Trump will wind up firing Robert Mueller - Mark Plotkin

Have no doubt, President Trump will wind up firing Robert Mueller
By Mark Plotkin, opinion contributor — 09/22/17

I am perfectly aware of the fact that the investigation by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III of President Donald J. Trump has not been completed.

No final report has been filed, and no indictments have yet been issued.

But after stating this, I have no doubt that Donald J. Trump will “do a Nixon.” By that, I mean, he will repeat what the former president did when it appeared that he would be either criminally charged or forced to leave office.

The Saturday night massacre took place when that era’s special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, was ready to take action against the incumbent president.

Nixon told then-Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire Cox. Richardson refused and resigned. ................

I was in radio in high school. I would read the news every day on the air. We would get the wire stories and sort through them.

call a press conference and make sure all the networks are there, and just spill, spill, spill everything he knows.
