Lot of threads here about RUMP getting rid of Mueller (myself included) BUT

I'm curious here, anybody have any thoughts on WHY HE HAS NOT forced his AG to fire him? Somebody some where must be STOPPING it? My way of thinking is RUMP WOULD get rid of him if he could!! WHAT"S stopping him??

1. I think he knows it would turn even the GOP leadership against him. nt

2. Fear of investigations and impeachment, I'm guessing, now that the House is Dem.

3. TRUE but

I'm kinda surprised he didn't make his move 6 months ago? Would have been a mess.

4. I think he thought he could ride it out, like he's been able to do

throughout his whole sleazy career as a real estate developer and he always got away with it, but then people started rolling on him. Once Cohen and Weisselberg started talking to Mueller he must have realized his goose was getting cooked, but by then it was too late.

5. So looking forward to THAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6. Maybe he hopes for some sort of reprieve
