Rumor
Control Says: Trump Fires Mueller
(Christmas Present for FOX)
Actual GOP and FOX Rumor Control Center
Could we
soon see a Nixon-style “Saturday Night Massacre” redux? According to one
prominent Democrat, that is the current scuttlebutt in Washington reported on
here from Mediaite.
Speaking to
California station KQED Rep. Jackie
Speier (D-CA) said that she is hearing rumors that President Trump will
fire S/C Counsel Robert Mueller after Congress leaves for Christmas break (see the video at the link).
Specifically she said: “The rumor on the Hill when I left
yesterday was that the president was going to make a significant speech at the
end of next week. And on December 22, when we are out of DC, he is going to
fire Robert Mueller.”
She went on
to say that if Trump does indeed fire Mueller during the middle of his
investigation of Russian election meddling and potential ties between the Trump
campaign and Russian officials, etc., that it would create a constitutional
crisis and “Without a doubt, there would be an impeachment effort.” (Cite: House Intelligence Committee members).
Besides
shutting down Mueller, Speier also believes Trump wants to end the
Congressional committee probes into Russia noting that the House Intelligence
Committee is rushing through interviews this month and has none scheduled for
January 2018, then she concluded: “We can read between the lines.”
Also, that committee’s Ranking Democrat, Rep.
Adam Schiff (D-CA), expressed a similar thought recently in a tweet.
Source of
the anti-Mueller attacks in In recent weeks have been more of less run out of
FOX News with Sean Hannity who has called Mueller a “disgrace to
the American justice system” then Gregg
Jarrett claimed Mueller was using the FBI as a political weapon
while invoking the KGB.
As for me: I hope that Trump takes that step to
fire Mueller … I would predict two things: (1) en masse resignation at the FBI
and elsewhere, and (2) GOPers would turn on Trump and start drawing up Articles
of Impeachment (Richard M. Nixon redux) and rightly so.
I may be wrong … but do
Republicans stand for the things they say they say they do in their speeches or
with this corrupt, arrogant, bully-like, probably mentally unstable man now serving
as our president … an easy question for real patriots. We shall see.
I’m
preparing for the holidays and will take a break to go and spend it with my two
kids in Buffalo. May some short posts, but not likely.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOURS REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU CELEBRATE
THIS TIME OF THE YEAR AND MOST OF ALL, THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.
