FOX News/some Republicans are encouraging obstruction of justice

Trying to get the prosecutor fired by the President who is being investigated, specially after he fired the very FBI director who was investigating his ties to the Russians, is encouraging obstruction of justice, on steriods.

FOX "news" and the right wing Republicans are clearly cheering on for lawlessness with their calling for the firing of the investigator (Muller) by the person who and whose associates are being investigated (Trump).

I also don't know why Democrats are not stressing this attempt at obstruction of justice and abuse of power by Trump on every public platform they get. Don't get distracted with FOX "news" created and debunked non sense like Uranium and who paid for a dossier (which contains facts backed up by our intelligence agencies), and focus on the truth.

Even if he were to be fired, that doesn't mean the investigation is over.

Mueller could be fired, die, retire, quit, etc, but the investigation would just be taken over by someone else.

Don't get too attached to Mueller, he's every bit a politician...Comey spent time, alternatively, as the "hero" to both sides of the aisle, but in the end, he seemed to be motivated by politics, not justice. I doubt Mueller is wired much differently, but I'm a cynic by nature.
