Feinstein: “I'm growing increasingly concerned that the president will attempt to fire [Mueller and Rosenstein]." ... Trump plans to "go on attack," sees prosecutors as just another opponent .... Not surprising but still a neat detail: Mueller will use a separate computer ... "I was going to fire him regardless of the recommendation..."

a business partner with international money laundering criminals including Putin.

He owes them billions.

They cant have him taken down and them too, so not sure what they will do thru him.

This is a very dangerous time mainly because almost half of the country and politicians are siding with Putin. So far at least.

But, it a badge of honor to be fired by Donny the idiot and it seems criminal.

Now that Pence is lawyered up, Trumpy is probably going to try to fire him too.
What next, Vice President Bannon?

Firing people for ineptitude or doing the wrong thing, however, is a different story if the person also is considered loyal.

Remember he didn't actually fire Mike Flynn. Flynn resigned.

That title you use to refer to him ... he hasn't earned it and never will IMO. I have not yet used that title in referring to this lump of dung and don't ever expect to.
