“A top congressional Republican advised the White House not to fire Rosenstein” = Lindsey Graham ...

Actually, firing Rosenstein would not get Trump impeached. Trump has a laundry list of good reasons. And, with the elections coming up Republicans would not be so bold. Besides, Mueller is still in place, but a new Deputy AG could drag everything back to ‘Collusion’ that doesn’t exist. Hopefully, Mueller would then resign or be fired.

The liberal, Alan Dershowitz, has defended the Constitution and this President more in the last month, than the majority of the Republican Party has in the last year.

A so-called, “conservative,” Jeff Sessions, hasn’t done either since he became the Attorney General.

So “the end” you speak of, just may happen under the conservative, not the liberal.

Reportedly, Rosenstein signed one or more of the latter warrant applications.

Due to an error on my part, the following sentence in the next to the last paragraph in the article linked above should be omitted: “Steele’s termination was not only because of his disclosure of information to the press, but also for lying to the FBI about it.”

He has also defended Hillary and the swamp against “criminalizing political differences”

He’s a snake and a POS. I turn the channel every time that pedo comes on TV.

Trump can’t fire Mueller. Only AG or Acting AG can fire him, and only for ‘cause.’

“The special counsel regulation under which Mueller was appointed gives the attorney general or acting attorney general sole authority to fire Mueller and only for “good cause,” such as misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity or conflict of interest.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself in March 2017 from overseeing the Russia investigation after the emergence of previously undisclosed contacts with the Russian ambassador, so that authority has fallen to the department’s No. 2, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.”

trying to put greater limits on special counsel Robert Mueller.

Greater limits? What limits are there now?

I say fire the entire DOJ 7th floor and start over.

Let’s see just how many Republicans are truly willing to commit political suicide by voting to impeach this President.

“Bad move...that’s *exactly* what the Rats want.It’s all about November.If the Rats win the House...even by one seat...DJT *will* be impeached. If he fires Sessions,Rosenstein *or* Mueller he’ll be impeached regardless of who controls the House.”

What the Rats want is for Trump NOT to fire Sessions,Rosenstein, Mueller, so the witch hunt can go on indefinitely.

We may feel it’s absurd. But the President directly firing Mueller would result in an immediate legal fight over the Constitutionality of the President’s actions. A fight we are by no means guaranteed to win.

Although there be some political blow back from such a move it's a better idea...a far better idea...than firing any of the investigators.
