If he could have fired Mueller he would have

by this time.

IMO there exists a legal equivalent of a Doomsday Device which prevents the dismissal. This might involve the immediate execution of NY or MD state charges which are pending against his entire family and extended family with the possible exception of Tiffany, whose mother wisely kept her away from her father.

This is why he’s chafing and going (even more) insane (if that’s possible).

This is my theory which belongs to me and is mine too. (With apologies to the Monty Python group)

1. Sure hope youre right! Do you suppose Team Mueller

anticipated what the cons might do and war-gamed out their response? I have a feeling the NYAG is salivating to get this despicable bunch in a courtroom! K&R

[PCIntern]

2. Yep.

They are very smart people who know exactly what’s going on and what the ramifications of failure are.

3. I hope you are right but I do disagree that he's not still going after

Mueller. I think he is but has gone down the sack Rosenstein route, to strangle Mueller's investigation.

[PCIntern]

4. I understand but

I think he’d have fabricated some ridiculous story and just done the deed. He requires no logical rationale imo. But your point is taken.

[OnDoutside]

5. Well the Nunes memo was the fabrication to go after Rosenstein but they

royally screwed up.....

I'm sure we both agree Trump is trying to obstruct justice.

6. Wasn't it discussed here that Mueller is info sharing with New York State?

I haven't seen it mentioned in a while. Recently someone here was even questioning if that was true. But I'm pretty sure that there were links to a legit news story about the sharing.

So if it's true, then Trump ought to be very cautious. As in, "Be afraid. Be very afraid." territory. Imo, your theory is plausible.

7. I think so too eleny

[tblue37]

11. It is true. And the Maryland AG, too. I hope he also shares with the CA AG, b/c o Nunes

and his laundered Russian mob money.

8. I don't think he can either, or will, but even if he does

the shit will still hit the fan. It's like a huge abscess about to explode.
tRump is going down!

9. He doesn't have to fire Mueller if he convince enough people that he is being falsely charged...

...and most of his supporters already believe that.

To them, he is the most honest person in Washington and the media can't stand it because he tells the truth. They actually believe that.

[shraby]

12. It will all come out in the wash. When he/they are charged and have to face the judge.

[lunatica]

10. I agree with you

Slowly but surely Trump is being nailed to the wall with a thousand nails.

13. He probably knows any actions against justice would only be a stalling tactic: No idea what that ext

extra few days/weeks would get him, but the attack would land him in so much political trouble, he'll only do it when he has nothing left to lose.
