Then we'll see if the Congress has the balls to impeach him for obstruction of justice.

that if Trump testified under oath, to Meuller, it would prove he has nothing to hide. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't do so, nor will he produce his tapes. Given that, and if he fires Mueller, what would that say? It will be obvious to everyone, even the most diehard Trump fan, though Congress will do nothing about it, unless Trump's approval rating sinks below 30%.

...Of course Trump would really be the one firing Mueller, but he couldn't use the excuse that Rosenstein fired Mueller because of the way Trump botched that excuse bigly in the firing of Comey.

After Watergate, a law was passed allowing the appointment of a Special Prosecutor.  The law expired in 1999 and was not renewed.  today we have a Special Counsel.  It is far easier to remove a Special Counsel vs. a Special Prosecutor.

 Special Counsel - The Attorney General may remove a Special Counsel for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest, or for other good cause, including violation of Departmental policies.

Special Prosecutor - The special prosecutor could only be removed by impeachment and conviction by Congress, or by the Attorney General for "substantial improprieties."

It was a lot harder to get rid of a Special Prosecutor after the "Saturday Night Massacre of Watergate infamy.  Today, the A.G. only has to show the vague "good cause" to fire a Special Counsel.  To fire a Special Prosecutor, they had to show the higher standard of "substantial improprieties."

If Mueller is fired, The Dems will try to enact the Special Prosecutor law once again.  They may be joined by enough Republicans to get it passed with numbers that will overcome a veto.  If so, they'll probably appoint Mueller once again.

seems he is intent on destroying our democracy single-handedly..i wonder how much Russian dirty money his is getting?..

What if we had a liberal SC Chief Justice? Could the Tosser fire anybody?

close to a year investigating 'collusion with NOTHING to show for it...but yet snowflakes want to keep checking it out cause there 'might be something, sometime, somewhere.  BUT there are 2 known illegal acts that should not go unnoticed....Atty Gen Loretta giving instructions to Comey to use Clinton campaign language to describe FBI actions...and the unmasking of US citizens by Rice and Samatha Power.....snowflakes agree to investigating these 2 actions??
