they would be complete morons to try to impeach..

ahh, but you see, they ARE complete morons. You are correct, nobody with halfway decent political judgment or a fully functioning brain would attempt it. But their base of deranged moonbats and Tom Steyer's checkbook are going to insist.

I agree.

Dems have made clear they’re going to mercilessly harrass the President. Give ‘em something to squeal about!

Pelosi is going to try to impeach him anyway so he may as well clean house.

Good point.

Whitaker has not recused himself, and he is who Mueller answers to now. Rosenstein is no longer a player. The question at this point is, will he still have a job tomorrow.

"Reassignment"

I'm wagering on a announcement that Rod is reassigned and that Whitaker is in charge.

I’ll wait for something concrete before I pop the champagne. This is eerily similar to the same type of report about a month ago and nothing came of it.

Could be. Whatever, it can’t be good for Rosenstein, Mueller, and the coup focuses rabble-rousers.

...

As Trump said this morning, the Senate can do their own investigations of the Democrats, plus Trump is now going to gain control of the DOJ, which he should have had from the first day.

“No, because Whitaker is now in charge of Mueller.”

The question is when Whitaker fires mueller and his cabal of high treason co-conspirators, will Mueller leak his report to the press? Or somehow his report will find its way to congress...I’m expecting that to happen.

Is there any reason Whitaker would have to recuse himself, or can he be Mueller’s boss now too?

Yes but exit polls showed most voters think the whole thing is a sham, so Trump is probably OK letting him throw the hissy fit.

If it were only a hissy fit. This is a coup. The left are determined to rule one way or another. The media will go to defcon 1 with the report. They want to bring the country to crisis anyways.
