..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!

1. "Not the actions of an innocent man" n/t

2. Trump innocent is an oxymoron for the ages

3. Some people are worried that Trump is going to walk. Sometimes I am as well. But just watching his

constant rants and desperate tweets, I think he knows he is going down unless he can somehow throw a monkey wrench into the investigation.

4. It's a mystery to me why Trump doesn't just fire Mueller outright.

Does anyone think, after Helsinki, that Congress would hold him to account for anything he does?

5. He's afraid of doing it for some unknown reason(s)

He may be hearing from some Republicans behind the scenes that this *would* be a "red line" that he can't cross with them. Or maybe his attorneys have privately advised him that, legally, this would be utterly catastrophic for him. I honestly can't see how firing Mueller would end well for him- as if any of this will. And, try as he and his Republican enablers would like, there is simply no evidence that Mueller's investigation is tainted, so the blowback to him being fired would likely be unstoppable and even some Republicans probably know it (but won't say) and wouldn't be able to ignore the public outrage. Firing Rosenstein probably wouldn't go over well at this point, either.

6. Yeah, while the Congress is on a long vacation.

Perfect time.

7. The closer Mueller gets, the worse Trump smells

He's desperately looking for someone to get him some deodorant, and no one seems to have any.

8. Maybe they should make Mueller costumes.

That way you can scare the living shit out of your republican friends at Halloween.

9. Wait, now it's 17 angry Democrats?

Did I miss something or is he just pulling numbers out of his ass again?

10. I was about to make a similar comment -

The number is growing!!!

11. I think the Trump "strategy" now is simply to rile up his base.

The angrier they get, the less likely the Republicans in congress will do anything even if Mueller presents them with a pile of irrefutable evidence Trump and his goons broke the law.

Not sure that is going to work but I think they think that is their only/best option now.
