Trump Ordered Mueller Fired, but Backed Off When White House Counsel Threatened to Quit

Too bad he didn't fire him, would have saved taxpayers some money.

He never intended to win. He wanted the exposure for a new tv or internet show. We should consider adding fraud charges to the rest of them. The bastard.

Everything bad you say about Trump is your opinion. I believe you are honest about your opinions as well. So no matter what you think of him even at the absolute worst. He still beat Hillary.

Hyperbole

Readership is actually up.

Really?

In 2016 the average paid and verified weekday circulation of the New York Times stood at 571.5 thousand copies, a decrease from over 1.92 million copies in 2013.

Bet trump is just finding out tonight that Mueller knows he tried to fire him.

Now you're a mind reader. Got it.

Not sure why I keep hearing people say he would have been able to stop the investigation...he doesn't have the power to do that. If Muller is gone someone else does the job...same with Comey...I heard so many people say how he was trying to shut down the investigation, yet here we are months later still going. I am pretty sure at this point there is nothing aside from proving the investigation was a sham from the get go to stop it.

Guess we will see as it looks like it could be possible...however I am beginning to think this is all theater and we are being distracted from something none of are talking about.

For somebody not wanting to win, he's winning big league.

When will Hillary?

You left out this part...

"ACCORDING TO 4 PEOPLE WHO..."

LOL! Don't you know yet that articles quoting anonymous sources are FAKE NEWS 90% of the time?

Didn’t Trump want to fire Tillerson as well?

There is no try, Padawan. If Trump wanted to fire Mueller he would be in his power to do so and would've done it.

a reply to: Sillyolme

I don't care what Mueller thinks. I care what evidence shows.

Which happens to be zero.

You forget the moron didn't know any of that. He thought he was free... told the Russian spies the next day how the pressure was off now that he had fired the nut job Comey.

a reply to: Sillyolme

Have any evidence of that...like a video of him saying how after the election he would have more flexibility or some such...

That and obstructed justice by firing both people assigned to simply investigate the Russian matter, thereby attempting to avoid having evidence against him analyzed.

You know that Bill Clinton appointed Ken Starr to look into a land deal in Arkansas which eventually led to a DNA semen stain on a blue dress, and yet spawn of Satan Bill Clinton never fired Starr, even though he was clearly outside the questioned asked, right?

For someone who has nothing to hide, "believe me," and had "no business in Russia, believe me" and "everyone knows there's no collusion, believe me" Trump is surrreee acting awfully jumpy. Ordering 2 people fired, telling one of them to lay off Flynn, pledge his loyalty to Trump, motivating the FBI director that HE appointed to threaten to resign bc of the pressure to fire McCabe, sure looks like the guy doesn't want his stuff investigated. Strange.

I suppose it is absolutely futile to point out to you guys that you would be exploding, all of you, if Obama kept firing people investigating him, causing 2 people to resign rather than do what he wanted? Futile bc Obama, happy father and devoted husband is spawn of Satan new improved black version, Angelic Trump, porn-star paying/bribing would never do anything wrong.

You guys will do anything to protect the "Alt" in the "Alt-Right" including burn the former leader at the stake over questioning Jesus 2.0

That's just another lie trump likes to tell. The New York Times is not in fact failing.

He absolutely tried to fire him. Trump ordered Mueller be fired. He only backed down when his counsel refused and threatened to quit. Fortunately, Trump is too much a p*ssy to do it himself.

Yes. This is a really good example. Why do you ask?

Is there something illegal about that fact?

Trump fires investigators looking into his deals with Putin, you guys want Obama skinned (literally) because he simply stated the reality???

Did Obama have millions of dollars tied up in Russian deals constituting a colossal conflict at the time?

They already investigated. The DOJ said they were within the law.

a reply to: Scrubdog

Mueller is as dirty as they come he helped cover up both the Iran Contra affair and 9/11.

He's crooked.
