Don't over-react to rumors about Mueller

This all came from Christopher Ruddy, who's exact words were:

"“I think he’s considering perhaps terminating the special counsel. I think he’s weighing that option,” Ruddy said when asked by Woodruff whether the president was prepared to let the special counsel pursue the Russia investigation. “I think it’s pretty clear by what one of his lawyers said on television recently.”

“I personally think it would be a very significant mistake,” Ruddy added.

He only speculated and didn't say he spoke to 45. And even if he did speak to him, it appears he advised against it. This is speculation that is no more than what DUer's have been speculating about since Mueller was hired. Nothing has changed. Maybe he will do it. Maybe he won't. Or maybe he'll start WWIII. You just never know with Trump. And he likes it that way. Don't give him what he wants.

The more kerfuffle he stirs up with the possibility he'll fire Mueller, the happier Trump will be. It's just like the tapes--he hungers for our attention, our desire to know what he's going to do. Fuck him--ignore it. I wish the people on TV would stop giving the story (or the "story&quot so much time.

He did the same damn thing with "will he or will he not take us out of the Paris accords?" We knew he would, but he wouldn't announce it because he doesn't want to be "predictable." He's so goddam predictable he might as well be a fucking clock.

He worked for Richard Mellon Scaife . Google the term "Ruddy is VRWC;" you won't be disappointed.

But it was just a rumor that he'd fire Comey too. Also, you're NOT dealing with a person whose working with a full deck here. Plus, I don't put anything past this lying, mentally-deteriorating, POS who was installed into the White House.

Back to Mueller, I just saw where Adam Schiff said that clown would be wasting his time firing Special Counsel Mueller, who would be re-appointed.
