Friend says Trump is considering 'terminating' Mueller

https://www.yahoo.com/news/friend-s...-terminating-mueller-235925758--politics.html


WASHINGTON (AP) — A friend of the president says Donald Trump is considering "terminating" special counsel Robert Mueller.

Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy tells Judy Woodruff of "PBS NewsHour": "I think he's considering perhaps terminating the special counsel. I think he's weighing that option."

The White House did not immediately respond to questions about Ruddy's claims.

Under current Justice Department regulations, such a firing would have to be done by Attorney General Jeff Sessions' deputy, Rod Rosenstein, not the president— though those regulations could theoretically be set aside.

AGAIN, when and if Trump actually does something, then it will be news.

Meanwhile, enjoy crowing "victory" about absolutely nothing...as usual. :coffeepap:

Rosenstein was the guy who hired mueller in the first place.
 
Trump fires him, Congress hires him, Trump goes down anyway.
 
Here's video of the PBS interview with Ruddy.

I think you'll be surprised at the reasons he offers for the possibility of letting Mueller go.

Lol, the problem here is that it is almost impossible to write a sarcastic statement and have it identified as sarcasm because there is so much crazy being made these days.

If the story is true, the fact that he's even considering firing Mueller is alarming.

To, you know, people who aren't already prejudiced.
 
Looks like Trump is the one who's a Puzzy Coward. :lamo
 
Prejudiced=Scared???

No it isn't. Mueller is part of the swamp. He's a closer personal friend of Comey's and often called a "brother in arms". It would be ridiculous under any circumstance for Rosenstein to have hired him. It just goes to show how much of a swamp D.C. is.

This is how Trump floats his ideas in the media, and gauges results. He then acts upon those results.

So if there is backlash to this rumour, he won't do it. If not, he'll consider it a viable option. So we shall see.

Ordinarily Presidential actions like this would be political death - as it was for Nixon. But with party control of our government removing much of the former Constitutional checks and balances we had during Nixon, the GOP power structure will likely tolerate it and spin it to their voters. Our Republic is really in a terrible place in terms of democratic process and institutions. In his farewell address, George Washington warned of the rise political parties usurping the democratic process. He was absolutely correct.

Theoretically.

But we have complete single-party control of government. Prosecutor replacement or Presidential removal is not guaranteed, nor can we even claim it's 'likely'. We don't know.

The Comey incident alone would've done-in many Presidents in more ordinary situations, as it did to Nixon. If the Dems controlled Congress, Trump would definitely be reigned in. But that check & balance is now missing due to GOP control.

Edit: I'm adding Paul Ryan's commentary on the Comey hearing, as example of what may occur:
