What some people don't realize is that that ever since Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand resigned a few weeks ago, it would leave conservative Trump appointee Noel Francisco effectively in charge of Mueller probe. Let's face it, there is no chance that Trump could expediently get anyone confirmed to replace either Rosenstein or Brand within any reasonable time. Especially if that person was going from being nominated by Trump, directly to supervising the probe. So that effectively would put the Solicitor General (fourth in line) in charge of the probe. I believe after that, it might be the local cub scout pack leader from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
While there is little chance that Francisco would do anything radical (like shut down the probe) there is little doubt that he would likely put Mueller on a much shorter leash than the spineless Ron Rosenstein, who apparently in his spare time enjoys retroactively providing authorization for investigations that started weeks prior. Francisco might even (gasp) force Mueller to concentrate on the Russian involvement in the 2016 election and whether or not there was actual collusion. You know, Mueller might have to actually follow the actual legal justification for the special counsel appointment.
Wouldn't that be a novel concept?

Several Republicans have argued that the FBI/DOJ subpoena was legitimate because as I said Scott. It was specifically written to get the data on his sexual history.
If they show that he was aware of or more importantly if they gave them money to keep them from speaking out during the election and he was aware of or worse if he directed the money to silence them, it's a violation of election law.

Trump has spent his career in the company of developers and celebrities, and also of grifters, cons, sharks, goons and crooks. He cuts corners, he lies, he cheats, he brags about it, and for the most part, he’s gotten away with it, protected by threats of litigation, hush money and his own bravado. Those methods may be proving to have their limits when they are applied from the Oval Office. Though Republican leaders in Congress still keep a cowardly silence, Mr. Trump now has real reason to be afraid. A raid on a lawyer’s office doesn’t happen every day; it means that multiple government officials, and a federal judge, had reason to believe they’d find evidence of a crime there and that they didn’t trust the lawyer not to destroy that evidence.
On Monday, when he appeared with his national security team, Mr. Trump, whose motto could be, “The buck stops anywhere but here,” angrily blamed everyone he could think of for the “unfairness” of an investigation that has already consumed the first year of his presidency, yet is only now starting to heat up. He said Attorney General Jeff Sessions made “a very terrible mistake” by recusing himself from overseeing the investigation — the implication being that a more loyal attorney general would have obstructed justice and blocked the investigation. He complained about the “horrible things” that Hillary Clinton did “and all of the crimes that were committed.” He called the A-team of investigators from the office of the special counsel, Robert Mueller, “the most biased group of people.” As for Mr. Mueller himself, “we’ll see what happens,” Mr. Trump said. “Many people have said, ‘You should fire him.’”
The Law Is Coming, Mr. Trump https://nyti.ms/2v44mih
There are far to many Republican cowards who insist that the President is not a crook or con artist. Instead they write diatribes against the free press and the dedicated leaders and investors as politically motivated enemies of the President, many of whom have risked their lives in the effort to keep America safe.
The time is coming Mr. Trump.

alky, the campaign finance allegation first came up during stormy skanks interview with the heiress anderson vanderbilt. iow, the allegation is not new nor is it really even news.
what's really at issue here and what we're commenting on is why this investigation has drifted so far afield of the original case - russian collusion in the election.
since THAT began we have a handful of folks charged with the flimsiest of process crimes, manafort charged with nonsense unrelated to trump or his campaign, and 13 worthless indictments of russians who will never return to answer the charges.
so now this entire fiasco has been reduced to trying to determine if trump paid $130,000 for a piece of ass.
the fact that your assclowns on the left can still approach this issue with a straight face is hilarious. for chrissakes, next you'll be raiding the caddyshack at mar-a-lago to see if trump took an illegal mulligan last weekend.
trump should not fire mueller, and he won't. mueller has proven himself to be a dirty cop and a partisan hack. you don't fire scumbags like him. that makes him into a martyr. you let him dig his own hole and bury himself. let him destroy HIS OWN reputation. he's a piece of shit. you don't throw a piece of shit a martyr's lifeline.
McConnell said the Senate will pass a resolution to protect Muller and Rosenstein. They have finally come up with spine to stand up to the wrongdoings of their President. No one outside of the so called brace stand beside Muller. The new Quinnipiac poll found that only 13% of Americans want him to be fired. Over 50% of the Republican voters support the legislation and the investigation into his actions that may have criminal charges.
His desperation is apparent again this morning with this one minute ago.

