Trump's Lawyer: It's Time to Fire Robert Mueller [View all]
Source: The Daily Beast
President Donald Trumps personal lawyer, John Dowd, told The Daily Beast on Saturday morning that he hopes Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will shut down the Mueller probe.
Reached for comment by email about the firing of former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, sent The Daily Beast the text of Trumps most recent tweet on the subject, which applauded the firing.
I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabes boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier, Dowd then wrote.
He told The Daily Beast he was speaking on behalf of the president, in his capacity as the presidents attorney.

Found thanks to a tweet minutes ago from John Schindler, whose comment on earlier tweets about this story was, "Here we go...."

Editing again to add that the Daily Beast has now changed the headline to "Its Time to End the Mueller Probe."
Editing yet again to add that I just heard, from the Daily Beast's Betsy Woodruff talking an AM Joy, about half an hour into the show, that Dowd had just emailed her to tell her that he'd been speaking earlier in his PERSONAL capacity, and NOT on behalf of the president.
Too late. The story's out with the original wording.
