My prediction- Trump is irrational and will fire Jeff Sessions pronto to be able to fire Mueller

[wt1531]

Because he thinks this is a game.
And all hell will break loose once he attempts to do that.
Quick impeachment
NY attorney general will be waiting with multiple state charges after all this.

1. Agreed

Tubby now knows It's MUELLER time.
I expect something big as he moves closer.
Especially to Jr and Jared.

2. Given his track record, yep, Trump will likely do something stupid and irrational. n/t

3. Maybe if he only watches Fox he won't even know about plea deal!

4. I guess I don't know all the stops and gaps..

Why would he have to fire Sessions in order to fire Mueller?

8. Because Jeff Sessions has recused himself from the Russia investigation

His deputy, Rosenstein (sp?), is the one that appointed Mueller. So Trump can't directly fire the deputy attorney General, who is the one that has the authority to fire Mueller. He has to go through his AG. He will need a new attorney general to be able to do that. Problem is, Senate will not confirm a new AG because it is now clear to everyone that Trump is simply trying to obstruct justice.

5. Removing Mueller won't eliminate the grand jury indictments.

They will continue.

6. It's certainly going to be an interesting weekend.

I can just imagine Alex Baldwin...."Yeah - my Saturday Night Massacre was YUGE. Tremendous. Much bigger than any other Saturday Night Massacre in history. It was the winningest".

7. He fires Sessions

The line of succession is Rosenstein. I guess he could keep firing until he finds his Bork.

A nice little summary in the New York Times that came out during the Bork hearings.

10. I Dunno

I think it might be too late to fire Mueller. The fallout would be too much to handle.
