Will Donald fire Mueller? [View all] briv1016 Jun 2017 OP
If Mueller really has the goods his presidency is over. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2017 #1
Good point, if he does fire him then we know it's just a matter of time Quixote1818 Jun 2017 #6
Didn't Mueller bring on a new guy who is supposed to be a pit bull when it comes to these things? TheBlackAdder Jun 2017 #18
Yep DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2017 #22
He can do it so he will. That's why we must have an independent investigation. BigmanPigman Jun 2017 #2
An independent investigator(s) can't prosecute people or threaten to prosecute people. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2017 #3
He can't do it actually Loki Liesmith Jun 2017 #4
He can order Sessions (or Rosenstein?) to fire him, which is basically the same thing. I don't moonscape Jun 2017 #5
Sessions is [sort of] recused. It would have to be Rosenstein. briv1016 Jun 2017 #10
Isn't Sessions his .."immediate superior"? Stuart G Jun 2017 #7
and they will AlexSFCA Jun 2017 #8
Perhaps. He may need to fire them first... Loki Liesmith Jun 2017 #13
Odds better than 50/50, would be my guess... kentuck Jun 2017 #9
If the Dems win the House and he fires Mueller they can make his and his staff's lives miserable. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2017 #11
Of course he will... ADX Jun 2017 #12
God I hope so Kentonio Jun 2017 #14
Can he fire Mueller directly? I thought Rosenstein has to do it. tinrobot Jun 2017 #15
" I thought Rosenstein has to do it." DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2017 #16
I thought Rosenstein appointed him?? kentuck Jun 2017 #17
...and if Rosenstein refuses? tinrobot Jun 2017 #20
Then Rosenstein is fired? kentuck Jun 2017 #21
Will they dig up Robert Bork to do "the job"? roamer65 Jun 2017 #19
