Anything above slapstick would be too high brow for how dumb this administration is.

Trump: Mueller better not follow the money!
Mueller: I think I'll follow the money.

Worst cover up in history continues.
Remember, this is brought to us by the same saga that gave us "I didn't meet with him because if I did I wouldn't tell you."

Everyone launders money in this city.
I wonder if he sincerely thought Mueller would be like "oh the president said I'd better not look into his businesses, guess I'd better obey"
Heh. Crazy how short Obama is.
I think trump probably knew this, pre times article..
What's the likelihood that he knew, and was literally trying to scare Mueller in that article away? Because that's how he deals with problems in the business world.

It's not going to be nearly as easy to fire Mueller as it was to fire Comey. Shit's gonna get crazy soon.
Mueller getting fired is an incredibly huge long shot, guys. Trump would need to fire Rosenstein and then appoint another deputy AG who would then terminate the Muelller investigation. Plus, on top of that, I'm pretty sure Schiff and the House committee have already said that they'd reappoint Mueller as a special investigator if Trump would pull something like this.
Mueller aint going anywhere.

Adam Schiff already said if Trump fires him, the House Intel Committee will immediately appoint him Special Counsel to their investigation and he'll keep right on going.
Not to mentioned that firing a SECOND guy who is leading an investigation is obstruction of justice.

AFAIK Trump can't fire Mueller. He would have to have Rosenstein do it, or fire Rosenstein to find someone who WILL fire Mueller.
He can't fire him directly though. And the guy who can has stated that he's not going to fire him. So Trump needs to fire that guy (which he can) and then find a replacement willing to fire Mueller.

At this point I bet they already have enough to convict him but he's going for the slam dunk.
Trump has gotten used to decades of everyone in his companies being kissasses. Mueller isn't falling for any of his "alpha" bullshit.

I almost feel sorry for Trumpo. Almost

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Are we sure Republicans on the committee would do this though?

Technically, Trump firing Comey was the beginning.

And since he's understaffed the DoJ he really doesn't have loyalists in the line of succession.
Beat me to it. Perfect.

Just take all the script pages from Veep, Arrested Development and House of Cards and put them in a deck shuffler.

Not legitimately. It would be further obstruction of justice.
He most likely would need to cut DOJ all the way to the bone in order to find anyone willing to do career suicide and become unhirable by any firm or corporation practicing law.

If Trump is smart(he isn't), he would fire Mueller and then resign.
Mueller is going to end up finding something really bad in his finances that could get someone close to him arrested.

Schiff said this? That would be great.

Trump knew this already. Which is why he threatened mueller earlier.
Details coming out is good. Makes it clear why firing happened instead of them being allowed to make excuses like they tried and failed to with comey.

Trump can directly fire Mueller repealling the act that. We've established this before.

Schiff doesn't hold the power to do that.
See above.
Listen: You. Do. Not. Want. Trump. To. Fire. Mueller.
Yes, it will look horrible. But there's no guarantee Congress would hire Mueller back. It will also look horrible for them as well. There's no guarantee Mueller has set up ways to pass his findings to someone like the NYAG. We would hope so, but that's it.
Firing Mueller would be an absolute shit show in the public. But Republicans will just nod and say that the President has that power.

If Mueller were to find something like money laundering that has nothing to do with Russia, could he still pass that on to prosecutors? I'm curious if we could see the whole Trump real estate empire topple, including Junior and Eric.
