The media buzz around Meuller…
Two weeks ago as the President began to ratchet up his rhetoric against the Russia investigation, the press spent four days trying to drum up a narrative that Mueller was about to be fired, setting off a constitutional crisis. The basis was that the President was frustrated, attacking Mueller directly (which hadn’t happened before) and his past firing of Comey made it at least plausible that he might do something irrational. In supporting the narrative, CNN spent the weekend asking every GOP senator they could find whether they would support firing Mueller. As anyone could imagine, they were not supportive, and their solicited statements served to further whip up urgency that Mueller’s days were numbered. I truly don’t believe that anyone in the media thought that was really on the table; instead, a narrative to fill a slow news cycle on a Sunday.
Far more plausible is that the President ratcheted up his rhetoric because he had been promised by his lawyers the probe was going to wrap up soon. Against the President’s instincts, John Dowd had been promising him that compliance (not bravado) would carry the day. That’s not the President’s natural way, but he relented. The result was a probe that continued, and when his lawyers brought him the news that he was about to be asked to testify, he blew up at both his counsel (who he promptly dismissed), and without trust in their guidance, lashed out again in frustration. While that is petulant, childish and wholly unpresidential, that’s been no different from most of his tweets over the past year. It’s equally likely that a president who never seemed to collude with his Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, OMB chief or House and Senate leaders, also never took the time to collude with anyone on his staff talking to Russia (albeit more out of ADD than any principled stand), and is frustrated that his job is to put out a message, and yet Russia (and Stormy Daniels) have been the message over and over.
If the President didn’t understand with Comey, he understands now that the end of Mueller is the end of his administration. I can’t imagine any responsible person on either side of (or even 50 miles from) the aisle that wants any part of a president who actively colluded with an enemy nation to win his election. If that’s proven, all agree that he’s done. Further, if Mueller is fired before completing his work, the best possible outcome for the White House would be a re-start with a far more difficult prosecutor with far more reason to dig. The president firing Mueller is most likely the dream scenario for those starkly opposed to this president. Far more likely is that it drags on for another year, hangs shade over all of Washington for years to come, further pulls all of America toward the far right and far left, and we all spend the next 3 (to 7?) years reading what Jimmy Kimmel used to call “mean tweets.” These days that seemed like an antiquated characterization… These days, they’re just tweets.

Seriously, I hate that the press has become this kind of “hype” man you gotta read four five different sources to get the real story and even then you’re confused. I wish they’d stop reporting so Mueller can do his job and get this foo outta herre, because you know something is there. Trump is stupid but he’s not that stupid, if AND when he can’t take it anymore we’ll see the tweet.
The initial plan “A was to help Hillary get elected but if she did not, Mueller, is now doing plan “B of the insurance policy that Strock and Page talked about in Andy”s office, that is, they started with the fake dossier, then with others, were illegality unmasking and gathering information via NSA about persons who worked with Trump”s campaign, so that they could initiate a false Russia Collusion narrative trying to get Trump impeached, that would protect their own a**es from getting caught because they all are guilty exonerating Hillary and trying to hide from the Uranium One scandal. -That”s it! – Here”s the chronology: Trump fires Comey, he then meets with Mueller, then he (Comey)leaks information via his buddy to the media, Sessions is threatened and accused of lying, he”s scared, so he rescued himself, that brings in Rosentine who they wanted. He then takes over, hires Mueller as a special counsel, even tough there isn”t any crime committed, to start the phony Russian Collusion narrative witch hunt, but while doing so, the Uranium One deal surfaces, now Mueller doesn”t know what to do because he”s involved in it, so in order to protect his a**, he”s now digging for anything that he may find to help himself to get out of this mess that he”s gotten into. Mueller, if you are reading these comments please give me your “Amen to what I said above because you know it”s the truth.
