But this is a very serious and complicated investigation with profound implications for America and its institutions. I believe the treason and Russian quid pro quo spans both the White House and Congress.

I do not know how far or wide Mueller will feel he can go without doing irreparable harm to the country, but to stop short would also do great damage.

All I know is that I would not want to be in his shoes.

If it were me, I would bring all wrong doers to justice, come hell or high water.
But I would not have lasted a week in the jungles of Viet Nam.

Perhaps some back room deals will be cut.
And are being negotiated as we speak.

Trump could fire him tonight and Mueller could be sitting on a Royal Flush and it wouldn't mater. 33taw Dec 2017 #16

Trump can't directly fire Mueller. He has to go through Rosenstein first. Wwcd Dec 2017 #23

Agree with all. I suspect he uses leaks as artillery, Hortensis Dec 2017 #20

Yes he learned the art of psychology in warfare, quite obvious in his "leaks." Irish_Dem Dec 2017 #21

Is that coming from your twitter sources? former9thward Dec 2017 #35

It's not a good idea to disparage twitter sources. Some of these folks are well-versed Eyeball_Kid Dec 2017 #44

I agree. kentuck Dec 2017 #18

He hasn't indicted anybody about the Russian subject matter. former9thward Dec 2017 #38
