(131,129 posts)Only the deputy attorney general who appointed Mueller can fire him and only for cause. But Trump could fire the DAG, and on and on; 'Saturday night massacre,' or revolution???

(16,793 posts)The Deputy AG is in command here and so far he has not pulled the plug on Mueller.
Robert Mueller is no dummy. He knows how to go about these things. Jim Comey is an ally in this investigation. If there be another Saturday night massacre, rest assure Humpty Trumpty will come crashing down and his corrupt administration along with him.

(4,406 posts)so I imagine if Trump fires Mueller he'll try to wrap up as much of what he can in those 30 days (ideally, from my perspective, while leaking like a sieve) and then hand a report over either to Congress or to the next investigator.
