Trump isn't going to fire Mueller.

He's going to let him stay on the job and embarrass himself.

BTW, wasn't Rosenstein supposed to resign within 48 hours 4 or 5 days ago?

I think some RINOs are also looking to do that.

This is the funny thing. Trump hasn’t done anything to stop it. Why would he?

It doesn’t matter. I think this amounts to Pelosi signaling that she has already done something to prevent Trump’s agenda from moving forward. All they have to do is say, “Trump was going to fire Mueller, and we stopped him.” It doesn’t matter if it was true.

Yes, that would be at least Susan Collins.

We can insist that that be a condition of passage of the remaining legislation to fund the government

and this is how the new congress will be run.
attach amendments to everything. If repubs want something, they'll have to pass the bill with the RAT amendments.

Are we going to find out that VETO is not a mafia hit man ?

Rumors of Rosenstein’s resignation were mentioned for Friday. But perhaps it’s Jeff Sessions’ week. Joe DiGenova doesn’t see much time ahead for Rod and he’s pretty tuned into the thinking of the highest circles.

This is now bigger than Rod Rosenstein. It’s the objectives in unveiling the massive conspiracy of crimes against the Constitution and Americans.

There’s going to be a brutal rollout. What the next piece will be I don’t know. It could be a document released, the DOJ IG Report on FISA Abuse or what have you.

But it’s going down. You can tell by the panic among the Dems.

How far into a discussion can you get, as a member of Congress, sworn to uphold the Constitution, before you realize that you are talking about a separation of powers issue? Tying the hands of the executive to make personnel decisions within the executive branch? How would they react to Trump signing an executive order preventing the Senate from firing one of its employees?

For a bunch of people who want to tear power out of Trump’s hands, he sure has control over them.

So unconstitutional. Separation of powers. Congress can’t prevent President from firing a Federal employee. Mueller isn’t even cabinet level and was never confirmed by the Senate.

Even if they attach this legislation to something else, Trump will say he can’t sign because it’s unconstituonal.

So now, with this precedent Trump can’t fire the WH cook?

It is very interesting how the liberals from their street thugs to elites in Congress and across America are suddenly defending Sessions as a great AG.

I’m so sick of this Russia crap. People who voted for Trump were not influenced by Russians. Unlike stupid liberals, we are not influenced by ridiculous propaganda. We are all still with very much with Trump. This Russia BS is just plain idiocy. Yet it continues as the rat blatant crimes go unanswered.

Democrats the party of millions of illegals and violent Antifa thugs can piss up a rope before I listen to them about “corruption”.

They are running cities and states proclaiming illegality as a virtue!

What doesn’t make sense is why Trump would wait until after the election to declassify the FISA reports or drop any bombshells, since this might have helped the Gop hold onto more House seats.

This is easy. Just release a report the same day following the trail of dossier evidence and payments leading back to Hillary.

Mueller waited until the Dems controlled the house. Now Trump can at least be impeached and lesson the black mark on clinton’s legacy.

It may not make sense at the moment and it may not have made sense over the past six months, but I would suggest a larger motive/chess move is why....and I say that without claiming I even know what it is; at least enough to explain it.

I *will* say that releasing those records “early” was not without significant risk.
