Intelligence oversight committee in Congress holding Sessions and the DoJ in contempt.
If he wants to fire somebody right now, he should be looking at his lawyer Ty Cobb, who has instituted this rope a dope plan of taking punch after punch from Mueller, without ever actually retaliating in some manner as Bannon has repeatedly advised.
Hire private detectives through cutouts to find dirt on Mueller and leak it to the press. Undercut his “moral authority” and get him to step down. As my late mother used to say, “ Two can play that game.”
“If Trump fires Mueller or Sessions, the house will truly try to impeach him.”
While the Dims will go nuts, along with a bunch of Republicans in the Senate, there will be no Impeachment vote on the floor of the House.
Every Republican in the House is up for election within a year and it would be SUICIDE.
