Democrats have a plan if Trump fires Mueller in ‘Saturday Night Massacre’
NY Post ^ | 11/08/18 | Mark Moore

House Democrats have a Plan B to make sure Robert Mueller’s findings in the Russia investigation see the light of day if President Trump fires the special counsel, a report said.

Democrats, who regained control of the House in Tuesday’s midterm elections, are preparing for a Saturday Night Massacre situation in which Trump fires top Justice Department officials in an attempt to quash Mueller’s investigation.

In that scenario, Democratic officials told Politico, Mueller would be immediately summoned to Capitol Hill, where he would testify about his findings on national television.

Mueller will never be fired. He might just disappear without even so much as a good-bye.

This Whitaker guy doesn't even need Mueller anymore. Sessions' recusal is moot because he's no longer the AG, so there isn't even a need to have Rod Rosenstein involved anymore, either.

He earns his full salary, and donates the entirety of it.

” Mueller would be immediately summoned to Capitol Hill, where he would testify about his findings on national television. “

NOW that’s FUNNY!

Who in their Right mind is going to believe Mueller?

If that’s the plan(?)….. the Dem’s should book these guys a charter flight for Argentina , -so they can spew their tale of Woe to someone who cares?

“Ok. There is a slush fund, using taxpayer dollars, to pay off woman who were molested by Congressman. Let’s see that one.”

Many juicy D areas to expose, including their personal taxes, office expenditures, media associations, unAmerican associations, past misdeeds, vote manipulation, etc. They want to fight with President Trump and us? Bring it, angry pussies and manginas.

Tagline.

Notice they only want to expose “pieces” of the investigation. What nonsense.
My suggestion would be tell Mueller to file his damn report within 60 days and get on with it.

They are pinning their last desperate hopes on Mueller's report.
More liberal tears to flow soon.

He has hesitated to do certain things because they, Dems and Repubs both, had threatened to impeach him. The threat of impeachment, with your own party threatening to not back you, is something that has weight to it.

But now that he has a stronger cleaner senate, and now that they have said flatly they will impeach him no matter what, the subject of impeachment loses its impact. They didn’t see this coming. He is now immune from their threats of impeachment, because they made it a certainty.

I’m pretty sure the law is for him to provide his report directly to the AG, who is to decide if, when and how to release it.

So, he would be under oath I presume?
He’s not that stupid, or maybe he is?

Democrats and Mueller will all be embarrassed when he announce that he found nothing on the President.

Is this what they meant by they will be civil if they win?

I wonder after the first of the year the Democrats would shut down Mueller if he started looking at Hillary’s collusion with the Russians.?

Mueller is a member of the Executive Branch. He would need approval to tell anything covered by Executive Privilege (if anything is).

Other limits on what a prosecutor can discuss would also apply.

But any attempt to uphold the law and the Constitution would infuriate the Dem mobs...

Once he is fired, he stays fired.
