What if he fires Rosenstein?

Holy crap. Excrement could be impacting the airfoils pretty soon...

that people are leaking to the “fake news” press. They have no loyalty. Mueller has been marching these clowns in and they are all ratting out each other and of course Shitler. These guys are amateurs.

Every day carry bucket go a well, one day the bucket bottom must drop out. The flood gates are open.

Trump Ordered Mueller Fired, but Backed Off When White House Counsel Threatened to Quit

WASHINGTON — President Trump ordered the firing last June of Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation, according to four people told of the matter, but ultimately backed down after the White House counsel threatened to resign rather than carry out the directive.

The West Wing confrontation marks the first time Mr. Trump is known to have tried to fire the special counsel. Mr. Mueller learned about the episode in recent months as his investigators interviewed current and former senior White House officials in his inquiry into whether the president obstructed justice.

Amid the first wave of news media reports that Mr. Mueller was examining a possible obstruction case, the president began to argue that Mr. Mueller had three conflicts of interest that disqualified him from overseeing the investigation, two of the people said.

First, he claimed that a dispute years ago over fees at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., had prompted Mr. Mueller, the F.B.I. director at the time, to resign his membership. The president also said Mr. Mueller could not be impartial because he had most recently worked for the law firm that previously represented the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Finally, the president said, Mr. Mueller had been interviewed to return as the F.B.I. director the day before he was appointed special counsel in May.

Oh My!

Mr. McGahn disagreed with the president’s case and told senior White House officials that firing Mr. Mueller would have a catastrophic effect on Mr. Trump’s presidency. Mr. McGahn also told White House officials that Mr. Trump would not follow through on the dismissal on his own. The president then backed off.

McGahn called DT a chicken.

it's amusing how he hates to be publicly shamed.
This Con settled a fraud case for millions while running for office.

Right after he's outed and the law suits find him guilty.

Tick tick tick.

8.21 non-stop

It feels very, very close now.

I want a global shout of You're Fired for the Con!
Akerman maintains guilty!

... bastard as the main villain that parents can literally use to show how ... NOT ... to be to their kids.

Looks like McGahn is jumping ship and screaming for someone to help on this issue

I love the timing of this leak. Let them Fox off with their secret society attack on the FBI. The Con is showing us why they want and need those treasonous attacks.

... Red Don's obstruction case IMHO.

If this is true then there are multiple layers of Red Don getting in the way of the "nothing burger".

This goes beyond his ego not wanting to be bruised because of de-legitimizing his win in Nov

5, 4, 3...

I mean, obviously if he HAD, the shit would hit the fan. But he didnt do it. So is even wanting to do it illegal? WH counsel did his job and straightened him out on it, since this was months ago. If he didnt listen, he would've fired him by now I'd guess.

WH Counsel did his job and told Trump he couldn’t. Trump could have fired him, then easily found someone willing to do the firing. He followed the “advice” of counsel and gave up on the idea. Don’t think that amounts to much.

As to Comey, he had the power to fire him, without any reason at all. A semblance of a rationale was provided, whether many find it believable or not.

I think the SC could rule that neither rise to an attempt at obstruction of justice. But then I don’t really have any legal authority to back that up.

What we may clearly see as true and just are often not how the law ends up doing.

But if you just said "I'd like to kill that guy" nothing happens to you, unless you're threatening the president.
Another post mentions obstruction, and that seems like the only possible outlet. But I just dont see it being enough to take him out

They leaked this to see how MUCH outrage it causes because guess what? Trumpler is still thinking of firing him. Yeah, it sounds beyond idiotic, but remember who we're dealing with here. They are grasping for straws and this is a potential hail mary. Secret society? Exposed as a fraud. Deleted texts as part of a plot to 'get' Trump? Exposed as a fraud. Nunes' bullshit memo? Soon to be exposed.

What do they have left? Cobb and Co. have made a course correction, and he supposedly wants to get the useful idiot in front of Mueller, but again....to what end? He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't if that actually comes to fruition. Seems to me, the Orange Anus is damn near painted into a corner. Advantage Mueller. Get it DONE Bob....finish him.

BTW: I'm watching the 11th hour right now and Brian WIlliams quotes Bill Kristol as saying:

"Who leaked this? Probably McGahn (perhaps even with Cobb) Why now? Well, it's effect will presumably be a negative reaction to firing Mueller. Which may well mean Trump recently returned to the idea, and this is a desperate last ditch effort by McGahn to stop him again."

.......pretty close to the theory I laid out above. Night all.

He wasn't Trump's personal attorney and was instead a federally employed attorney representing the executive branch. As such he could potentially face his own charge of obstruction of justice had he carried out Trump's order.

It's really just a case of history repeating itself. U.S. Attorney General Elliot Richardson and his deputy, William Ruckelshaus both quit when Nixon ordered them to fire special prosecutor, Archibald Cox.
