I think Trump will fire Mueller. With the Flynns on the hot seat, he

[Raven]

has too much to lose. He will gamble that there are not enough votes to impeach or convict him. He simply will not allow Mueller to continue. Thoughts?

[mucifer]

1. He would have to fire the deputy attorney general or sessions. Who knows what would happen

[MFM008]

2. It will set off

A firestorm he has no idea of the likes of.

[Paladin]

7. I certainly hope so.

For one reason or another, it's bound to happen, from coast to coast. I am more than ready to take part in it.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. Trump cannot fire Mueller.

That's been discussed endlessly here and no doubt elsewhere.

If he tries to order the Deputy Attorney General to fire him, it would be the Saturday Night Massacre all over again.

Probably Trump himself has no real recollection of what happened then, but many of those around him are old enough to recall it and wouldn't want a rerun of that fiasco.

5. You think Chump isn't old enough to remember? LOLOL

The fucker is 71 years old.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

9. Oh, he's old enough.

But I bet if you ran the phrase "Saturday Night Massacre" by him he'd think it was the name of a movie. Or if he even vaguely recalled what happened, he would have zero understanding of the long-term consequences.

[MoonRiver]

11. But, but, he has the absolutely BEST memory ever!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

13. LOL!

[MoonRiver]

15. I know that because Chumpy said so!

[Raven]

8. Trump is not afraid of a SNM. The difference between then and now

is that there were decent people running the Republican Party in those days who finally called an end to Nixon. We don't have that now.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. I think he might actually have a lot to worry from the Republican Party,

although I may be hopelessly optimistic here.

[unblock]

4. "how dare he criticize the troops while the president is overseas! he's fired!"

i don't know if now's the time, but it here's something donnie says every day behind closed doors:

"waah!! he's so mean to me!! i wanna fire him!! why can't i fire him?? waahh!!"

[Dennis Donovan]

6. He can try, but that would be the final nail in Trump's coffin...

NOT impeaching him would become a political liability to the R's in congress...

[Orrex]

10. That assumes that they haven't already stolen 2018

[louis-t]

12. Won't fire him yet, but it's coming.

Flynns are not the last to go down. It will be the next one after Flynns. Probably Kushner.
