Some Thoughts on Trump Firing Mueller

Years ago I worked for a Congressman who would 'trial balloon' a piece of legislation he was uncertain about by feeding his ideas to the press to see what the blow back would be. The reaction he got would determine whether he would proceed or not. To me, that is what the Dumpster did today by leaking to the press he was considering the idea of firing Mueller. So the Dumpster and Nazi-lover Bannon saw the same thing I did - a tepid response from the Repugs in Congress. So far I haven't seen or heard anything from the triumvirate of McConnell, Ryan and McCain. The only ones who were featured on MSNBC were Collins, Graham and "big deal" Rubio. My impression from this is very depressing. I feel that if there isn't a stronger reaction from the Repug Congress, the Dumpster will indeed fire Mueller and play chicken with the Repugs to remove him from office. If the Dumpster wins this one, he has a clear shot to do anything he wishes for however long he wants, for however long he is in power. I'm sure Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III will do little if anything to stand in his way. We really are heading into the abyss.
