That's true too. I'll go back to one of my original points that money protects him.
Money doesn't mean much though as President. He didn't really think this through.

They may not do anything but if Trump fires Mueller, it just further solidifies his guilt especially if he goes through half a dozen DoJ staff to get someone willing to do so.
Even if nothing personally happens to Trump and company, it helps derail major GOP legislative agenda and makes sure that Trump is pretty much the GOP's Carter. Its not as if Trump firing Mueller is the end of all of his woes.
At this point, I'm half-way convinced Mueller is simply going to get shot, by a cop, who's body cam was mysteriously turned off, and that it will be found that Mueller threatened the cop, as well as had drugs on his person, which this cop found.
Then the cop will get promoted, and the NRA will find a way to sell more guns to white people while restricting gun sales to other ethnic groups on the grounds of "finally agreeing with the government that more gun control laws should be put into place for the safety of Americans."

Don't expect them to impeach. However, it wouldn't surprise me for them to simply having him head an independent investigation set up by the Senate. Remember, the whole reason Mueller was appointed in the first place was because Comey was fired. Try as he might, Trump cannot fire his way out of the mess he is in.

That's a good point, and I still kind of wonder if it's a better outcome than Trump actually getting removed. Having an incompetent lame duck getting nothing done could be less terrible than having Pence actually succeed in pushing the GOP agenda.

I do not think anything will come out of it either as party and people do not care it seems. I am afraid that democrats wont win much if at all in 2018 as well.Going by last hyped elections.
He's just going to pardon himself:

With the Russia investigation continuing to widen, Trump's lawyers are working to corral the probe and question the propriety of the special counsel's work. They are actively compiling a list of Mueller's alleged potential conflicts of interest, which they say could serve as a way to stymie his work, according to several of Trump's legal advisers.
A conflict of interest is one of the possible grounds that can be cited by an attorney general to remove a special counsel from office under Justice Department regulations that set rules for the job.
The president is also irritated by the notion that Mueller's probe could reach into his and his family's finances, advisers said.
Trump has been fuming about the probe in recent weeks as he has been informed about the legal questions that he and his family could face. His primary frustration centers on why allegations that his campaign coordinated with Russia should spread into scrutinizing many years of Trump dealmaking. He has told aides he was especially disturbed after learning Mueller would be able to access several years of his tax returns.

Sources tell ABC News that Mark Corallo, spokesperson for Trump legal team working Russia probe had resigned. No word yet from Corallo.

That sounds.. Interesting
Yeah, I just read that in the story I linked above. Interesting, no?
Would likely go to court if that's something that he can do.
Dude's scared shitless of it being shown he's not as rich as he makes himself out to be.

It's probably because of that NYT interview. How can you represent a client who can't be managed?

That too.
And how did that interview come about any way? Why would Trump have a sit-down with "Fake News"?

Dems can run on it during the midterms. People *will* get tired eventually.
I can already see the scene that looks like this:
The seasoned hard nosed investigative journalist who is slaving through the night on multiple cups of coffee, chain smoking cigarettes, his wife has left him and he feels the Pulitzer is within arms reach and then:
Lol that is hilarious and I also feel bad.
lol jesus that reporter should hit the town

It has been proven that reporter was making a fraudulent claim.
For all Trump says. He's insecure and wants validation from them.
Breibart/Fox News and others are gutter trash and he knows it.

If it were fraudulent why did Don Jr. confirm it?

His claim that he was working on the story was extremely misleading. He had no sources or evidence and was waiting on the NYT to run the story so he could put it in a book he was writing.

Deleted. Need to read more.
Source? It's always good to source statements like that.
You sure seem to know a lot about this man's investigative work.
