If Trump’s lawyers were worth their salt they would be howling about the constitutionally unsupportable special counsel position and helping Trump to make a constitutional argument to the public against Mueller until it was safe for TRUMP to fire Mueller.
Agreed! Oh man how I agree. It seems only the President has been aggressive and tough in this fight while even his attorneys have been milquetoast. I say go for the jugular against Mueller and that cabal of conspirators.
That may well be in play at the most advantageous moment.
If Rosentein signs off on any subpoena Trump may call him into the WH and tell him to bring the SC with him. Have the MSM in the room and drop some bombs on both of them.
Trump could play both of the points you raise in a single move, to say nothing of criminal charges brought by an uncompromised DOJ.
