Why Chris Ruddy floated the idea of firing Bob Mueller

[janx]

"My (educated) guess is that during his visit to the White House on Monday, Ruddy heard that Trump was considering firing Mueller. Ruddy thought, rightly, that doing so would be an absolutely terrible political move. Rather than calling the President to tell him that, Ruddy took to a medium where he knew Trump would listen: TV."

It is a mystery that PBS News Hour or CNN would interview this tabloid CEO in the first place. The mainstream media is absorbing some of this tabloid, conspiracy-ridden excrement--for ratings?

I have the same question about NBC and Alex Jones.

Let's hope they are doing so to educate people in the hopes that people finally gain some semblance of information literacy.

1. He's not a lone wolf

The strategy is coordinated with many rightwing operatives pecking away at Mueller. Republican stink is all over this klutzed up deception.

3. True.

He never has been.

4. Newt was on the Viewtoday trying to muddy Mueller with the GOP talking points.

WHoopi and JOy would not let him get away with it nor let him lie to them. They called him out several times.

10. I had to turn off when the bloated POS

came on. Good grief, does he live next door to a Krispy Kreme bakery?

I felt certain the girls would school him, but I could not watch. My husband just recently passed and my tolerance threshold is still very low.

11. So sorry for your loss of your hubby

I almost turned him off but stomached it to hear Whoopi and Joy spank him.

2. I think he was simply doing the Trump administration a personal favor.

1) If they don't fire him they now think it will show Trump as someone with restraint and that he isn't guilty of anything.

2) If they do fire him it will look like a deliberate and thought out decision.

We are talking about this guy, after all.

5. But why do networks like PBS and CNN pay any attention to him?

They might as well interview the CEO of the National Enquirer.

8. They should cover trial balloons, in my opinion. nt.

6. Be careful with NewsMax links

The put nasty cookies on your browser that are hard to get rid of. On my old windows computer I had to run a virus scan 3 times to erase the virus cookie they put in. I kept getting all these right wing stuff and I even deleted all my cookies on my browser. Certain sites I will never go to like drudge, newsmax and breitbart because of the tracking cookies.

9. Thank you for the heads-up.

I made an edit to my post and put a disclaimer there. I personally haven't worried about cookies or a virus in years. Can't remember the last time I saw a pop-up. I pay more than I want to admit in order to protect my computers.

7. Trump would have to be Ostrich stupid to fire Mueller. People like to stir crud nowadays.