The Failing New York Times wrote another phony story. It was political pundit Doug Schoen, not a Ukrainian businessman, who asked me to do a short speech by phone (Skype), hosted by Doug, in Ukraine. I was very positive about Ukraine-another negative to the Fake Russia C story!
You know, Mueller might have to actually follow the actual legal justification for the special counsel appointment.
He may even ask Mueller for a status report to justify continuing his investigation.

you really don't need to be throwing any more fuel on the "you're an assclown" fire.
I watched it today. Your story is out of date. He said that it should continue. He doesn't support legislation to protect Muller. But a significant number of Republican senators support the bipartisan legislation to protect Muller and continue the investigation until they issue the final report.
"He doesn't support legislation to protect Muller."
Then why did you lie?
"McConnell said the Senate will pass a resolution to protect Muller and Rosenstein" - lying Roger Amick
"try verifying your obsessions before you post them, eh rog?"
Just another troll.
you idiot, there's no need for legislation to protect mueller. the power to fire mueller is vested in the executive powers of the president. to propose specific legislation to prevent mueller's firing would fly in the face of article II, section 1:
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/articles/article-ii
if your goal is a constitutional conflict, this is how you get there.
btw genius, alan dershowitz had dinner with trump last night. through all of your drama, hyperventilating and fainting couch histrionics, dershowitz has been a voice of reason. i'm confident that dershowitz provided excellent counsel and trump listened. so put down the smelling salts and prepare yourself for yet another mueller disappointment.
hey, keep your chin up. maybe stormy has a dress with trump's splooge on it. that'll keep mueller occupied like a kitten with a laser pointer.
the alky has himself tied in so many fucking knots it's impossible for him to keep his bullshit straight. from this point forward i predict he spends the rest of the day copy/pasting WaPo/ny times nonsense.
to propose specific legislation to prevent mueller's firing would fly in the face of article II, section 1:
Much my own opinion. Also Trump would veto it as any sane president would.
He gave a twenty minute speech and was given $150,000 for a twenty minute speech, that Mr Trump was wearing headphones during the speech and was frustrated by the slow pace of the translation. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/09/us/politics/trump-mueller-ukraine-victor-pinchuk.html
You just don't get it.
The President is convinced that he has the authority as President to fire Muller. It's not me who is confused. You are claiming that I believe that the President has the authority to fire Muller. He does not.
Much my own opinion. Also Trump would veto it as any sane president would.
what dumb fucks like the alky can't seem to grasp is that as they cry and whine about some so far non-existent 'constitutional crisis,' the remedy they advocate - legislation to protect mueller - actually creates one.
"You just don't get it."
Sure we do.
You're a pathetic liar.
But the President is considering firing Rosenstein. He would try and replace him with a loyalist who would restrain Muller. That's political suicide. Even worse for your hero, Republicans are concerned about the President and if it comes to the point where they would have to support impeachment hearings.
"the remedy they advocate - legislation to protect mueller - actually creates one."
That's their hope.
Its the left trying to manufacture a fire mueller story. Half the country believes its a bogus investigation. Trump doesn't need to fire him.
Rosenstein otoh......
And as for the Ukraine speech, the same guy paid the clintons 13M. Every trump supporter sees the double standard.
Rand Paul is putting out the same civil liberties warnings as Dershowicz. Its amazing that the ACLU has no interest in any of it.
Absolutely baller. The Clinton foundation got $13,000,000. Double standard for what? The left is trying to fake a story about the President's desire to fire Muller. Is that your belief on this story? Amazing from a master's degree genius.
The client lawyer privilege is not applicable if there was a collision of a criminal enterprise.

