Will Trump Really Fire Mueller? And 3 More Key Questions After Mondays Raid

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The FBI raid on Michael Cohen’s office and hotel is not a Trump v. Mueller thing, although that's what the White House would have you believe. Instead, it’s a reminder of the deplorable character of so many of the people with whom the president has chosen to associate himself over the years. After Monday’s raid, here are four central questions to keep in mind.

Will Trump fire Mueller?

If Trump fires Special Counsel Robert Mueller for this, why wouldn’t he fire Deputy A.G. Rod Rosenstein, who authorized the searches? And if he dismisses Rosenstein, why wouldn’t he fire the federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York, the ones who also signed off on the raids? That’s a group, not for nothing, that includes the U.S. Attorney-nominee, Republican Geoffrey Berman, appointed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the president’s recuser-in-chief. While Trump’s at it, why not then fire Sessions?

All of those mentioned above (save Sessions) bear more blame than Robert Mueller for Cohen’s miserable Monday. One or more of these firings would, in a sane world, rouse congressional Republicans from their tax-law-infused slumber. Which is why the president needs to turn Monday’s raids into another example of what he claims is Mueller’s crusade against him, and why he had the temerity to say the FBI searches were "an attack on America." That’s an argument designed to fly in the deep recesses of Fox News and among Vichy Republicans, but nowhere else.

Bank fraud? Campaign finance violations? Money laundering? What’s shocking about the feds’ raid on Trump’s favorite lawyer is how utterly unsurprising it is, given what we know about Trump and Cohen. They deserve each other, this client and this attorney, and now the attorney is in big trouble, and so his client. There is enough potential criminal conduct swirling around the president right now without the special counsel’s looming report.

1. I am glad that Taibi guy isnt on this article. Boy did I fuck up when I thought

he knew what he was doing.

sigh

Anyway, of COURSE he will, he would have a year ago if he hadnt been scared into not doing it by whoever.

EVERY legitimate law enforcement entity and personnel, every judge so far including the ones Rufus DelaTraitorous himself appointed, has sided AGAINST him because he is GUILTY as FUCK!

But what we all know is the LAST consideration he makes about Mueller is the constitution, the country, the law, etc.
