Trump will fire Mueller
- Thread starter Huey Grey
- Start date
If he does, the political fallout will be worse than when he fired comey. I have no idea what it would be like.
It will be worse, but might not be devastating. Seems like Trump's rating dropped just a few points after firing Comey. I imagine it would be close to the same with Mueller. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Trump only go to 35% after.
I really doubt it. I know Trump wants to fire him but his staff is going to do everything in their power to stop it.
It will look really bad and convince many including Republicans in congress that he does have something to hide. The heat will go up on him.
Maybe not completely, but Trump could order Wray to severely lack its scope. If Wray hadn't withdrawn at this point, it seems like a pretty big sign that he knows what's in store for him and is willing to play ball.
Trump should just fire everyone on his staff. Clearly, no one can any job like he can.
He'll have no choice but to and he should . This is an attempted coup to assassinate him politically, with no limits and end to the investigation....cut this snake off at the head Donald and do us all a favor.
I hope your right. However, Trump's numbers are already in the gutter and it seems unlikely that this would finally convince the Republicans to impeach him. The telling thing to me is that Trump is already making threats toward Mueller and distorting his credibility. Both suggestive signs that he's laying the groundwork to fire him.
He's a president, not a king. What is wrong with you?
Again, you're ignorant. Trump has the authority to just like he did with Comey. Read again and try harder.
Exhibit A. Wingnuts like this guy would actually approve of this firing. They would probably support Trump more. They'll circle the wagons around Trump even if he unilaterally ends the investigation altogether.
So what "limits" should there be in the investigation? What if it all ties together?
Let's ask him. Would you support Trump if he fired Mueller and ended all aspects of the Russian investigation?
Man, you are dumb as a bag of hammers. Do you try to misinterpret everything I type, or are you really that stupid? The entire thread was about him having the power to dismiss Mueller, I know he has the authority to. But the fact that you would think this is okay shows how blindly partisan you are.
This is war. Wingnuts like you expecting no push back because you've been conditioned that way...well, it must be hard for you.
We
ll its been seven months...how long does it take to find evidence that isn't there??
Are you joking? This whole thing is bogus. Of course I would. The Left doesn't get to remove people from office simply because they don't like the results of an election. It doesn't work that way.
This seems to be an affirmative that he would still support Trump even after firing Trump. I just don't see Trump's numbers falling all that much. And if his numbers don't fall, the Republicans won't abandon him.
At some point the R's in congress are going to worry about Trump sabotaging their future chances if he goes and fires the guy who's suppose to be investigating him. That moves screams that he has something to hide.
Honestly in a way I think it would be better for the Dems and worse for Trump and the Republicans if he did fire Mueller. Listen the Trumpets are going to remain that way and I get it. But there are a lot of people in the middle or who don't really totally support either party. Then there are the Dems who need to be convinced to show up to the polls. Could also convince the R's to stay home as well. Don't want to vote for Dems but they arn't really wanting to go out and endorse this either. This would help the Dems electorial chances if he did that.
Consequently the Republicans are not going to want Trump doing this.
So long as that investigator is in place they can say. . . "We have a guy looking into it and so far he hasn't turned up anything." If the investigator finds something the Republicans can try and defend it like it wasn't a big deal (Unless it's really bad.) But Trump firing the investigator. It's hard for the Republicans in congress to spin that in their favor. At the very least they will have to up their own investigations just to try and show people they arn't dropping the ball on the oversight job.
This is Trump and Americans against the media and Washington establishment and it is war. There will be no end to this attempted coup unless Trump does something about it.
Well we will have to agree to disagree then. Nobody was talking about the tough media when Obama was getting skewered on a daily basis. Very similar thing to false unemployment numbers, jobs reports, etc. under Obama. Suddenly under Trump, the numbers are real. Gotcha.
I absolutely agree. The Republicans will ultimately decide to protect their chances for reelection. Which is precisely why they have no choice but to keep supporting Trump.
Trump's rabid base probably constitutes 20-25% of the voting population. If Joe lawmaker impeaches Trump, that rabid base will vote against him. And without at least 40% of the Republican base willing to vote for Joe lawmaker, his chances of reelection are basically doomed.
Wouldn't ordering Wray to limit the scope be obstruction? With Comey it was made pretty clear to the people the President shouldn't be interfering with an ongoing investigation, especially one that is about him.
I think if he fires Mueller, the GOP will say it was a bad idea, but will continue to sit by and do nothing.
It probably would be obstruction. But so what? Who will be willing to charge him? The DOJ? Trump owns them. If Sessions does charge him, Trump can simply fire him. Congress? Same problem. Trump owns them. And charging him would almost guarantee that they would lose their next election.
Yeah, and you aren't biased at all right? Trump is getting hammered, but at least it's because he is guilty as fvck and a total buffoon on top of it.
Have they found ANYTHING yet? No. Mueller doesn't have carte blanche to investigate ANYTHING wants. He's a hatchet man and needs to go. Enough is enough.
The deplorables will never leave him. They have redefined their lives to accommodate Trump. The cult of personality is strong.
Obama wasn't even VETTED by the media because they're is no media, it's a myrh as is obvious with the treatment of Trump. Thanks for the laugh, I'm sorry you're so far behind.
That will play right into our hands. You are trapped. You should move to Russia before it gets cold.
Besides a consistent pattern by the people closest to him of lying about their interactions with various Russians? I'm sure it was all above board and that they just "forgot", and if that is the case Trump supporters should have no problem letting the investigation run its course so he is fully exonerated. I know Republicans love them some good old investigations. It's just funny this is the first time I've heard them say there should be a time limit on them.
Let me put it this way. You still believe Hillary is guilty of... something... in the Benghazi attack, correct? Despite multiple Congressional inquiries that turned up nothing and cost millions. What would you have said if Obama had ended that investigation or given her a pardon?
