Do you think that Trump with the okay from the GOP fire Mueller if his investigation gets too close to Trump? It seems like they have started to bad mouth Mueller in order to set up such a move by Trump with their approval to save his presidency. I remember just a few months ago when they were talking Mueller up, probably because they believed that he would find nothing in just a month or two and the whole thing would be over. Now as Mueller gets closer to Trump and his family, iit seems they are worried and may be willing to let Trump fire Mueller without any backlash from the Congress they control. What do you think?
 
Republicans and Fox News are currently in the process of Plan B should Trump fail to fire Mueller: discredit Mueller in particular and our top law enforcement institutions in general so utterly that Republicans will feel politically insulated enough to safely ignore Mueller's recommendations when his investigation is complete.

This is the messaging that Republican voters and Trump are now exposed to on a daily basis:

 
Mueller was a highly educated man who enlisted in the Marines and fought in Vietnam. The conservative assassination of his character is pretty disgusting. All to protect a lying crooked draft dodging con artist.

Mueller is just doing his job. He's a lawman and Trump is a criminal.

Trump has to fire Mueller. He has no choice. But Trump has attacked the FBI so they will keep going even if Mueller is gone. They'll probably just leak what they already have.

Trump is doomed no matter what he does.
 
I don't believe Trump will fire Mueller, as it would echo the Saturday Night Massacre, and Trump's image of mirroring Nixon in Watergate will be too much for the public to stand.

The GOP won't risk that. What they want is to paint Mueller as the anti-Christ before his first report is submitted to Congress, so that when the House Judiciary refuses to even present articles of impeachment despite the damning evidence, the GOP will have an excuse in public for not holding Trump accountable.

That's the plan anyways.
 
Holy crap take a look at Mueller's bio!

Robert Swan Mueller III (born August 7, 1944) is an American lawyer and civil servant who was the sixth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 2001 to 2013. A Republican, he was appointed by President George W. Bush and his original ten-year term was given a two-year extension by President Barack Obama, making him the longest-serving FBI director since J. Edgar Hoover. He is currently head of the Special Counsel investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.

A graduate of Princeton University, Mueller served as a Marine Corps officer during the Vietnam War, receiving the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V" for heroism and the Purple Heart Medal. After graduating from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1973, he worked at a private firm in San Francisco for three years until his appointment as an assistant U.S. Attorney in the same city. Prior to his appointment as FBI director, Mueller served as a United States Attorney, as assistant attorney general for the Criminal Division and as acting deputy attorney general.

Good luck trying to smear this guy.

Donald Trump is not fit to even be in Robert Mueller's presence. Why isn't Mueller our president?

What Nixon did is the equivalent of a 19th century woman showing some ankle compared to today's internet porn.

Nixon would have survived in today's political climate.

If Trump does this now, it will be the single dumbest thing he can do other than forcibly rape a child on the Capitol steps in front of the press.

Wait - he might get away with that if he simply denies doing it no matter the witnesses.... so firing Mueller would be the single dumbest thing Trump could do. And I have no doubt the Republicans in Congress would absolutely NOT appreciate Trump doing that as it places front and center in the middle of a terrible constitutional crisis. And they do not want that with elections coming up in less than a year.
