Trump needs to clean up the “deep state” which includes the FBI and our whole intelligence community - then let them do what they do best - go after the REAL bad guys. Don’t need an extra-constitutional, conflicted-interest, convoluted “special prosecutor” to do that. Clean up the FBI and then have at it.
Watching a Russian coverage of this story on Ren-TV (right-wing conspiracy TV-channel in Russia) right now. That’s a comic relief for them. In between dipping Russian Communists into crap they are comparing Trump-Mueller to Khruschev-Beria at the time.
I agree. However, if he named a replacement for Rosenstein, Senate Dems would try to get the nominee to promise not to go after their friends or fire Mueller. Republicans could vote to confirm anyway, but an “R” by the name does not guarantee much.
