Fox News Host Sean Hannity says Donald Trump will fire Robert Mueller after Hurricane Florence

https://www.newsweek.com/sean-hannity-donald-trump-hurricane-florence-1118526

Fox News and talk radio show host Sean Hannity is a known ally and supporter of President Donald Trump, often using his various media platforms to offer praise or even policy advice for the president.

When talking to a listener who called into his radio show Tuesday afternoon, Hannity said he expects the president to fire special counsel Robert Mueller and end the investigation into Russian election interference “sooner rather than later,” potentially after Hurricane Florence passes. Given Hannity and Trump reportedly talk so regularly that some White House staffers, according to The Washington Post, have dubbed the conservative media personality the president's unofficial chief of staff, it remains to be seen whether Hannity is offering the president his personal advice or if he’s simply expressing wishful thinking.

A listener posed the question to Hannity of whether Trump can and should put an end to the Mueller investigation since there have been no crimes brought against him.

Multiple former Trump aides and associates have pleaded guilty to crimes stemming from Mueller’s investigation, in addition to his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort being convicted. Dozens of Russian nationals and Russian intelligence officers have been indicted for their roles in election meddling. The crimes allegedly committed by the former Trump aides and associates were not directly related to election interference and were mostly related to campaign finance violations, tax and bank fraud and taking money from foreign governments.


Is Hannity just bullshitting ? Does he actually know something ? If Trump fires Mueller, I think it's game over.

Trump apparently talks to Hannity almost every day. He probably ranted about firing Mueller many times. He's hoping against hope that the Blue Wave won't happen so he can safely do so.

Mueller has been prepared for his firing

If it happens there are triggers in place

No proof - just a belief
