Nikki Haley Breaks From Trump Legal Team on Whether Mueller Probe Should Be Shut Down: ‘No, Not At All’

by Joe DePaolo | 12:12 pm, May 6th, 2018

Without rival, U.N ambassador Nikki Haley has been the member of President Donald Trump‘s cabinet who has been most outspoken — and most likely to stray from the Commander in Chief’s stance on a given issue. And on Sunday, Haley once again broke with the president — this time on an issue of paramount importance to him: The question of whether Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s probe should continue, or be shut down.

Appearing on CBS Sunday Morning, Haley said that Mueller should see the investigation through. “No, not at all,” Haley said — when asked if the probe should be terminated. “I mean, anything that comes like this, it should play its part. It should go through the process.

The U.N. ambassador, though, didn’t stray completely from the company line.

“But they need to do it quickly,” Haley said. “For the good of the country this investigation needs to happen quickly.”

1. Wow, quelle surprise!

The time to act is NOW. Tomorrow and tomorrow creeps at its petty pace.

2. Don't be surprised

In his book, Wolff, described Haley as like trump only smarter. Best description I heard about her. She is distancing herself from trump to run for president.

3. LOL

She is smarter than rump, that puts her above dumber than...run Nikki run.

4. I think it is plausible

that she is looking for spots to subtly defy him to build up some tension, and maybe eventually get fired for not going along with some of his more ridiculous lies and/or lawlessness. Then run on a "same policies, more integrity, less baggage" platform.

5. I think

that if she runs, it will be on her sometimes anti-trump talk. When she says anti-trump stuff, she is not the only one who does so. Her voice gets lost in the crowd. She has no authority over Mueller and the investigation. She will never be called upon to actually do something about it. So she is safe from being fired.

11. Haley wanted to be Secretary of State - didn't get it

I think this is a sign of "I've really had it with Trump, it's time to save my own career."
Nikki wanted Les Tillerson's job but that's not happening.

It doesn't seem she's complicit with the Trussia mess, so why should she go down with it?

6. Correct response!

[Americanno]

7. Good move

She has a conscience.

8. No. If she had a conscience, she never would have joined this administration.

It's not like most people were unaware that her boss is a crook and a horrific excuse for a human being, including her. This woman is nothing but an opportunist, like the rest of them. She sees the writing n the wall, and she's only trying to salvage what is left of her own political career. Don't let her fool you. I say that as a South Carolinian. She's a scumbag like the rest of them. She only shows a "conscience" when it suits her politically.

9. She will [not] be missed.

10. Oh look!

A rat who thinks that shoving the captain overboard will stop her from going down with his ship! Too late, Nikki! Hope you can swim!
