When Mueller was selected as the independent Counsel, the decision was praised by both Democrats and Republicans. Mueller is believed to be very thorough and by the book. So firing him would definitely raise some eyebrows, even with the GOP.
That being said, even the most hardcore Trump supporters on City-Data would be worried if Trump fired Mueller.
People apparently did not know of Muelller's close friendship with Comey, or they ignored it. That makes it a violation of law for him to have been appointed, and he shouldn't have accepted the position.
If Trump sold the Washington Monument to DeVos, Republicans would still back him.
They've backed his play thus far, no reason to believe they won't continue doing so. While Trump keeps everyone occupied, Republicans are busy tending to corporate interests.
It's all good.
I realize that breaking the law isn't of concern to you Liberals. That's why you supported Hillary.
The President has the authority under the Constitution to fire the Special Counsel, or even end the investigation. In this case, Mueller should be fired because it is illegal for him to have taken the position, or to have been appointed to it, because of his close personal relationship with Comey. It is a violation of law.
Mueller was friends and a mentor to Comey. He is tainted by his past relationship with Comey.
All the descriptions and comments we heard about honesty and integrity were misplace as Comey
removed all doubt about his integrity. Now we hear the same descriptions about Mueller. If he had integrity he would have not accepted the position of Special Counsel because he doesn't meet the requirements in regards to his friend Comey.
President Trump should have fired Mueller the day he was appointed. Just as he should have fired Comey on day one.
You are correct that all doubts about Comey's integrity are baseless. His reputation and record speak for itself, and he's pretty much a stand-up guy. That being said, it really doesn't matter, nor does their relationship. Comey is not being investigated. If he were, then yeah, Mueller would be an inappropriate investigator, but he's not, and this is a non-issue.
Nope. Because if they fail to do anything about it people WILL react badly. If you think the Democrats were upset before, this would actually be people as many here accuse them of being.
And most Republicans would know something was up as well.
Once Trump starts doing stuff like that nothing good will happen.
None of you people understand (so it seems) that there is a conflict of interest issue here, and that it is illegal for Mueller to have been appointed, or to have accepted the position in the first place, because of his close relationship with Jim Comey. It is a violation of the law concerning appointment of Special Counsel.
Of course, you wouldn't know that, because you only listen to CNN, MSNBC, CBS, et al. and they aren't going to tell you that. Neither do you do any research on your own. You just listen to Rachel Madcow and nod your heads.
Just keep spreading your lies. You're not helping your Party at all.
This is a a set up by Comey. No special counsel needed on Trump. No obstruction of justice. This special counsel should look at Loretta Lynch and Comey. There is evidence there of obstruction of justice on the Hillary investigation.
Comey didn't pick Mueller. The guy who recommended that Comey be fired picked Mueller. The Republican Congress can start all the special investigations it wants.
Stop whining for God's sake. Your team is in charge.

It was reported heavily on the mainstream media. Maybe you should watch that, and ignore fake-fox and bogus breitbert.
As I said earlier, it's a non-issue, Comey is not being investigated. (If you removed everyone who has a relationships with someone tied to a political investigation in DC, you could not have ANY investigation. It does not take a rocket scientist to see that this is what Trump is going for. Just like he villified the legitimate news media, he now continues to go after the intelligence community. Get rid of the press, get rid of all the investigators, and he'll be able to carry out his agenda much easier, without pesky laws and American values getting in the way...)

It's not a violation of the law, but if it were, Republicans are in charge. Why don't they fix it?

These people don't care about the Law, the Constitution or facts. They are hard Leftists. That's why they keep using the phrase, "our democracy" when discussing these issues. That leaves the Constitution out. They don't want people to understand that we are not a democracy, but we are a "Constitutional Republic." Leftists hate the Constitution. The Democrat Party is made up of hard Leftists. They are the "Anti-America Party."

I'll post it one more time, maybe YOU will understand.
Mueller is special investigator for RUSSIA investigation. Comey is not under investigation. His firing is not even the subject of the investigation. There is no conflict. Mueller is investigating POTENTIAL Russian interference with the US Election. Just about ANYONE at a level that is qualified to run this investigation probably knows and has worked with Comey, and certainly has relationships with other players in the intelligence community.

His record of protecting the Clintons.
His record of leaking information to the Press.
His record of lying under oath.
His failure to inform anyone of Lynch's demand that he not refer to the Clinton investigation as an "investigation," but a "matter," which he accepted.
His integrity is, zero.
