If Trump fires Mueller to prevent indictment of Junior, then what?

[Stuart G]

Will Junior be indicted anyway?
Will Republicans support Trumps firing of Mueller?
If Junior is indicted , then what?

Hell, I haven't got a clue..just asking ??

[Renew Deal]

1. Trump needs to understand that nothing will save him/them

Eventually, justice will prevail and most of the people are young enough for the law to catch up to them

[Stuart G]

4. Perhaps you are right..the good guys sure got those behind Watergate...and

I never thought I would see Mitchel, Haldeman and company spend some time in the slammer..but they did.

[Chasstev365]

2. General Strike!

Your scenario simply cannot be tolerated by the American public. Bring the country to it's knees!

[elleng]

5. I agree, appropriate, but

haven't had a General Strike in this country recently, right?

[Stuart G]

6. I do not recall one. In the 40s there was strike that Truman ended..(I think, not sure)

[elleng]

10. 'The 1952 steel strike was a strike by the United Steelworkers of America against U.S. Steel

and nine other steelmakers. The strike was scheduled to begin on April 9, 1952, but President Harry S Truman nationalized the American steel industry hours before the workers walked out. The steel companies sued to regain control of their facilities. On June 2, 1952, in a landmark decision, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952), that the president lacked the authority to seize the steel mills. The Steelworkers struck to win a wage increase. The strike lasted 53 days, and ended on July 24, 1952, on essentially the same terms the union had proposed four months earlier.'>>>

I was joking, actually, as such nationwide actions don't seem to be in this country's DNA.

[Chasstev365]

9. To my knowledge, there has never been a general strike in the USA.

[elleng]

11. Right.

3. Then 2018 becomes a referendum on Russia

And Cheetolini's viability as a leader is pretty much over.

7. The peasants with pitchforks and torches will march over to "the Hill"!

[Girard442]

8. Remember, laws don't enforce themselves.

If Trump is going to be removed from office, actual people with actual power are going to have to do it (by following the law, we'd hope). Whether there are enough of those people with enough support is anybody's guess right now.

[Leghorn21]

14. Yes - I remember reading early on in this...this thing...that "Courts can make decisions,

sure - but they can't ENFORCE them."

thanks for your post, 442 (chilling as it is)...I'd say it's the #1 question on many people's minds, and has been for a while...

sigh

12. If Trump fires Mueller, Mueller will successfully sue to get his job back nt

[Stuart G]

13. Sessions appointed Mueller, can't he fire him too? just asking...

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. Sessions actually did not hire Mueller, & that is a significant point.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed him, and is the one who can fire him.
It was written this way when they drew up the paperwork to hire Mueller as Special Counsel,, cause Rosenstein knew
Trump might try to fire Mueller too, and so he -Rosenstein - has publicly stated he will not fire Mueller, that Trump has to go thru him.
Leaves Sessions unable to perform one of his lapdog tricks.

Should there be someway that Mueller is fired, Senate Dems, specifically Schumer, has said Mueller can be re-hired via Congress, and would then be free to continue the case.

[Stuart G]

16. What if the Republicans do not go along with Schumer on the rehiring ?

Again just asking....anything can happen...I never thought Trump would be nominated, let alone elected. I never thought Nixon would resign, yet he did..

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. I hear ya. Seems surreal, doesn't it?

What the "good " guys are counting on is, since all US House members are up for re-election next Nov.,
the Republicans will not piss off the voters.
33 Senate seats are also up for re-election.

Right now, today, there are some Republicans in Congress who appear to be under investigation for
illegal campaign money from Russians ( McConnel is one) and/or collusion with Russians to rig the election.
Probably before I even finishing answering this, there is more info. coming out.

right now, it looks like Trump is connected to that meeting, no way he could have not known about it.
Kushner, Ivanka, Don Jr. and Eric Trump are already being investigated for money laundering, plus other crimes, and they CAN be charged by both state and Feds.

[marylandblue]

18. The regulations state he can only be fired for "good cause."

That's a legal term used in labor law and is a common requirement in union contracts and civil service protection. It's the reason it takes years to fire bad teachers and you need a crateload of documentation to do it. Firing him based on a one-page memo ala Comey is not going to cut it.

[MFM008]

17. Thought of this earlier
