http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/11/who-is-matthew-whitaker-attorney-general-jeff-sessions-resigns-at-trumps-request.html
Appearing on CNN in July 2017 before he was in his current position as Sessionss chief of staff Whitaker mused about a scenario in which Trump might fire Sessions and replace him with a temporary attorney general. Whitaker noted that federal regulations still gave the attorney general power over the budget for a special counsel. That temporary replacement, he then said, could move to choke off Muellers funding.
So I could see a scenario where Jeff Sessions is replaced with a recess appointment, Whitaker said, and that attorney general doesnt fire Bob Mueller, but he just reduces his budget to so low that his investigation grinds to almost a halt.
No way in hell we let Trump get away with this.
Over my fucking dead body.

on in style. Wouldn't that chap Trumps ass!

And use the courts to block that mode of funding, too.

There may be other dead bodies (figuratively) before it is over. The dummy in our WH is promoting violence, I will give him words that cut like a sword. "The word is greater than the sword."

He also has piles of indictments sitting on the books, many already at the courthouse.
