Perhaps most consequential for Robert Mueller’s investigation, sources said Trump has discussed a plan to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions. According to two Republicans in regular contact with the White House, there have been talks that Trump could replace Sessions with E.P.A. Administrator Scott Pruitt, who would not be recused from overseeing the Russia probe. Also, as an agency head and former state attorney general, Pruitt would presumably have a good shot at passing a Senate confirmation hearing.

He knows that massive indictments are about to hit.

He is going to gamble that the people will become numb to it.

Prepare for action.

2. Heck, put Ben Carson in charge of Transportation, and Elaine Chao in charge of Defense

for maximum efficiency

3. Geez

*What* is going on over there?! Not saying that any of them are really qualified for their posts to begin with but it's not like you can just move people around to vastly different posts like that.

4. I hope that Mueller can start dropping the hammer.

5. He's digging his hole deeper

6. While this article may seem like opinion, the general opinion

is certainly shared by other media outlets, including CNN:

10. I have a suspicion that some senior Republicans and White House staff are leaking it to kill it

[OregonBlue]

7. I keep asking my self when the GOP Congress are going to get tired of looking

like Trump's butt boys. I guess they really don't care if we all think they have brown noses and lips and 0 self respect.

8. My my, that would not be good optics

9. I would not be surprised.

He's trying to get as many loyalists in position as possible.

11. They might as well scream at the top of their lungs "I'm guilty as hell".

Because these actions would certainly indicate that.
