They'd first have to recreate the office of independent counsel, since that law was allowed to lapse, but otherwise no.

Not that the current congress would do that, though.

I hope he is, but that he can't get anyone beneath Rosenstein to squash the investigation before Mueller rolls out his first report. All of the gently caress-up, none of the profit.

You usually don't own 100% of your house. Take whatever is left after paying the remaining debt on your 900k house's mortgage, subtract the down payment on the 300k house, and see what you have. 600k isn't enough for one person to retire on, but if you have other income, investments and savings you could stretch pretty far.

Could absolutely 100% happen. But I don’t believe for a second that this guy knows poo poo.

Also it’s very possible that Trump right this moment is going to fire everyone but by morning will be talked out of it. Like has happened several times since last summer according to Maggie whatshername.

quote:

Stephen K. Bannon, who was ousted as White House chief strategist last summer but has remained in touch with some members of President Trump’s circle, is pitching a plan to West Wing aides and congressional allies to cripple the federal probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to four people familiar with the discussions.

The first step, these people say, would be for Trump to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, who oversees the work of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and in recent days signed off on a search warrant of Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen.

I know they won’t do poo poo but most every republican that gets on tv tells trump directly (using tv) that if he fires mueller it will be a constitutional crisis and they’ll impeach him. There’s not many Republicans in Congress that want him to fire mueller one bit.

I can totally see him doing things to get some puppet installed that would reign in mueller’s scope. But even still it might be hard to actually find someone that will take the job.

Yeah even if Rod is fired I don’t think that means Mueller is gone. I think Trumps hyper dumbass plan is to try and get a lackey to reign Mueller in or get in his way as much as possible. (Which would be yet another obstruction charge lol.) When that inevitably fails then he goes after Mueller himself. That might takes weeks/months who knows.

Yeah if Rosenstein gets fired tomorrow then Trump can either try and orchestrate a Saturday night massacre or the Senate's Mueller Bill will suddenly become a very real thing next week, otherwise Mitch will probably make sure it quietly dies if Trump is physically capable of not fanning the flames for a few days.
