Well, Trump isn't really very good at firing people. He's actually pretty bad at it, they say.

And he's been a quitte at everything he's ever tried.

Quitter.

I wish he'd quit this job..

We already know the answer:

1) GOP has taken millions of dollars directly and indirectly from Russians, both through SuperPACs and NRA etc.
2) GOP emails were hacked too, kompromat


Trump is holding the contents of the emails over the victims. Rather than go to the authorities, they have played along thinking they could come out ok.

They were wrong.

So far they've gotten a tax cut and a Supreme Court justice out of it. Looks pretty OK from a Republican perspective to me.

The presidency seems to be unraveling before our eyes.

Rumors that Ryan won't seek re-election.


Hmmm

And he would have had every legal right to do so. So what?

I don't know. It seems unlikely that it would be McGahn. Could be Priebus, I suppose.

There are four sources. I would bet that McGahn and Priebus are two of them.

Looks to me like two more witnesses for Mueller. McGahn just became part of the investigation.

He always was. And he knew that he would be part of the conspiracy to obstruct justice if Mueller was fired. He was checkmated.

He has the right to fire his subordinates. He does not have the right to obstruct justice. If he fires someone in order to obstruct justice, it is a criminal act. You, as an employer, can fire someone because you don't like them, but you can't fire them because they are black or Jewish.

Hope that helps, but I'm guessing not.

No, he cannot fire Mueller directly.

But he can easily order it to be done.

These have been rumors for a while. Admittedly, Ryan is a pretty lousy Speaker, but then, it's a hard job. I thought he was in a solid district, I don't know why he's thinking of not running again.

They’re not Americans if that’s how little they value their country, to sell it out for a tax cut tha screws about 98% of us and a stolen SC seat. I hope we impeach that Gorsuch effer.
