This column agrees with what I have been saying – Republicans in Congress won’t stop Trump from getting Mueller fired.
Update: Chuck Grassley spoke up but nothing from McConnell and Ryan.
Update: Republicans say Mueller doesn’t need more protection but shouldn’t be fired
Update: Trump thinks he can fire Mueller
I don’t think they will do anything if Mueller gets fired. Sad!
Update: I still think there’s a good chance Trump will get Mueller fired. This tweet points out Republicans haven’t said there would be consequences. Trump is angry and I assume he is hiding something. All Republicans who enabled Trump will be guilty too if it turns out Trump is guilty of collusion, obstruction, money laundering or something else.
Update: The White House has sought guidance on whether or not they can fire Mueller.
