Q: Can President Donald Trump fire special counsel Robert Mueller? 
A: Not directly. Only the deputy attorney general who appointed Mueller can fire him and only for cause. But Trump could fire the DAG, or order the special-counsel regulations repealed and fire Mueller himself.[/quote]

Let's make sure your views on this are  crystal clear.  Let's pretend Mueller finds Trump's secret video diary, where Trump says ... [i]"Hi Diary, it's Donald. I'm getting worried now that Mueller is getting close to figuring some of the criminal activity I've been involved in over the years, so I need to figure out a way to block his investigation.  I'll start by getting Don McGahn and Jeff Sessions to just fire Mueller.  If that doesn't work, I'll take more direct action.  I just need to stop that investigation!"[/i]  A FBI forensics team verifies beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's really Trump on the video.

In that completely over-the-top situation, would you STILL say there's no crime in firing Mueller because Trump has an absolute right to fire the Special Counsel?

I'm just trying to figure out if you think there are any limits at all.  Can you give a straight answer?  [/quote]

We don’t have to pretend. We found Strzok and Page’s secret diary and the truth is ugly. [/quote]

I dunno.  I'm a lawyer and we're trained not to put our notes into files, because just about any notes will be used against you.  That also includes texts, of course, but texts are not usually a worry about ending up in a file.

I think you're making a bit much of a bunch of stupid texts.  Not everyone is as professional or as smart as they could be -- that doesn't somehow negate their investigations or other investigations.  [/quote]

They are not just a bunch of 'stupid texts'. They name names and talk of how they manipulated their own investigations to favor one Presidential candidate over another, amongst other things.[/quote]

No, it has not been proven that they contain any such thing.  They contain snarky comments and jokes like the "secret society" and the names they name and direct their contempt at also include Eric Holder, the Clintons and Bernie Sanders which pretty much torpedos the whole partisanship angle.[/quote]

I don't think you've read the texts.[/quote]
