https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/12/how-fox-is-undermining-the-mueller-investigation.htmlIt was on Hannity that Foxs Greg Jarrett infamously compared Muellers investigation to the operations of the KGB. Last night, Hannity brought on former White House aide Sebastian Gorka to argue that Trump could and should fire Mueller and perhaps would, if it werent for the GOPs dubious commitment to him.
Gorka: Let me remind your audience and let me remind the DNC, the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, according to the U.S. Constitution, is not the director of the FBI, nor is it the attorney general. The chief law enforcement officer is the president, and right now, thats Donald J. Trump. He could fire Mueller legally tomorrow, if he so wished, but he would have to be backed up by the Republican Party. We need to see leadership from Capitol Hill that understands
Hannity: Why doesnt Jeff Sessions do that?
Gorka: I think Jeff Sessions is in a very difficult place right now with his very, very ill-advised decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. He can reassert his power as the attorney general, but we also have to see a broader support from Congress for the president, his agenda, and what November the 8th really means to America.
We can expect to hear more from Fox about that electoral mandate and the hidden conspiracy that necessitated Muellers firing should Trump ultimately pull the plug on the investigation.

These numbskulls are 100 percent set on having a dictator. As if their lives depended on it.
