Rep. Speier: ‘Rumor on the Hill’ is Trump to Fire Mueller Before Christmas
KQED ^ | 16 Dec 2017

Posted on 12/16/2017 2:47:56 PM PST by mandaladon

Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-San Mateo) told KQED Newsroom on Friday that she believes Republicans are trying to shut down the House Intelligence Committee’s probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

Speier also said, “The rumor on the Hill when I left yesterday was that the president was going to make a significant speech at the end of next week. And on Dec. 22nd, when we are out of D.C., he was going to fire Robert Mueller.”

If this were to happen, Speier said, it would cause a constitutional crisis. “That is Saturday massacre 2.0,” she said. “Without a doubt there would be an impeachment effort.”

Fellow representative, Adam Schiff, had the same concerns.

Schiff says that no witnesses have been scheduled after next Friday, and that dozens of outstanding witnesses have not been contacted. He tweeted that there will be interviews next week, but they will be held out of state while important votes will be keeping members of Congress in Washington D.C.

In other news, its rumored that Speaker Paul Ryan is planning to leave instead of facing the wrath of voters next year.

That’s probably much more real news than this story.

The libs are hoping that this is true. They know that Mueller has come up with nothing, and by firing him, he would instantly become a martyr.

This POS Democrat, like Schiff, do nothing but try to stir the waters with rumor and innuendo. What they accomplish is to have people constantly hear false negatives about President Trump which are hyped by the corrupt media.

“Rumor”, that and $3.00 might buy you a Starbucks coffee.

Just like political “polls”, I’ll believe it when I see it.

“...firing Mueller would only serve the interests of the impeachment crowd...”

Exactly. President Trump will not fire Mueller - if anything happens next week, Mueller will be closing the investigation.

Agreed.

With each passing day, Mueller becomes more crippled and his "investigation" more obviously corrupt and flawed.

If this keeps up, it will be easy for Trump to point that out to the public as he pardons everyone caught up in this dog and pony show.

Oh well if we are talking sheer rumors, then I am pretty sure someone somewhere said (e.g., me to my wife) that Spiers is heading home on break and will NOT return to DC (sarc).

Someone on FNC pointed out that during Donald Trump, Jr.,'s testimony the other day, CNN kept getting leaks from the non-public hearings...which seemed to correspond to the times Adam Schiff left the hearings for a bathroom break.

The constitutional crisis is having a President weaponize the IRS, the FBI, and the CIA to use against political opponents and to try to prevent the other party from winning the Presidential election. It worked for him in 2012 but not for his chosen successor in 2016.

But no one wants to talk about Obama's culpability in all of this.

Yes, they're scared and desperate, knowing the house of cards is about to collapse on the FBI.

They warn about a Mueller firing being grounds for impeachment, but I'll bet most of America doesn't know what's been going on.

It's the worst political sabotage this country has ever seen....worse than the IRS. Weaponizing the government against its citizens because of political beliefs is beyond words. This is worse, as it targeted a presidential opponent and then President. Treason.

A bully pulpit, exposing Deep State would wake and scare the crap out of millions.

American Thinker has a story "Stranger Things and the Deep State", Author recounts the story how National Security Director Mike Rogers made an unexpected visit to Trump Towers shortly after the election. The next week the Trump transition team moved to his New Jersey Trump National. The theory is Rogers knew what was being plotted, snooped, spied, planned. In other words, Trump KNOWS and is a couple steps ahead. Maybe that's why he doesn't appear to be worried.

“Rep. Speier: ‘Rumor on the Hill’ is Trump to Fire Mueller Before Christmas”

I wonder if that’s the only “rumor” on the Hill, or is it just one of about a half a gazillion “rumors” floating around on the Hill ALL the time? And is there anything in particular to about this particular “rumor” that might make any more valid that the other half a gazillion “rumors”?

Libs will go nuts if this happens... and bark at the moon.

The Next Full moon is a Full Wolf moon on 1 Jan 2018. Just in time for the liberals to go Full Wolf Moon Crazy after Trump destroys their dreams of removing him. We will be able to hear the snowflakes from coast to coast howling at the Full Wolf Moon!

Eric Holder is corrupt but so far he’s not been tied to the Comey scandal. All those others have bee to some degree.
