What would he realistically do though?

He could talk.

Not controllable enough for Trump.

Maybe he'll go with John Barron instead.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Giuliani told CNN he does NOT want the AG position from the linked AP article:

I Guess he's not so dumb after all

 

[Shauni]

He could talk.

Oh, you mean like about Russia? Yeah, maybe

 

[Beer Monkey]

If the Senate lets him pull a recess appointment for a new AG in August they need to fucking burn to the ground.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Giuliani told CNN he does NOT want the AG position from the linked AP article:

Damn, not even Giuliani wants any part of it.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

and what if rex resigns the same day this happens?

what a fucking dumpster fire of an administration. I hope he does it.

TWO SCOOPS

 

[Opto]

He can't be a piece of shit on TV if he's in prison

 

[Electret]

 

[ezrarh]

Damn. He has a brain.

Guess we should give it to McCain.

Or Barron Trump.

I don't think they can stop him in that situation

 

[Envelope]

seriously

if trump fires mueller

not a single repub is actually gonna do anything about it

he has no reason not to do it, everyone with a brain already knows he guilty af

 

[PhoncipleBone]

While I would be happy to see a racist fuckwad elf like Sessions out of such a powerful position, I would also like to see him stay there so he gets ruined and destroyed by the ongoing investigation.

 

[Avalanche]

It's amazing but perhaps not surprising that a man whose public identity used to essentially be the guy who fired people on TV is too much of a pussy to fire anyone.

This is where I'm at.

 

[Zolo]

Was talking to some political types and they brought up an interesting point. Trump could fire session while Congress is on vacation and do a recess appointment that would not require congressional approval until the next session of congress so could have a period to do his fuckery

Can't Democrats keep a guy around, so it doesn't technically go on recess?

 

[Desperado]

So firing Sessions leads to Mueller getting fired?

 

[Zolo]

So firing Sessions leads to Mueller getting fired?

He also has to get someone hired or down the chain who will do it?

Amazing seeing people repeat dumb shit like this. Trump is going to fire a special counsel with a bulletproof reputation and nothing is going to happen? Stop it.

There would be a series of resignations in the DOJ and congress would create a special committee. Hell they might even just re-install Mueller.

this would have a huge backlash but I have no idea what would happen. we are in uncharted territory. hopefully some huge bombshells leak soon.

 

[duckroll]

Dude...

 

[Mark L]

He could talk.

I have never run a criminal gang before, but I always figured the first thing you did to the new guy was make them do something super dirty to lower their probability of this. And there is never any guarantee of immunity from the authorities, so....

 

[Isaac Otherworld]

Lol this fool is really going to fire Robert Mueller.

He's going to fucking do it.

 

[ZOONAMI]

I think it's about time for some massive protests.

 

[antonz]

Can't Democrats keep a guy around, so it doesn't technically go on recess?

they could do something perhaps.

 

[Magwik]

Guess we should give it to McCain.

Yeah this is pretty much the only reaction I can convey

 

[Zolo]

He's going to fucking do it.

As has been mentioned, it's always been a matter of when. We're still at least likely a year away from it concluding too.

Reappointing the guy who was fired to investigate the guy who fired him would be a huge conflict of interest, and you'd better believe Trump and his lawyers and his ballwashers at Fox News would be all over it. If Mueller gets fired, that's it.

 

[KernelPanic]

Sessions should tell him he has Mueller on speed dial, go ahead and fire me.

 

[Tuck]

It's like he wants the obstruction of justice charge...

Trump's biggest enemy has always been himself.

Maybe. GOP hasn't made any courageous step against Trump directly, why start now? Plus, they need Trump to sign off on their anti-healthcare bill. A crisis of the administration is a small price to pay for tax cuts and deregulations. Maybe they'll get around to it eventually, but I don't see all of Congress cooperating to get Mueller back on the case

 

[Beer Monkey]

I don't think they can stop him in that situation

They can (and have, for years), but I think it requires Turtle to be on board.

 

[Lonewulfeus]

Yes this is the real threat, will the turtle not actually put the senate into recess like he did during obamas last year in office to prevent Obama from using the power of recess appointment to elevate Merrick garland to the Supreme Court? Of course he won't, we'll get a recess appointment of some trump crony fuckboy and the investigation will be fucked with internally. Whether that gives trump the outcome he seeks is hard to say. If this happens leaks will become floods.

Eh... I don't think that Mueller's team would leak shit on the way out. If he gets fired we're straight up fucked.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Trump could literally make a recess appointment of his son Barron if he wanted.

There are technically no legal preconditions to be a cabinet member.

 

[theWB27]

I hope he keeps Jefferson Beauregard for now, but I would be morbidly curious to see Sessions's reactions. Can you really picture him going gentle into that good night? The man looks spiteful.

Trump taking away his power to racist won't go over well I'd imagine.

 

[serenewarfare]

You guys really think someone who has been in the IC as long as Mueller doesn't have a contingency to make sure Trump goes down if he's found something on him?

You think this dude is gonna get caught with his pants down if he's fired?

 

[bionic77]

Get ready for AG Melania Trump

Fixed.

This is where this sinking ship is headed. He is going to appoint a friend or someone he has total control over.

Yep and I was just listening to Foxnews for the daily spin and they asked a Trump team guy If Sessions were to be fired could they get a replacement through the senate quickly. Immediate response was well maybe but the August Recess is soon.

You're sure of this, with this Congress? I don't know, wish I could be. I really don't know what will happen once it happens.

Right? Comey got fired with no notice and found out via the fucking news. Dude still had time to get his memos and put homie on blast

And this whole nothing is going to happen stuff is dumb. Every time Trump's done some dumb fuckshit he always gets blowback or it gets quietly curtailed

 

[Lonewulfeus]

I agree about muellers team, firing him doesn't stop the investigation though. I think it more likely that the IC will leak like a sieve though.

 

[Dude Abides]

Did Sessions really not clear the recusal with Trump before doing it? That's like, mindbogglingly fucking dumb.

 

[Super Moop]

Step 1. Fire Sessions

Step 2. Hard pivot to marijuana legalization

Step 3. Rip millennial support from democrats.

Step 4. ???

Step 5. Moonwalk into second term.

The Sessions Gambit. Interesting...

 

[Beer Monkey]

That's like the only ethical thing he's done.

That's the sole reason why I'm not terrified of a potential firing. Mueller seems like the type to set up a Dead Man's Switch.
