You know trumps livid this morning.

My understanding is he can't fire Mueller. Would have to be Rosenstein, unless Chump fires him, then it goes down the line. Rosenstein has said he would resign before firing Mueller, and my guess is all other career Justice Dept. lawyers would do the same.

Donald Trumps Companies Destroyed Emails in Defiance of Court Orders
Donald Trump has a long, troubling history of destroying and hiding important documents in lawsuits, but he thinks Hillary Clintons the one who should be going to jail.
By Kurt Eichenwald On 10/31/16 at 7:00 AM
Over the course of decades, Donald Trumps companies have systematically destroyed or hidden thousands of emails, digital records and paper documents demanded in official proceedings, often in defiance of court orders. These tacticsexposed by a Newsweek review of thousands of pages of court filings, judicial orders and affidavits from an array of court caseshave enraged judges, prosecutors, opposing lawyers and the many ordinary citizens entangled in litigation with Trump. In each instance, Trump and entities he controlled also erected numerous hurdles that made lawsuits drag on for years, forcing courtroom opponents to spend huge sums of money in legal fees as they struggledsometimes in vainto obtain records.

To start a war or military operation to divert negative politcal attention away from yourself. Based on the movie of the same name, where the President fabricates a fake war to take political pressure away from a scandal.
