I was listening to Joy Reid's show....

and I heard a lady who was republican say that Trump has the constitutional right to fire someone and stop any investigation he wants. She continued to say that Trump is the president and he can do anything hen wants to stop what he thinks will harm the country. I did not catch the lady's name, but WOW! I wonder if stayed at a Holiday Inn last night? Umm! Hey lady Trump is that anything that will harm the country! I am not sure if she right, but he can have the SP investigator fired before the truth is told! "LORDY, I hope we hear the truth"?

investigation, legally, Nixon would have finished out his term. It's like saying I can rob a bank. Yeah, sure, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to jail. Actually, he can't fire the SP but the AG can. So Rosenstein would have to fire Meuller. Kamayla Harris during Comey's testimony was trying to get Rosenstein to say he would put in writing the Meuller was completely independent but he wouldn't say that. I think that's why Burr tried to shut her down.
