Trump doesn't need to fire Mueller to end the Russia/Trump investigation.

By discrediting Mueller and the FBI Trump setting the stage for the DOJ investigation into Mueller. Mueller will be removed from the investigation pending the results of the DOJ . . .indefinitely. Temporary special investigator will be appointed . . .end of story.

1. Yes, an intensive PR campaign to discredit Mueller and FBI is the Trump strategy. nt

2. Mueller should hurry up and fry this SOB before he has the chance

[Faux pas]

3. Are you trying

to give the raging baboon more ideas on how the f everything up????

4. Yep. The table has already been set with the whole Uranium One "investigation"

Get ready for Mueller's integrity and impartiality to be brought into question.

8. Can Congress save Mueller from Trump? NO.

The bills introduced in congress have a revew process set up if Mueller is fired. . .
However, if DOJ opens an investigation into Mueller's time at the FBI, could Mueller be sidelined until the "investigation" is complete. Gives Trump time to appoint interim special counsel?

Remember Trump's life depends on stopping this investigation and he is not bound by laws or norms. We don't know where he will go to stop it, but I think it will be "replacing" Mueller.

5. I don't think so

6. The Senate has the authority to appoint an Independent Counsel that cannot be fired...

In theory, if Trump were to fire Mueller, the Senate could appoint an IC that would not be answerable to the Justice Dept or the President. The Senate could re-appoint Mueller as the IC. That would be the worst of all worlds for Donald Trump.

9. That would be sweet.

It would creat a whole new set of issues and drag it out longer.

I can actually see them doing this as they are to ignorant to be able to conceptualize anything. How stupid.

10. That would be playing with fire.
