he goes for dRump himself, cause my guess is dRump will fire him for anything less. Technically the GOP and dRump will say you have taken a year and not charged anyone with a crime that would lead anyone to believe he could prove collusion. They are starting to say it already . . . enough is enough. He needs to take his best shot now there is no tomorrow for Mueller and team.

(115,806 posts)Trump is a sitting president and as such probably can't even be indicted, let alone arrested, let alone prosecuted. If a grand jury lists him as an unindicted coconspirator, as happened to Nixon, he still can't be arrested. This point has already been discussed ad nauseam here on DU and everywhere else.

(1,606 posts)To the world... The guy "investigating" can be fired by the jackass commonly perceived as a guilty culprit. Jeepers, sure hope he doesn't get fired! I too wish for a fascist free govt but c'mon be real folks. (Sorry for bein a party pooper)

(7,433 posts)So we'll have to look at a Saturday Night Massacre scenario, which will take more than a few hours to unfold.
Here's some speculation:
Right now, the nation is hanging by a thread. And I don't think I'm being hyperbolic. Trumpy will not give up his power through a legal process. He'll simply refuse and he'll rile up his Nazis and tell them to fight for their country. This is very likely, not a vague and distant possibility. Trumpy has everything lined up and ready to go. Putin will help, as he HAS been helping.
Even more disgraceful than Trumpy and his family is the GOP. What chickenshit cowards they are. Some may come around to thinking that there's no future in licking Trumpy's butt. They're all clinging together, like a pact among thieves for now. That may not end.
Rudy (the Traitor) Guiliani said during last year's campaign that the 2016 election will be the US' last. I think he was anticipating what we're now witnessing. Just when the "Blue Wave" is gaining momentum, so are the Machiavellians and fascists who are creating a disaster from which they will have to suspend elections.
