If he fires Sessions,Rosenstein *or* Mueller he'll be impeached regardless of who controls the House.

There comes a point in any war when you have to take a big risk. We are in a cold civil war. Time for big risks.

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.

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.”
