Did I just hear SHS say Trump "has the authority" to fire Mueller?

Reporter said Rosenstein has the authority, Sanders said something like "I have heard that the President has that authority."

1. She said that Trump believes he has the authority to do so.

No surprise, since he's dictator-lite.

3. If you hung around in the moral republican shitholes that Smarmy Sara does...

4. Yes, she said they've been "advised" that Trump

has the direct legal authority to fire Mueller without going through Rosenstein. It's sad that the reporters didn't challenge her on that ridiculous claim, but the White House Press corps is pretty weak on challenging anything.

Is the person who advised him of that sitting in an office with no computers and the doors knocked off?

8. It was probably Cohen.

He is such a great attorney.
