You idiots dug that grave yourself. You go deal with it.

You nailed it. They need an exit strategy.

[Robert357]

I have never heard more weasel worded, might have, possibly, presumably, maybe,.......

That is not news reporting that is speculating at its worst.

[Chewbarkah]

If Trump or Putin paid these Leftists, they couldn’t do a better job of keeping their loyal loons busy than crying wolf over this pathetic “firing Mueller” meme. It’s an issue completely under Trump’s control. Mueller has nothing. Rosenstein has stated publicly that Trump is not even a target of the investigation. More details about the origins of the anti-Trump conspiracy surface every day; inexorably the full corruption of Hillary Clinton’s dirty tricks squads will be made visible to all.

These reporters are simply desperate and it shows. Here’s an equivalent scenario to their idiocy:

Mueller has interviewed a lot of people.
Therefore, he may have proof that John N. Tye and Mark S. Zaid are serial killing child molester cannibals. Or not, but PRESUMABLY he does, because fantasy and presumption of guilt are the new legal standards.
Were they to be charged and even prosecuted for crimes we have zero evidence that they committed, Hillary might pardon them after becoming President, if Trump resigns and Mike Pence picks her as his VP then resigns too. Let’s organize mass riots just in case.

Exit Strategy.

These clowns are so stupid, they think this is a viable Exit Strategy....

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic Party filed suit against Russia, President Donald Trump’s campaign and WikiLeaks on Friday, charging that they conspired to disrupt the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign, a court filing showed. The party alleges in the federal lawsuit in Manhattan that top Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and tilt the election to Trump by hacking Democratic Party computers, the filing showed.

He already qualifies.

These people are mentally ill.

“but it’s not hard to imagine: President Trump, growing tired of the Russia investigation as it closes in on him”

On what basis can anyone assume Mueller “closes in on him”?? NONE.

[DesertRhino]

“fires Robert S. Mueller III and moves to dismantle the Office of Special Counsel. This would be a serious assault on the rule of law in the United States. The ability of the Department of Justice to enforce the laws would be in grave doubt. “

Laughable. The DOJ is not supposed to be independent OR stand in judgement of the Presidency. It is not an assault upon the rule of law because at any time a President strays out of ethical bounds, Congress can remove him from office as quickly as needed.

It’s a far better system than setting up the DOJ a as 4th branch of government, independent of Congress and the Executive branch.

more woof from the times.

As the old saying goes:
The dogs bark, but the train rolls on...

[Paladin2]

These gerbilists need to be committed. Immediately.

[Wildbill22]

Frankly I wish Trump would fire Mueller.

I want to see liberal heads explode and laugh as they jump the shark like they did after the election. That sort of hyperventilating could not possibly be good for democrat voter turnout for the mid terms.

And trump can do it legally,,, unless Mueller wants to show some evidence...

[kjam22]

At the rate documents get turned over to congress trump would be done with his second term....

[I am Richard Brandon]

Why doesn’t Congress grab a NYT reporter and ask them where they got the info from. Oh right, the protected darlings of the press will refuse to answer. Put them in jail, lock the door and wait until they beg to answer.

[Interesting Times]

We hope that such a constitutional crisis is unlikely.

Sure you do.

[eastexsteve]

This would be a serious assault on the rule of law in the United States.

Bullsh!t. The "rule of law" gives Trump the power to do exactly this.

They could become lawful whistle-blowers.

Yes, they could. But then, they would have to show they had standing to pursue the suit, and the defendants (Trump team) would have the immediate right to enter into discovery and rake them over the coals in depositions and requests for information in order to immediately find out if they really have anything or not. And, the Mueller fishing expedition would be over.

So FIRE Mueller!

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Hah!!!

[grumpygresh]

“By now, Mr. Mueller has presumably amassed a great deal of evidence, some of which is highly classified, that may point toward serious crimes.”

What a joke. If they had anything, it would have been leaked a long time ago, classified or not.

[Libloather]

Americans might reasonably wonder whether perpetrators, if they exist, would ever face justice.

Like Hillary?

[chesley]

Yes, we are going to stick with him. But, as Hillary keeps pointing out, the majority of the population voted for her. Thank God for the Electoral College! So we are the minority, already

And then, we got a lot of “independents”, who are, by definition wishy-washy in their thinking.

Makes us far less numerous. Still, I have hope.

"It’s a nightmare scenario, but it’s not hard to imagine: President Trump, growing tired of the Russia investigation as it closes in on him, fires Robert S. Mueller III and moves to dismantle the Office of Special Counsel."

No, a nightmare scenario would be TRUMP growing tired of the Russia investigation and QUITTING. Now, that's a nightmare!!
