President Trump is considering firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein a move that has gained urgency following the raid of the office of the Presidents personal lawyer, CNN reports.
Such an action could potentially further Trumps goal of trying to put greater limits on special counsel Robert Mueller.
This is one of several options including going so far as to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions Trump is weighing in the aftermath of the FBIs decision Monday to raid the office of Michael Cohen, the Presidents personal lawyer and longtime confidant. Officials say if Trump acts, Rosenstein is his most likely target, but its unclear whether even such a dramatic firing like this would be enough to satisfy the President. To Mr. Trump, the subpoenas suggested that Mr. Mueller had expanded the investigation in a way that crossed the red line he had set last year.

Washington DC and California. Then the Dems will take over the House and Senate and reinstate the special council law and impeach trump.
After trump leaves office the chickens come home to roost. Trump is toast.
Trump will only fire Mueller out of spite even though it gets him nowhere.

Enough Republicans would move against him in the Senate, that it would really swing things our way.
I hope he does it...

They would feel the wrath of Fox News and lose Rump's base of imbeciles.
No Republican seems brave enough to risk that.
They are a band of selfish, trembling cowards who have no courage to do the right thing.
