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.

Speier is the one that demanded that the Awans get top secret clearance. I think that she will have her own problems before too long.

I agree. No way is Trump going to fire Mueller just as his case is winding down; or at least should be.

Trump and Sessions should have a heart to heart about the future though. Sometime after Jan 20th; Sessions should resign but offered another position in the cabinet... possibly as an advisor/consultant.

The commie ape, Jackie Speier, ought to be more worried about being arrested for treason, found guilty and hanged.

“Mueller is a great thing for Trump. Firing him would just start the whole witch hunt all over.”

That is the most cogent statement I’ve read all day.

You get sergeantdave’s best and most best FR’s post of the day.

Consitutinal crises are good things. Lack of them is what shows collusion.

Us sergeants keep the military machine rolling in the right direction. The deep state fascists fear us...for good reason.

Now that I think about it Holder does connect. He told the Uranium One informant not to talk to Congress.

He should explain the case against Mueller in a prime time address,to inform America.

Then, ask Mueller to voluntarily resign. Put the pressure on HIM!

Let’s hope and pray that they do resign. It’s the best way. I am sure that there is a ton of stuff hiding in their closets that the public couldn’t accept too. If PDT gets rid of them the Congress, if it can, will try to use it as a reason to take Trump down, or at least try. The media will positively scream.
