Trump claiming he's "hamstrung" by Mueller -- makes me think Trump is planning to fire Mueller

[anneboleyn]

Seriously, he is clearly sending out a talking point tonight that Mueller is impeding his "work" as president (yeah, right). I think he might be trying to build a case, an obviously idiotic and fake case, to fire Mueller. That terrifies me I must say.

1. Pat Robertson told him to.

2. I'm nervous as to what Trump will do next.

Can't trust the GOP to ever do the right thing.

Can't trust their voters to ever entertain a thought worth thinking.

I am cautiously optimistic, but seriously nervous.

3. There are already 300 cities who are "on hold"

and ready to protest within a few hours of any announcement of a firing. If you look on the DU Homepage under topics/activists. It is sponsored by MoveOn. My sister and I already RSVPed.
I think someone on DU said that Mueller is smart enough to have planned for something like that and most likely made arrangements for the info he has collected will be passed onto the next investigator. I also think some Dems are trying to introduce bills to stop him from firing Mueller.

8. Yeah. Protest instead of logging a sane vote in every election.

Yep, that's the ticket.

9. No, we can do both and we do do both!

Vote, call, write, discuss, protest, etc can all be done easily and it isn't even multi tasking. It is never either/or. You do what you can and maintain your sanity too!

4. In what way, seriously.

5. A rat is most dangerous when cornered...

6. Come on man!?!

You know that Trump can't do a good job if he can't steal and lie with impunity. What kind of President can he be if he actually has to follow the law. I mean seriously...

7. Maybe what Trump is experiencing is a relapse of his bone spurs, which have migrated to his ass...

[mn9driver]

10. He is almost certain to try to fire him.

It may be harder than he thinks.

11. If Trump tries to fire Mueller . . .

the Gates of Hell will open, swallowing him and his swamp creatures.

This. Will. Not. Stand.

[kentuck]

12. He is begging the Republican leaders to save him.

But I would be surprised if he fired Mueller and they did nothing about it.

If that were to happen, that he fired Mueller, I do believe the Senate would re-nominate him as an "independent counsel" who could not be fired by the President.
