Why did Trump say this ??

"I have absolute right to do what I want to do with the Justice Department." ??

Because he is thinking of firing someone? And who might that be? I'm thinking Sessions or Rosenstein?

This could be the best thing to happen. Why?

Because if he fires Sessions, it will create a big stink, even with a lot of Republicans that like Jeff Sessions. There would be talk of impeachment. That would make it almost impossible for him to fire anyone else. This would make Mueller's job more secure, in my opinion.

Go ahead, Trump.

Fire Sessions.

In tRump world, everything works in HIS favor. No accountability. No consequences. Must be a nice place for him to live.

With a better more obedient yes man that'll fire Mueller, then he'll deny he had anything to do with it. Innocent people don't act like him.

My view is that the GOP Congress would do nothing as long as Trump signs what they put in front of him.

That's his wishful thinking again--he really thinks he's a dictator and Republicans are his collaborators.

He thinks Democrats are his vassals too, just an ungrateful, surly bunch who aren’t groveling the way they should.
