TPM: A very, very dangerous situation

"If and when Trump fires Mueller he will have shown through his actions that he will not allow any investigation of Russia and his campaign to go forward. Bob Mueller is one of the most respected law enforcement officials in the country. His integrity and independence are considered beyond reproach. If one insists on looking under the veil at his own political leanings, he is a Republican – both a registered Republican and the appointee, as FBI Director, of a Republican (George W. Bush). If Mueller is not acceptable to Trump as an investigator, clearly no legitimate investigator is or ever will be."

Problem is that if Al Qaeda or North Korea or Isis launches an attack, half of the country will think it is a deliberate attempt by Trump to try to postpone his problems.
They'd probably be right too, unfortunately.
