Tonight’s question, greetings, and banter here. (More)
Today, after a New York Times interview where the God-King declared his family and businesses off-limits to special counsel Robert Mueller, Bloomberg’s Greg Farrell and Christian Berthelsen report that Mueller is investigating the God-King’s family and businesses. The initial probe includes a Russian money-laundering scheme that involved buying apartments in the God-King’s Manhattan buildings – an investigation begun by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, whom the God-King fired in March – as well as the God-King’s purchase of the Miss Universe pageant. Will the God-King try to fire Mueller to stop this investigation?

My guess is he’ll at least try. I don’t know if he’ll succeed. He can’t order the Klanmaster General to fire Mueller, because Sessions recused himself. He could order Deputy AG Rosenstein to fire Mueller, but Rosenstein might refuse. He could then fire Rosenstein, but he might not be able to find a replacement willing to play hitman.
In his Times interview, the God-King said he has the authority to order the FBI or any other federal agency to stop any investigation, anytime he wants. He doesn’t … and he’s about to discover that a whole lot of federal law enforcement people are more loyal to the Constitution than they are to the God-King….
Whatever the family business and Russian entanglements are, they must be incriminating and illegal as hell. Trump firing people or trashing the insufficiently loyal is so unpresidential it makes him look like a mob boss. I’m sure he will fire more people or at least try to. Time for the Republicans in congress to stand up to him and get real.
“…like a mob boss.”
Hmmmmm… Mob name? Donnie Two Scoops? The Orange Don? The Cast Iron Don? (Stuff sticks to cast iron)… Unlike the Teflon president…
I’ve been wondering if he’d fire Mueller. Wouldn’t you think the adults have warned him not to?
Why would he listen to them?
