Flake: Trump 'seems to be building' toward firing Mueller

Flake: Trump 'seems to be building' toward firing Mueller
BY BRETT SAMUELS - 03/18/18 09:27 AM EDT

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said Sunday that President Trump seems to be building toward firing special counsel Robert Mueller after FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was dismissed Friday.

“It was a horrible day for democracy. To have firings like this happening at the top from the president and the attorney general does not speak well for what’s going on,” Flake said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Asked if he believes the president is laying the groundwork to fire Mueller, Flake said “it seems to be building towards that. But I just hope it doesn’t go there, because it can’t.”

Oh sure, some Republicans may say some harsh words or something like that but, in the end, they'll accept it and move on with the next tax cut or "regulatory relief" bill.
