In a way it's bizarre that Trump wants to shut down Mueller.

Mueller's investigation has been remarkably secret and closed. No one knows what he's found or what he plans to do.
The claim that it's biased against Trump is totally unfounded in anything but paranoia.
Who knows? Maybe it will unearth some damaging info on Democrats.
He wants to shut it down without knowing anything about what's going on.

We know Mueller has indicted 4 people and two have been reported to cooperate with the investigation but all the indictments have been pretty low level and several charges were not even related to Trump. On the surface this shouldn't bother him much at all.

So Trump has no idea what's going on but he's vehemently against it anyway.
It seems in any rational world he would wait until something was revealed so he'd know what he was dealing with.
To insist the investigation shut down before he knows anything about what's going on is insane. (as we all know)

Insane, of course, unless he's knows of something horrifically destructive to himself could possibly be uncovered. (what we all expect of course)

It's also unbelievable that Republicans and Fox toadies back Trump in shutting down the investigation.
To insist an investigation be shut down before you know anything about it and before any results have been revealed doesn't make any sense at all.
If there is something extremely illegal and damaging to the country you would think that any American would want to at least know what it is.

Many Americans have discarded all principals of democracy and justice in service to slavish dedication to one party control.

That is to be expected. 2018 is going to be a looong and exhausting year.

As long as Mueller is working, there's the possibility that Trump will be revealed. Take away Mueller and thereby take away the possibility.

4. Trump knows what's going on because he knows the truth. He doesn't know when it will come down.

We just won't know until Mueller finishes his investigation.

Must be similar to an elephant waiting to give birth.

She went back and blabbed to DT about the questions she was asked. If He has any brain, he’s put 2+2 together and knows the answer: he’s screwed

Indeed. It would take someone with MORE credibility than Mueller. Good luck with that, Comrade Trumpsky!

7. Attacking Mueller helps IF he charges Trump, its like a vaccine

The vaccine helps if you meet a flu bug. If you don’t meet a flu bug, no harm having been vaccinated.

10. The only way to have it make perfect sense is to start with the assumption that he's guilty as hell.

The truth, and trump and the gop are in so deep with putin and russians, and corruption, they know they have to do anything at all costs to prevent its exposing them all for what they done. they are corrupting the government in desperation to save them from Mueller , who is a truth teller, their worse nightmare.
