Would anything realistically happen to Trump if he fires special prosecutor Robert Mueller?

With indictments of Trump's senior campaign staff, Meuller is turning up the heat.
Surprised Trump hasn't decided to fire him minutes after the indictments were announced.

Trump's approval rating is already garbage. (ie: the lowest in history)
the Repub sheep in Congress/Senate are following him like lemmings.
and Trump's zealot base would probably suck Trump's cock even more if he fired Mueller.
 
So far why would he fire him? Mueller has come up with nothing that involves President Trump or the reason he was appointed as special prosecutor in the first place. Money laundering issues, lobbying declarations from years or a decade ago have nothing to do with Mueller's appointment.

I guess we'll just keep ignoring the guilty plea from Papadopoulos. That one must not play well in the land of denial.

"In truth and in fact, however, and as set forth above, defendant PAPADOPOULOS met the Professor for the first time on or about March 14, 2016, after defendant PAPADOPOULOS had already learned he would be a foreign policy advisor for the Campaign; the Professor showed interest in defendant PAPADOPOULOS only after learning of his role on the Campaign; and the Professor told defendant PAPADOPOULOS about the Russians possessing" dirt" on then-candidate Clinton in late April 2016, more than a month after defendant PAPADOPOULOS had joined the Campaign."

Here I thought you were just another right wing American moron. Now I see you're another Russian troll. You and FIVR bunk up?

Because repeating that Trump will fire Mueller sounds good and gives the liberal snowflakes something nice to snuggle up with in their bubbles during the winter.

The goal of these indictments are going to be to make deals for the real info. If there is something to this investigation Mueller will get the evidence by making deals with people he indicts for other crimes swept up in his main search.

So, assuming Trump has something to hide, and decides that Mueller is getting to close and fires him, what happens?

It is a good question, and an important one. If Trump fires Mueller we are facing a Constitutional crisis. Congress must act, or we have in essence declared the President above the law.

He already fired Comey, and has griped ever since about the fact that Sessions allowed Mueller to be appointed by recusing himself. There's also a campaign on the right to do everything possible to discredit Mueller, which in theory would give Trump cover if he chose to fire him. These are good reasons to suspect that Trump may fire Mueller. This isn't a concoction of the left. It's based on Trump's past behavior.

A sensible reply. Not one I agree with, but sensible.

Nice quote. You forgot something though. Like linking where it was from.

Whether Congress would act to impeach would depend on the public's reaction to the firing. If Trump's approvals dip to low 30's, I think we may see enough repubs - those in districts and states where Trump isn't so popular - join with dems to support impeachment. If his approvals remain relatively stable, then probably nothing will happen except a few repubs may "jump ship" and say they support impeachment, but not enough.

Seems like the revelations about the FBI investigations into bribery and corruption under Obama is not helping Mueller due to some questionable transparency issues. He had to get some indictments handed down.

It's easy to believe things like this when you willfully ignore half of the news.

PSA: The "Repeating nonsense over and over until anyone believes it's true" strategy only works in your bubblefied sphere of dittoheads; not in the real world.

Which is unresponsive to my point - that we're assuming the possibility that Trump may fire Comey is based on Trump's past behavior. There is past precedent for it. It's not a concoction as you claim.

But it must be the truth:

He read it on thedailycaller, breitbart, saw it on Fox and Friends and Hannity, and Rush was talking about it today. So many sources.....
 
Democrats would freak out. Republicans would hem and haw and then finally claim that Obama did something similar and do nothing about it.

Is not the candidate responsible for their campaign? Not every low level worker but at least the senior staff. At a minimum the buck stops with the campaign chairman and the candidate. Or is Trump responsible for nothing?
