    Trump has threatened to have Special Counsel Mueller fired, if Mueller's investigation expands into reviewing Trump's business connections with Russia and neighboring states.

    If Trump does choose to do this, it would be CLEAR Obstruction of Justice and Trump would have to be impeached.

    If the Special Counsel and FBI feel there may be links between Trump's businesses, foreign entities that may have been involved in the election, they have the right to look into it.

    We already know that Trump has shady connections to Azerbaijan ministers and Cyprus banks, and a Russian Oligarch.

    If Trump has nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear.

    Leftists know all sorts of things which aren't so.

    It's the deranged behavior of the mental patient in the ward who keeps slamming their head into the same padded wall.

    If trump fires Mueller he'll be committing suicide and trump will probably do it. Trump thinks he can walk into a fire and come out unscathed. He is totally absent of any cognitive skills.

    To be honest, we will allow him to skate. He will be removed, or resign, and shuffle off to buffalo. Like Nixon.

    WE think that is HONOR. When really, the Watergate crap, is why we had Iran Contra, if not Trump.

    LOCK HIM UP, might have provided some reluctance to repeat their follies.

    Rosenstein's making the headlines ... defending Trumps decision to fire Comey ... Mueller's on thin ice, but IMO he'll recuse before he gets fired.

    I can see Trump trying to install Wray, calling him the only legitimate person to carry on.

    I also see Wray resigning over it.

    Mueller's done his own hiring ... he must have a #2. Rosenstein provides limited oversight. Mueller I think will become a witness to Comeys firing, which committee is already investigating. Mueller has a lot of entanglements that could result in recusal.

    I must say, it was a remarkable interview Trump gave to the NY Times, it is about as imbecilic as it gets, pure Trump.........hard to believe this clown is president, LOL. To paraphrase Ben Wittes - "Tick, tick, tick........"

    Agree.
    How low we have sunk as a nation to have a reality show host - off script - in the White House.
    How people can defend such ramblings defies reason.

    Now you're the one speculating. None of us has said Trump keeps slamming his head against a padded wall because of his instability. Why would you say such a thing?
    We say he keeps bashing his head against a brick wall resulting in his mental instability.

    It's all part of the race to the bottom. Look at the minimum wage thread and the union thread. We have people saying we need to live and work like the Chinese so the uber rich can compete on the global market. In order for that we have to, as a nation, accept a government that has absolutely no interest in the welfare of the majority.

    If Muller, having failed to establish any sort of illegal Trump/Russia collusion decides to extends the scope of his investigation to absolutely irrelevant things like Trump's business transactions and dig up some dirt (any dirt), he should absolutely be fired. Who does he think he is, Ken Starr? :D

    At that point the investigation will officially have turned into a fishing expedition and witch hunt and no sane person residing outside of the lib/media TDS bubble will see a need to put up with this, let alone pay for it.

    Trump is petrified about Mueller seeing his taxes.

    I winder why that it....

    And yes he is going to try and fire Mueller but he can't. That's on Rosenstein and he won't

    I haven't seen any such thing reported. Can you provide a link?

    There is some comically blatant Fake News on the subject. Here's an example from Daily KOS:

    Headline: "Trump Threatens to Fire Mueller"

    From the article: "Mr. Trump never said he would order the Justice Department to fire Mr. Mueller, nor would he outline circumstances under which he might do so."

    https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2017/7/19/1682263/-Trump-Threatens-to-Fire-Mueller

    I need some help here. I'm seriously considering dropping off of PF. It appears to me that any post coming from the left is not credible. I'm starting to believe my expectation of honest and informed debate was foolish.

    Any help is appreciated.
