Republicans are giving Trump permission to fire Mueller.

Just at the moment that Mueller is ready to turn the lights on the roaches, the Republicans object. "Don't turn on the lights!"

It has become obvious to them that Mueller is after the truth. And there is no enemy more dangerous to the Republican Party, at this time in history, than the truth.

The truth is that the Republican Party, and its leaders, are conspiring with Donald Trump to conceal the truth about Russian attacks upon our democratic processes. They are deathly afraid of the truth. They want to bury it.

More and more are beginning to ask for Mueller's resignation. That is the only green light that Trump will need.

strategy they are hoping for. In fact it should not be a surprise if the other news outlets pick this up as a legitimate discussion topic, and thus the seeds of doubt are sowed into people's minds, at least that is what they hope for.

This is a very dangerous time we are living in

All hail the new feudalism! Smile while we descend the down escalator to the new Dark Ages! On the bright side, the oligarchs will destroy the economy and the environment, and possibly unwittingly unleash a nuclear Armeggedon, so none of us will suffer too long. Sad.

He owns Fox News, the WSJ and the NY Post. Yes it is coordinated but it isn't exactly a new talking point from the right.

Nunes comes out with his plan to open investigations against Hillary Clinton, including the uranium sale to Russia.

Chuck Grassley divorces himself from Diane Feinstein and the Judiciary Committee in their Russia investigation and he wants to investigate Hillary again.

The Trump White House spreads their message about Hillary "colluding" with the Russians, not the Trump White House!

And FOX News and right-wing newspapers are doubling their efforts to sabotage Mueller in his investigation.

They want it to end.

Once the tax cut issue is over, they don't need Trump anymore. Tjis is really the worst time for Mueller to start i dicting, but I am sure he doesn't care.

This will be a nothing burger serving the head of some low level campaign operative we've never heard of. Joe Scapegoat will take the heat and noise away from donnie..

I hope I'm wrong, but learning not to get my hopes up as we watch the slow destruction of everything.

This will have to be a case of the people taking to the streets. Mayhem will need to occur. Either they take away our country, or we seize it back from the usurpers.

For those who want to wait until the 2018 and 2020 elections to make this right, remember, they stole the last election (and several before it) and have only sharpened their knives in the meantime.

When I heard that Senator Grassley was no longer working with Diane Feinstein on the Russia investigation, I felt that they had changed their entire game plan.

according to another DU Thread from DonViejo https://www.democraticunderground.com/10141899695 .

And another point that supports the OP is that Ryan and McConnell may be up to their heads involved in the Russian money thing.
