Special Counsel Intimidation: Friend Says Trump Is Considering Firing Mueller as Special Counsel

[spanone]

WASHINGTON — A longtime friend of President Trump said on Monday that Mr. Trump was considering whether to fire Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel investigating possible ties between the president’s campaign and Russian officials.

The startling assertion comes as some of Mr. Trump’s conservative allies, who initially praised Mr. Mueller’s selection as special counsel, have begun trying to attack his credibility.

The friend, Christopher Ruddy, the chief executive of Newsmax Media, who was at the White House on Monday, said on PBS’s “NewsHour” that Mr. Trump was “considering, perhaps, terminating the special counsel.”

“I think he’s weighing that option,” Mr. Ruddy said.

1. Why not!!

King Trump can do anything

[Sanity Claws]

2. So will Trump condemn Ruddy as a leaker?

Of course not.
Why would Trump discuss this kind of issue with someone outside the administration? It is wholly inappropriate. But everything Trump does is inappropriate.

4. Trump has a friend?

That is the bigger news to me...


That he is thinking of firing Mueller? That's no surprise....I assume he has been considering that on his daily update of his hit list....

But that someone even calls themselves Trumps "friend"?
