Trump will have Mueller fired before January?

[brettdale]

If that does happen, what is Mueller's options?

1. I'd say zero and none

With Whittaker in place, I think Mueller has to ask him "May I" at every turn.

2. Check out this thread for your answer.

Odds are Mueller is 1 to several steps ahead of Trump & Co.

7. If he is not

many many steps ahead of that clown show he should just resign...

8. If he is not ahead

Would surprise a lot of people

3. very likely he has sealed indictments ready to go, and extremely likely that he has shared info

with state-level attorneys general. donnie can't stop the state-level investigations.

he may have also referred matters to other federal prosecutors, like sdny.


then, of course, he may tell-all in front of a house investigative committee....

4. I predict Mueller is either already close to shut down by Whitaker

Or will be by Friday when indictments are typically unsealed/announced.

Mueller has hours or at most a few days, not months.

That said, he has a plan. He knew this was going to happen. I’m sure none of this is a surprise. When I read that Don Jr expects to be indicted soon, I figured Jr knows that he already is indicted (so does Trump Sr) which meant the game has seriously moved into critical territory.

This week is gonna be hellacious crazy

5. Agreed

This is the chaos move because chaos buys time. Mueller will be fired by Friday. Then almost 2 months will go by before the Dems take the house. 2 months is a lifetime in today's news cycle. The dems can resume the investigation but they don't have the power to indict. Without the power to indict, the investigation is toothless. It's just laying the ground work until 2020.

The biggest problem is that the repugs lack integrity. Because of that, 45 runs unchecked. They don't care what he does.

6. Then the House can just hire him
