(5,586 posts)Like Comey wouldn't say publicly what he was telling Trump privately. To you and me, that may be a bullshit reason to fire someone, but it's entirely within the scope of his powers as President to do so.
And just 2 days ago, he said he thinks he's being fairly treated by Mueller, and he's staying "uninvolved." Everyone, including you and me, may think he wants to fire Mueller, but he's on record as saying he wants him to continue his work.
His lawyers are saying this will be wrapped up in January. We'll know soon what the next steps are. If he's not cleared in January or February, that's probably when heads will start to roll as he thinks more indictments may start coming. It will also give his minions another month to poke holes into the Special Council's staff and motivations.
