So why didn't President Trump fire Mueller then? Mueller's scope of the investigation wasn't expressly limited to the Collusion allegations made as we've seen with the indictment of Manafort, plea agreement with Flynn and others. Mueller clearly went where ever he wanted.
So why didn't Trump fire him? Because Trump had nothing to hide and he knew it. There's a certain genius in Trump letting this play all the way out with the very guy the Democrats wanted, then demanded he be allowed to finish the investigation witch hunt only to come up empty on him.
It exposed the batshit crazyness of the Democrat party, flushed out some of the deep state, exposed the politicization of the FBI and more.
So maybe Rosenstein "flips" on the FBI leadership that allowed all this b.s. to happen, or maybe Rosenstein's remained silent himself letting it all play out to expose the corrupt FBI leadership. I think time's gonna tell on this specific piece of this whole f'n fiasco.
Trump appointed RoselWeasel based on some bad advice from a closet never-Trumper.
Once RosenWeasel appointed his mentor to the position, the die was cast. Trump was hamstrung and not inclined to ham-fisted actions. Trump had to let it play out until he could actually find and get a competent AG installed.
You’re right about one thing: Trump is a genius.
