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

Hannity is hilarious wow. The delusion is gross to watch. He listed like every single major news outlet as an 'enemy' of the Trump admin conspiring to destroy Trump just because he won the election. The "Destroy Trump Alliance." LOLOL. He's calling on people to fight back 1) all of the media 2) deep state (ic) 3) democrats 4) establishment republicans 5) "never trumpers" -- wtf

So do people actually think we'll get some solid reliable answers from this ever or just one side blaming the other?
Trump gets impeached: Conservatives lose their minds on conspiracy theories and "deep state" and blame obama for the next 4 years
Trump goes off scot free: Liberals spend the next 4 years talking about the russia connection despite any conclusions drawn from any investigation and seek impeachment over and over again.
I wonder if impeachment will become the norm for US presidents from here on out, with how divided both sides are at each other.
I just want the whole thing to be over. I want to know without a shadow of a doubt that he broke the law and will be jailed or he didn't. Whether he acted morally or correctly or becoming of the office is no longer the question, it's just whether he will be arrested/impeached or not justly.
My money is on impeached by winter but who knows with how crazy things have been.

The best part about this narrative spin, is that Trump is going to undo it in a future tweet storm. Probably shitting on Mueller for something and complaining he's the most picked on president and how there doesn't need to be a special counsel and wah wah wah.
Every single time the GOP comes up with some angle to defend him or make him look good in a situation, he instinctively tweets the exact opposite; making himself look bad as well as members of the GOP who tried to defend him.

If he thought firing Comey backfired, he should do this.

Urgh, I hate defending these people, but this was clearly a joke. I mean, it's a dark joke considering who is talking, but still

Nah, you fuckers love it!!!
Expect a hell of a lot more checks and balances if Dems take back control in 2018.
Gonna be Jared's turn on the hot seat real soon.
I have no fondness for that odious quavering lickspittle, but I am a little curious to see how the alt.right will turn on him for his, ahem, theological proclivities.

Eh, it seems like a clear line of thought in the administration. Remember, Trump suggested to Comey that reporters should be thrown in jail.
Dont disagree but when you have already called out the media numerous times, discredit them at every turn you turn around and give them MORE ammo?
You will receive your first check after the next protest.
Yeah, but why make a joke like that to begin with if you didn't seem to agree with the idea on some level?

Not correct. Trump can fire him.
Lord Frieza

No, because this assumes this is a normal station. It's not. Trump's presidency is not even remotely normal for the level of corruption we are seeing
Has it changed since Nixon, or did he just want the optics of it being done by someone else?

If Trump can fire Mueller, he's going to do it. No question.

That's the right wing media for you. It ain't just Hannity. Mark Levin has been saying the same stuff for years, first with the media working to cover King Obama's crimes and hypocrisy, and then working to destroy Trump because democrats and liberals are upset their side lost and also they want to destroy America and the Constitution.

Yes, it changed in the 90's. One of the guys who architected the more current rules was on Maddow and confirmed the point that Trump can fire Mueller.

I just love how they are already trying to set up the narrative, if they don't get collusion it is a win. Sorry kids, it isn't even about that anymore. It is about trying to shut down the investigation.

I thought they did that once they found out that he and Bannon didn't like each other.

The way they have dealt with Comey...
It's like the way they deal with women that would try to sue for sexual harassment.
Undermine character, "oh it's his words against Trumps" "why didn't he come forward earlier?"

Yeah. It's just a matter of time I think. The statement from the WH seems to indicate it'll at least be some time instead of immediately though.

Come on, guys, don't die on this hill.
Unless I missed something earlier, it's been said from several sources that he cannot directly fire him. Has this been contradicted?

I prefer "Destroy Trump Federation." It has a better acronym.

I think they are firmly in "We'll gas him last" mode over Kushner. He's safe in their eyes I think.

I think the republicans would have sought hillary's impeachment at every chance they got as well.
Impeachment seems to be becoming less a necessary evil to protect the nation as a political tool when you don't win an election.
Please don't take this to mean trump deserves/doesn't deserve impeachment - and the republicans certainly have a miles longer stretch to impeach a president clinton, but both sides saw it down the road no matter who won on election day.
TICK-TOCK on how Trump team took the news that special counsel had been named to lead FBI's Trump-Russia investigation.

Firing another person beloved by the FBI is probably​ not the best idea

Good thing he cannot do that, it would be death.

Sean taking it well.
If that's the case, then it's pretty much a given that Mueller will be fired then, isn't it? Even if that's pretty much the dumbest thing Trump can do, it's the fastest way to eliminate a perceived threat and he's not thinking at all about long term consequences.
So if that actually does happen, what then? Is the investigation pretty much just killed at that point?
He's telling viewers:
"Trump voters, it's time for you to stand up and fight!"
"Start fighting.... this is a real threat, this battle is now engaged..."
This man is dangerous....

People need to start calling Hannity on his radio show and ask him shit like:
- "Isn't it against the FCC rules to publicly suck on Trump's dick on national television."
- "Sean, are you gonna kill yourself when Trump gets kicked out?"