too late for that. now that would be viewed as overtly political. what he should do is fire sessions and put a fucking pit bull in his place. ted cruz would be perfect. and then let cruz finish draining the DOJ swamp, including firing that fucking hack rosenstein.
Yes it is only the left claiming that Trump will fire mueller. Not the right. Not the Whitehouse.
And double standard in how paid speeches for the same guy are approached.
Its amazing that the ACLU has no interest in any of it.
not really. the ACLU has morphed into a tool of the left. every once in a great while they take up what they consider to be a "safe" civil libertarian cause just for show to appear non-partisan.
the ACLU is to civil liberties what planned parenthood is to 'women's health.'
The left is trying to fake a story about the President's desire to fire Muller.
they most certainly are. when chuckles the clown gets up and showboats on the senate floor about a crisis, you can rest assured it is a complete fabrication.
the guy lies like it's his fucking job.
and you fall for it every fucking time.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan group of four senators is moving to protect special counsel Robert Mueller's job as President Donald Trump publicly muses about firing him.
Republican Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Democratic Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware and Cory Booker of New Jersey plan to introduce legislation Wednesday that would give any special counsel a 10-day window in which he or she could seek expedited judicial review of a firing, according to two people familiar with the legislation. They were not authorized to discuss the bill ahead of its release and requested anonymity.
Yep, just the left...That's why I call you idiot.....
Paul Ryan is not running for election in November. He's probably sick and tired of the President Tweetrump.
Nowhere in there do tillis or graham claim trump will fire mueller.

Trump says he can fire. Not that he will.
Idiot.
Trump seems to want to, from how often he brings it up. But I'm sure that he's reminded just as frequently why he can't. From losing Congress to losing whatever of the people's confidence he still holds, to increasing his own legal jeopardy.
WP...
Are you talking about specific things that anyone has heard Trump actually say in some official capacity?
Or are we talking about the White House Press Secretary answering questions from the media?
You mean the people on Trump's staff who are empowered to speak for him?
Or all of the people who credibly claim that they've had to talk him out of it? The lawyers on staff?
All of that, but I'm mainly thinking of the steady stream of belligerent bitterness on Twitter, his threats, his attacks on everyone involved including his own top staff. It sounds like someone who wants to fire Mueller so bad he can taste it, but knows that he'll get in trouble if he does.
You're free to disagree, and you can plausibly say "Trump never stated in public for the record that he wanted to fire Mueller", but that's weak ground to stake your position on isn't it?
Or ya could post where President Trump said he was going to fire Muller.
Obama said he had a red line.
Obama said he would buy a Volt as soon as he left office.
Obama said Kansas should be expelled from the union because of stupid freemartin farmers...
Trump's WH....you are either with me or out...

I have heard official White House statements made over and over that they are not considering firing Mueller.
The fact that the media asks the question, and the press secretary answers... is about the media bringing it up.
You do understand this, correct?
I never said that the President was going to fire Muller. He wants to, and Steve Bannon said that Trump should fire Rosenstien, and write an executive order that would repeal the ruling from 1999, then he would be able to replace Rosenstine with his choice of assistant director, who then could either fire Muller.
One thing is certain is that Scott would support the scheme with a 500 word diatribe in support.
I have heard official White House statements made over and over that they are not considering firing Mueller
Uh huh, right after they say that they've had the lawyers look into it and they've decided that Trump can fire him. LOL. Spending time and resources, and injecting controversial opinions, because it's some that they'd never consider. What I "do understand" is that the press spokesman offers throwaway lines like that to assuage the most gullible of Trump's core supporters.
The fact that the media asks the question, and the press secretary answers
That is even too simplistic for a sycophant like you CH......The part you missed is that chucklebee brought up that he thinks he can fire mueller and the press responded and chucklebee ducked....BTW, she is an embarrassment to the country with her constant we've already answered that and ask someone else responses,,,,,It is obvious you abhor all press reporting of trump, but with his tweets giving away his plan on syria just shows his inability to keep his mouth shut when blustering to the world...Too bad he never served and ducked military service like the chickenshit he really is...
