What would you guys say the chance of Trump trying to fire Mueller is at now?

 

[kmfdmpig]

Great to hear. Get this clown out of office.

Also, graphs made with a ridiculous scale to exaggerate the significance of something are the worst.

 

[RoKKeR]

What would you guys say the chance of Trump trying to fire Mueller is at now?

Higher now, but I think Congress will step in and reappointment him if it happens. Jeff Flake was talking about this today.

 

[JORMBO]

Fox News is still leading off with Hillary and Lynch.

It is the top headline on FOX.

The_Donald in panic mode now. Hilarious.

Support is gathering behind a bipartisan push to protect special counsel Robert Mueller from potentially being fired by President Donald Trump.

Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, and Sen. Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat, plan to introduce a measure Thursday that would bar the President from directly firing any special counsel -- retroactive to Mueller's appointment in May.
"The President would maintain the power to remove the special counsel, but we would just want to make sure that it had merit and have that back-end judicial process," Tillis said Thursday morning on CNN's "Newsroom."
"And if there is a termination, we just want to make sure, through judicial review, that it was warranted," he added.

Mueller - "IT'S OVER ANAKIN TRUMP, I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND"
Trump- "YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER"
Mueller- "DON'T TRY IT"

*IC slices Trump into bits*

That happened earlier today. Probably a reason why all of this is happening.

Oh shit:

"Why was this warranted?"

"He was making me look bad"

 

[LiK]

LET THE INDICTMENTS BEGIN

 

[carlsojo]

I wonder what Mueller's contingency is if he does get fired.

 

[Kensation]

Well, it's officially later in the summer and I LOVE IT!

 

[Surfinn]

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Trump's gonna try to fire Mueller isn't he

 

[Skinny Pete]

Yea these guys trying to block him from firing Mueller. Shit is getting real today. Lovin it.

 

[Oriel]

The_Donald in panic mode now. Hilarious.

Someone post screens. I don't want to visit that vile place myself.

I second this. I fear my browser will develop cancer or something if I visit there.

 

[poppedcollar69]

I really hope Republicans turn on him soon, cause there's a lifetime's worth of fuckery for Mueller to dig into, and it could literally take until the end of Trump's 1st turn before the FBI is done turning over rocks

If Republicans turn in him, then a resignation is more likely, though hopefully Trump ultimately ends in prison

 

[smokeymicpot]

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Trump's gonna try to fire Mueller isn't he

Everyone is in recess it is the perfect time but that bill will pass in September when everyone is back.

 

[Sephzilla]

[broz0rs]

Grand Jury use at the federal level has about a 99% conviction rate

 

[Netherscourge]

That happened earlier today. Probably a reason why all of this is happening.

Yea, if the GoP is on board with this, then Trump is fucked.

They're trying to unhitch their wagons now with the 2018 campaign season coming up.

 

[kingocfs]

MSNBC gonna be lit tonight

 

[superdeluxe]

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Congress is actually growing a spine re mueller and sessions

 

[Surfinn]

Everyone is in recess it is the perfect time but that bill will pass in September when everyone is back.

Then he's got plenty of time to do it damn.

 

[teh_pwn]

I want to see the following people indicted.

Trump
Trump Jr
Eric Trump
Ivanka Trump
Jared Kushner
Mike Pence
Jeff Sessions
Rex Tillerson
Betsy DeVos
Scott Pruitt
Paul Ryan
Reince Priebus
Paul Manafort
Mike Flynn
Steve Bannon
Mitch McConnel
Stephen Miller
Carter Page

Anyone I'm missing?

Honestly I'm disappointed unless all of the Trumps, sans Barron because he's a minor, are in jail.

 

[BrokenFiction]

MSNBC gonna be lit tonight

It's lit RIGHT NOW. Everyone is grinning and happy.

 

[Peccavi]

That was 90% gravity.

 

[smokeymicpot]

They're trying to unhitch their wagons now with the 2018 campaign season coming up.

Few are unhitching poll numbers are getting lower and lower with his base. Give it time.

 

[m_shortpants]

So....President Pence?

If the President goes down for being compromised, surely all of his appointments are too right?

President Ryan?

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Everyone is in recess it is the perfect time but that bill will pass in September when everyone is back.

Are they doing Pro Forma?

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

We want the gold sucka, Donald Trump, we coming for you ni......

 

[thill1985]

Predicting natural next legal steps isn't some great feat.

They said the grand juries were already at work. The WSJ story says the same. That is very different than predicting something you expect might occur in the future at some point. It is clear the 'crazies' do have legit sources mixed in with their nutty ones.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Every day I keep expecting to hear that's Trump has fled to Russia.

 

[LiK]

I love that he's doing this at the start of Trump's vacation. Make him sweat.

 

[TwoDurans]

Honestly, we should be trying to figure out who the fall guy is going to be. My vote is Jared since he's not blood, but Trump may have to sacrifice Jr as well.

 

[facetheslayer92]

Inb4 President Pence :/

 

[smokeymicpot]

Are they doing Pro Forma?

They voted on a bunch of nominations then left. Not sure if they are still voting a few.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

They will come back if trump tries to slide a recess appointment through them

Let's do this.

 

[superdeluxe]

Then he's got plenty of time to do it damn.

It's not going to happen, congress will come out of recess if he tries

 

[Netherscourge]

So....President Pence?

If the President goes down for being compromised, surely all of his appointments are too right?

President Ryan?

It'll be President Pence (unless he too is implicated with all this shit) and he'll appoint a new VP who will have to be confirmed by the Congress.

Ryan likely won't be picked because then they'll need a new GoP House Rep AND a new House Speaker. Pence will probably pick some run of the mill conservative for his VP. Maybe... Mitt Romney.

 

[KarneeKarnay]

Let it burn!

 

[The Greek Freak]

They sure do wish she was president.

Honestly this is true.

Same reason gun makers love Obama. He drove sales sky high.

 

[zethren]

It'll be President Pence (unless he too is implicated with all this shit) and he'll appoint a new VP who will have to be confirmed by the Congress.

Ryan likely won't be picked because then they'll need a new GoP House Rep AND a new House Speaker.

Which would be fantastic, because there is no way in hell Pence would be reelected in 2020 as President. Dude has the charisma of soggy white bread.

 

[Kevtones]

Mark Levin gonna be extra funny today

 

[TheCochese]

Republicans decided back in January to nominate junior senators to hold pro forma sessions.

 

[chekhonte]

So, what are the limitations of Mueller to investigate trump and co? I assume that even if they find evidence of crimes outside of the parameters of the investigation they can't do anything with it right?
