I don't think he's stupid enough to do that. Then again, every time I say that.......

Same deal Ford gave to Nixon.
Ford chose to put the prospect of a trial behind the US. It likely cost him the reelection.

When Richard Nixon exercised this so-called 'right', it was listed as obstruction of justice in the bill of Impeachment against him.

A President has the power (not the right) to fire his cabinet members, but not the power to fire any federal employee he dislikes.

If one morning he thinks it will benefit him, he will do it. My guess is he will get by with it, because the Republicans in Congress don't have the backbone to stand up to him. It's a sad day for the USA but our system has always been at risk to a President like Trump. Just a matter of time before we put someone into power willing to rip it apart. The anarchistic Right wing elements worked for decades to soften up the base, and it is that army of mush-brains that got Trump elected. It's very possible that they will be dumb enough to sit back and do nothing, or even support Trump's effort to move us toward an authoritarian state.


They already do, as they mistake authoritarianism for strength, as does Trump himself. Explains his admiration for Putin et al.

It's sad to realize so many Americans feel so threatened by freedom and democracy, and so cravenly yearn for what they think is safety and security - at the cost of that freedom.

As much as Trump probably wants to fire him, cooler heads will likely prevail. Instead, his lawyers will focus on discrediting Mueller and therefore any outcomes of the investigation.

I have no idea if or to what extent Trump Org is tied to Russia. The previous remarks of his adult sons relative to Russia financing Trump Org initiatives, compel the investigation to follow the money.

Never has a POTUS and family been so engaged in discussing renewed adoption of Russian babies.

I often wonder if when Trump is advised to do or not do a particular thing, he deliberately and bull-headedly does the exact opposite of what he's advised, just because he can and because he gets a charge out of overriding his advisors.

If this is the case - then sure, Mr. President, fire 'em all! Go for it!

I think we'll find that it's Russian babes, not Russian babies, that are the concern here.
