One point that I think needs to be clear is that Trump cannot fire Mueller directly. He'd have to fire Rosenstein, have Rosenstein replaced by someone else who would then have to agree to fire Mueller. This is why it really would be like the Nixonian Saturday Night Massacre

NYT: "After receiving the president’s order to fire Mr. Mueller, the White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, refused to ask the Justice Department to dismiss the special counsel, saying he would quit instead" It would have meant firing Rosenstein

This strikes me as the moment when campaign staff realizes they’re going to lose and start leaking all the stuff that makes them look good for the next job before their coworkers leak the stuff that makes them look bad.

Re McGahn: my critical May 20 column ended thus: "He can protect his reputation, if at all, only by showing more moral courage than he has to date in telling a wayward president to try to straighten up." http://www.jostonjustice.com/2017/05/as-white-house-counsel-mcgahn-seen.html …

It is time to admit we are now in a dictatorship, due to a weak and complicit congress. Trump will get rid of Mueller one way or another, and be allowed to. He will not give an interview, he is guilty. I see no way out for America. Congress ended America for Koch money.
