They all need to face the maximum punishment for treason.

Trumps lawyers seek to undercut Muellers Russia investigation

He'd be a worse client than the schizophrenic who asked me to apply for a restraint order on a guy he thought lived on Mars.
It's only been 6 months. Unreal.
And only about 2 months into what's expected to be a 1-2 year long investigation.
Did you calmly tell him that you weren't sure how to get him served?

If Congress "re-hired" him, it would be by reinstating the act that allows them to appoint him as an independent investigator outside the President's reach.

Did he really ask if he can pardon himself? How did I miss that if true?
He will find something, it's just when he drops the hammer that I'm wondering and even if Trump gets the boot before then, the investigation will still continue and people will be brought to justice, nobody can resign and just walk away clean, Mueller and others can still go after them and will be allowed to do so?

How is the_donald handling this?
And we all know how fast congress acts, and how cordial they are with one another.
If Mueller gets fired, that's pretty much it. There will be enough interference at play to allow Trump to complete his first term unabated and maybe even secure his second, and when all the underhanded shit he pulled finally comes to light, we'll be told to stop "litigating the past" or "he's not president any more" or some variation thereof.
I reckon the firing of Mueller in the next four weeks would trigger the beginning of the end
A truly sad case study into cult of personality, blissful ignorance and wilful trolling through supposed anonimity.
keeping that subreddit around has really soured me on Reddit as a company

...lacks reading comprehension.
Oh man, I had just started creating a nice photoshop of Comey with Conways hair.
It's in the OP of this thread.
FOX, Trump & Goons have already floated that narrative here and there, but no major push on it yet.
Not that I disagree, but maybe it will end up alright. If he gets impeached, that sub will turn into more of a goldmine for salt and shadefreud that it already is. I wonder if they'll go private again if /when impeachment proceedings begin

Jumped to the end without reading the article. My bad.
Both that and Twitters failure to act on bots.

Mueller about to get fired, that's pretty sure
I thought only Rosenstein could fire Mueller ?

There's ways for Trump to do it, but he basically has to go down the line of succession until he finds someone who does
And really nobody wants to be the star of The Saturday Night Massacre 2

Whenever really bad news about Trump comes out they completely ignore it and focus either on a concocted scandal like Seth Rich or Pizzagate, or just go hard in the paint on Islamophobia as a generic backup.
It would be career suicide to be the person to fire Mueller.

You that after the healthcare debacle. I mean come on now. The one display of fear and authority over his party that could achieve the administrations goals and Trump falters.
Despite all his efforts trump cant even strongarm his very first bill into law.
Repubs don't fear him. They know full well how currently useful he is, so they instead use him.
Put a few million in their bank account, a secret one....
The annoying thing is that after Trump is gone we will have endless, he didn't get the chance to MAGA so everything shit will be the Dems fault while the Republicans do nothing but turn the screw and obstruct if the Dems get back in. They need something to fight against while they suffer, it's all they know.
Wouldn't they be putting themselves at risk to be charged with obstruction of justice?

Yes, but his boss (Rosenstein) can fire him and his boss's boss (Sessions) can fire Rosenstein, and Sessions can be fired by Trump. It would be a fucking clusterfuck if he were to do it, but what about that makes anyone think Trump wouldn't do it considering what a comic book villain he's turned out to be?

I mean, that only makes sense.
Any time Trump is in a room with a woman he always tries to steal a base.
The Russians and others have bought people for a lot less it seems.

I am hopeful all of this leads to the inevitable downfall of this orange asshole. The walls are closing in on him and he knows he's pretty much fucked.
Lol. Ty Cobb would totally support Trump if he were still alive.
To be fair, that was back when the fire wasn't hot.
Not to mention John Dowd who was the videogame version of Barry Bonds when they couldnt use his name or likeness.
Edit: it was Jon Dowd in the videogame not John Dowd like the rat jumping ship.
They will not rehire Mueller because it would be opening for them to kill Russia Probe, at least special prosecutor part of it.

He wouldn't be investigating his firing.
Maybe they realized they weren't getting paid.

Until the IC goes ballistic again and leaks all sorts of stuff out to the public to the point where it forces their hands. So much of what's happening right now is because Trump was dumb enough to go to war with the IC.
And that's not even putting into consideration what sort of Dead Man's Switch(es) Mueller has to have put in place already. Even if Mueller gets fired, I don't think it's going to just end then and there.
