I don't see much dissension, certainly not enough where Trump might think twice before firing Mueller. But then again, given what we know, *something* is keeping him from doing it. He's let the investigation go on this long, so what exactly would force his hand NOW? My only theory is that he and the GOP Congress are laying the groundwork for poisoning/undermining/dismissing the eventual report and any resulting indictments rather than outright killing the investigation entirely, which would likely be rather explosive, even among some Republicans.

claiming he's committed made up crimes he hasn't committed, and send him to prison. Putins done this to many in his country too.
