What makes you jump to Mueller from there? The political will, outside of Trump and a few disciples, doesn't seem to be there to remove Mueller.

To investigate the FBI. They’re all just doubling down. I’m really worried something really really big is going to happen.

Yet here we are more than halfway through February and Mueller is still going strong with charges laid against six of Trump's cronies.

if he escapes this. There comes a point when he has to start thinking about cutting his losses. He's 76. How much of the time he has left does he want to spend in prison?

Although he might fire Mueller, he can't erase his memory, unless he kills him.

We are not powerless.

He would be called before the House to testify immediately and the world would know everything Robert Mueller knows.

He didn't actually say that Rosenstein did NOT wear a wire. Maybe he did.

I suspect that he did.

Maybe he did. Perhaps that’s why Rosenstein has been fearless in this for the most part.

RUMP is like breaking apart! He could do anything, like a bear in a corner. Is that Muellers plan? Maybe, along with some STATE charges as a backup!! I feel RUMP JR. could be RUMPS downfall! If he is charged the pardons will begin! (my opinion) Will get VERY interesting SOON! Just gotta say seems like things are getting VERY TENSE!! We will see! GO MUELLER!!!!

. . .if he does get fired, indictments and more will be set in motion in ways that Trump and his GOoPer enablers cannot stop. And it goes all the way down to the SDNY and the states.

In essence, if Trump pulls the trigger, his demise will commence.

Don't get me wrong, he will fire him in the end, but only as a last resort HAIL MARY type of thing. And at that point it will be too late to matter.

It already is. The states will get Trump if the FBI fails.

will somehow save him and the gang. It won't. Trump has taken on too much. He cannot win, even if he thinks he can. He has taken on the FBI, CIA, Democratic Majority, New York State Attorney General, and others. That includes the media. Certain members of the media are like the FBI. They will not stop till they get Donald and the gang.
