BREAKING: Just reported on CNN: Trump considering firing Mueller [View all]

Last edited Mon Jun 12, 2017, 08:25 PM - Edit history (2)

This will break the Constitution. Trump is guilty and there will be no one left to stop him.

Update: CNN whitehouse staff reporting that WH is in chaos over this.

Second Update: Toobin is now saying it's up to Rosenstein. Question is would he do it...? I think he would based on his Congressional testimony.

Update Three: One CNN analyst suggested that Rosenstein could be forced by Mueller to recuse himself... mainly because Rosenstein was involved in firing Comey and that aspect is now part of the investigation into obstruction... interesting.
