I think it is very possible that he orders Muellers firing.

[boston bean]

He would rather be impeached for obstruction of justice versus hung for treason.

His potential actions need to be viewed through that lense as far as I believe.

[bettyellen]

1. Sessions will have one strong talking point that will morph into "Dump Mueller! "

I firmly believe it's the only reason he is talking tomorrow.

[marylandblue]

2. He won't be hung

He will be impeached in either case and pardoned by Pence. But he doesn't think he will be impeached. He thinks he is invincible. Julius Caesar thought he was invincible too.

[MuseRider]

3. I had not really thought about it that way.

I was not real certain the media was going to go all the way with this until today. It seems the "Dear Leader" meeting finally tipped them over. Added to everything there really is nothing to hold them back, we have binders full of crap that should have made this happen before now. LOL. They are saying some important things now and still trolling the hell out of him for that meeting.

[murielm99]

7. Do you really think the Dear Leader crap did it?

I am not so sure. I think they would need some very public, obvious law-breaking to do that. This was just a way to laugh at him publicly and heap on more ridicule. We are not there yet. IMHO.

If the media ever gets to the point of turning their back on 45, they will need to be reminded that they are a big part of why he is president.

[MuseRider]

23. Oh no, sorry I did not mean that that was what brought them here

I actually meant, and probably said it wrong, that once they started with the laughing and being creeped out by it it was just pushed them over. It is just the straw ya know? It does not matter. I have just not heard one single person not talk about how creepy and wrong it is then go on like the dike is unplugged.

[NightWatcher]

4. If he does this, he'd be entering a strange new area that we've never seen before.

and I cannot guarantee that we wouldn't seek extra-Constitutional measures after that point. He might see challenges coming from outside of the typical political channels and he might also respond in extra-Constitutional activities, like suspension of civil liberties or dissolution of Congress.

[dlk]

5. Would Trump Firing Mueller Precipitate a Special Prosecutor?

Given what appears to be far-ranging collusion, it looks like nothing short of a special prosecutor will be able to get to the actual facts.

[procon]

6. An impeachment won't stop the investigations.

If crimes were committed then everything grinds on until it is all resolved.

[boston bean]

14. This mans choice s are few. His best bet is impeachment for OOJ then

he will receive a pardon for all from Pence.

Or in meantime he is able to control DOJ and he skates.

He has a lot of power to exert if republicans remain in control. They don't seem to give a shit about our country.

[Thrill]

8. I think it's possible the whole FBI turns on him then

[still_one]

12. What can the FBI do legally?

[Phoenix61]

18. If it gets to that point

I seriously doubt they will be all that worried about legality. I don't like that very dangerous idea but if Twitler tries, again, to shut down the investigation I'd rather that than becoming a satellite of Russia.

[still_one]

21. I hear you, but will his appointment for FBI director actually continue the investigation

or curtail it?

[pirateshipdude]

9. Nothing about Trump has been predictable to me.

For months, every morning I wake up and there are surprises what this man has gotten away with.

I am in a 'wait and see' mode.

[smirkymonkey]

24. Every day is a fresh hell.

I keep hoping that something will finally end this joke of a presidency, yet he seems to be getting away with it all. I am absolutely disgusted and heartbroken by what has been going on. Can't we even get one break?

[pirateshipdude]

25. I am anticipating the two Attorney Generals suing Trump.

Hopefully that will take off and we will get a look at his finances. I figure the Republicans has it all but the courts. That is still one place we may get something to happen.

[smirkymonkey]

27. I really hope so. I keep hoping every day that something will be the final death knell to this

madness. It can't go on forever like this. Sooner or later he will do himself in. It's just that in the meantime it is excruciatingly painful to watch what is going on without seeing any kind of damage stick to Trump. He is so horrible, so evil. I want to see him taken down and out and I am getting impatient.

[pirateshipdude]

28. But you know, I have been considering how little Republicans have been able to

accomplish the last handful of months with all the chaos Trump produces. I have thought that maybe a slow moving actions toward Trump might work better for us. We need 2018 to come along to take congress. The longer this takes, with continuous disruption, may work for us.

I am concerned about health care though. I hope Democrats and the people across the nation can hold them off again.

I am also concerned with foreign interaction and what trump can end up doing because of his petty behavior.

[still_one]

10. He'll do it by order his AG or Deputy AG to do it, and if they refuse, he will fire them

and appoint someone who will

I also do not think the republicans will impeach trump either.

2018 is our only chance.

There is no doubt in my mind his attorney's are telling him to do just that

[Hoyt]

11. I just don't believe the Buffoon will do that, it won't do him any good.

[Orrex]

13. That'll be a great way for him to declare his guilt unambiguously

Nothing says "I'm innocent" like firing everyone who's investigating you!

[mopinko]

15. i think it would precipitate the mother of all leaks.

the peepee tape would be on the teevee machine 24/7 for a month.

[Mme. Defarge]

16. That's my prediction.

And the House will not impeach before 2019.

[Drahthaardogs]

17. I think he just likes stirring up shit.

It amuses him.

[bluestarone]

20. i agree 100% and

so do all of his GOD DAM FOLLOWERS

[spanone]

19. trump is trolling the world.....

he floats this shit and loves to watch the waves...

[The_jackalope]

22. The country would explode.

The Republican political fallout would remain radioactive for decades. I say, bring it the fuck on.

26. I think he'll fire him. Yes I think he'll do it. He thinks he's untouchable.
