I'd say, contra some others, that if Trump fires Mueller now, Rs would more seriously consider impeachment, giving them the preferred Pence.
Have to see this revelation in light of Trump's threat to fire Mueller. For Trump to fire him now would look like Trump saving own skin.https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/875116735048941570 …

Would this stop Trump from firing Mueller? Who knows? What happens to the President's psyche when this leaked on his birthday?
-
Trump firing Mueller means he has to fire Rosenstein first or issue order repealing DOJ reg giving AG sole power to fire special counsel
-
And for Trump to either fire Rosenstein (a la Sat. nite massacre) or change regs, looks like MORE obstruction, raising chance of impeachment
-
Impeachment unlikely. It would have to be very bad for House Rs. But if proceedings began, Trump more likely to resign
-
He can declare victory and go home. He'd have ample financial opportunities, assuming no legal cloud or a pardon.
-
Again, none of this is likely. But whether Mueller investigates or is fired, either way Trump in far more danger now than before. <end>

And so: that could be exact reason we're getting this extremely rare news right now. It's a brush back answer to Trump's clumsy intimidation

A natural move by Muller after being threatened to be fired.

He will fire Mueller and order the FBI to cease investigating, and use today's incident as cover. Who would stop him?

It would also look like obstruction, to put it mildly.

It would BE obstruction

Intentional understatement.

Indeed, for Trump to fire him now would only reinforce Trump is committing the very crime it is confirmed he is being investigated for.

Because Trump firing Comey wasn't already clearly a desperate act to save his thin, wrinkled, orange skin? Please.

Mueller met with Senate Intell. last night. More likely leak came from committee member?
