Trump is planning to oust Sessions and crush the Mueller probe: report

[UCmeNdc]

President Donald Trump has hatched a new plan to oust Attorney General Jeff Sessions and crush Robert Mueller’s Russia probe — all while bypassing the need to ask the Senate to confirm a new attorney general.

According to Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman, Trump has discussed firing Sessions and replacing him with current Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt. Since Pruitt, unlike Sessions, has not recused himself from being involved in Russia-related matters, he would be completely free to shut down the probe.

“Also, as an agency head and former state attorney general, Pruitt would presumably have a good shot at passing a Senate confirmation hearing,” the report notes.

5. I bet he's already got a bunch of them in place. Sealed indictments.

It'll be like a surprise party!

9. I read, quite a while ago, that if tRump

fires Mueller, it will act as a trip wire and that everything will be unsealed including indictments.

6. Both Ryan and McConnell are in this

With trump up to their necks, and we need them both gone, and the ability to go after them both also. Both Ryan and McConnell will do nothing, no matter what he does, and ignore any Mueller report against trump. Just like if he fires Mueller they'll do nothing.

7. I am sure that the gamblers are having fun with this.

8. Don Blankenship will be nominated to replace Pruitt.
