Former FBI Director Mueller appointed special counsel for Trump-Russia investigation

Nothing says guilty like firing someone who was just doing his job.
Besides it's not like Bush's crew particularly cares for Trump?

Yeah, trying to throw Rosenstein under the bus was wrong play.

Seriously... watch Twin Peaks.
Anyways, Rod is pretty untouchable for the foreseeable future. That's the other thing that makes this a brilliant move on his part. If they fire him and it looks remotely political... that's only going to add more fuel to the obstruction of justice charges.
Hahaha, that was just a big FUCK YOU to the Trump admin for trying to throw Rosenstein under the bus for the Comey firing.
They did this time and time again and now it finally backfired on them

If Trump does that he's done. Even the GOP couldn't deny he would be basically admitting guilt.

Probably, but Mueller is safe. President can't fire him.
I guess, but how suicidal he is? Mueller would shove several probes up Session's ass if Session's fired Rosenstein after this.

'A thorough investigation will confirm what we already know, that a thorough campaign will exonerate me, and I hope this concludes quickly.' Approximately what Trump just said.

Since there's actually something happening, is the use of RonPaul_It'sHappening.gifs now considered appropriate? Oh, but please don't post them. They give me seizures. I prefer to think of this as "the end of the beginning," and saying "beginning of the end" is waaaaaaaaaaaaay premature. Everything Trump is always dramatic and unpredictable as hell and there's no reason to think this will be any different.

If anything happens to Rosenstein this is just going to get worse.
He fired Comey and things got worse.
What do you all think is going to happen if Rosenstein gets fired?

Yeah, but this is Team Trump were dealing with. Usually I'd say no one could be that stupid, but well...

Next up, Trump calls Mueller to ask that he wrap this up since there's nothing to find.
I'm starting to get used to having Erin with me in the living room every night
To reiterate: Obama requested that Mueller stay on as head of the FBI for two additional years beyond his 10-year term. That's the definition of non-partisan.

Yup. They tried to throw him under the bus and he was like oh fuck that shit. Trump and his band of merry idiots did nothing but ultimately seal their fates.

That would be a breathtakingly bad move accelerating the process even furthee. The whole reason we got Mueller is due to the Comey firing.

Trump played himself SO BAD firing Comey. It's totally a let's do it and be legends moment.
The only way it concludes quickly is if you resign or your cabinet pulls the 25th Amendment on you.

Which is why he fired the last guy investigating after he declined to shut the investigation down when asked. Sell it someplace else fuckwit, we're not buying.
