[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can Trump simply fire Mueller at this point if the heat really turns up?[/quote]

He probably could -- although the special counsel position was designed to not allow that.  It would be insane for Trump to do it, although I don't know if he realizes that.  It would be much worse than firing Comey, and that was very bad for Trump.  [/quote]

How could Trump fire Mueller? The only person who can fire Mueller is Rod Rosenstein. Can you see him firing Mueller? Trump would have to fire Rosenstein, then find a replacement who would fire Mueller. Doesn't Rosenstein's position require confirmation? So wouldn't any firing of Mueller have to wait until Rosenstein's replacement was confirmed?

Is this correct? Am I missing something? [/quote]

That’s not correct. If Rosenstein refuses to do it, President Trump can fire him and ask Rachel Bland to carry out the order. Trump has the authority to fire Mueller. The only question is the political calculation.[/quote]

But Bland would not. And would be fired. And Bronte definately would not.  And would be fired (he’s resigning anyway). No one with any professional credibility would fall out that sword.  And is there currently anyone else Senate confirmed at the DOJ who could?  Trump would run out of people to fire, and fast. And the Senate does not have the ones with Flake, McCain and Corker off the Trump train to appoint anyone else to fireMueller. [/quote]
