The fundamental problem with equality of results philosophy.
Not enough ( group of choice ) cops/firemen/brain surgeons? Lower the entry standard. Testing unfair because of illiteracy? Allow readers for tests.
Firefighter test unfair because small people ( women ) can't carry a 200 pound dummy down a ladder? eliminate that test. Who cares who dies? This is a higher calling.
To be fair I may demand to be hired for a Judge position despite never opening a law book. I watched Night Court.
Thank the deity of your choice I'm joking about the Judge thing. Bullies would be forced to wear a pink t shirt that says "Mommy thinks I'm pretty". Politicians? There's this Egyptian thing with scarab beetles I saw in a Mummy movie.
And the balls on the guy to take "Terminal Leave" until March so he can get Retirement benefits. Hell no to Retirement benefits for that guy or anyone else tied to this.
Also, hopefully some arrests are coming soon. Resignations aren't enough.
So what would be the legal issue if Trump does fire Mueller?
Doesn't have to a be a "legal" issue - this is the left we're dealing with.
They would LOVE it if P45 fired Mueller; The Machine could then crank up the "OBSTRUCTION!" chants.
But he didn't, and isn't going to; Mueller is an insurance policy of sorts, if you catch my drift - if Mueller was Our Guy, and ultimately "exonerates" P45, here come the chants of obstruction. But he's not, which will work to our advantage when P45 is "exonerated."
So, the left is claiming P45 wanted to fire Mueller. Aha, OBSTRUCTION!
It's a pathetic ploy, to be sure, but their collective magazines are empty from the past year of Muh Russia! and they've been reduced to squirting out squibs and hoping to hit someone in the eye.
The Machine doesn't play by the rules; they've been god for so long, and gotten away with it for so long, they know no other way.
But, in order to have a decent chance at prosecutions (especially considering the potential players), WE have to.
P45 has remained above the fray.
As has AG Sessions (who has given every appearance of not doing squat so far...unless one has been paying close attention...)
Why? Can't have the appearance of (or worse, actual) obstruction when the cases go to court (tribunals, in many cases, is my guess).
Yea right, that’s why he stepped down a day after the FBI saw the FISA memo and the day the House votes on its release. Sure. That’s it. Now the other media sheep have their talking points. Go spread the gospel.
Who do you think you’re kidding at this point? #ReleaseTheMemo
Over the span of mere minutes, CNN's @Acosta went from saying McCabe voluntarily quit to implying Trump obstructed justice by firing him. What in the world is going on at that network?
Wray needs to step in here and set the record straight.

How devastating must the House Intel report be if the FBI director went from threatening to resign if McCabe was removed to forcing McCabe out after viewing the report?

EXCLUSIVE: FBI’s Own Political Terror Plot; Deputy Director and FBI Brass Secretly Conspired to Wage Coup Against Flynn & Trump Posted on March 14, 2017
Mere days before Gen. Michael Flynn was sacked as national security advisor, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe gathered more than a dozen of his top FBI disciples to plot how to ruin Flynn’s aspiring political career and manufacture evidence to derail President Donald Trump, according to FBI sources.
McCabe, the second highest ranking FBI official, emphatically declared at the invite-only gathering with raised voice: “•••• Flynn and then we •••• Trump,” according to direct sources. Many of his top lieutenants applauded and cheered such rhetoric. A scattered few did not.
This was one of several such meetings held in seclusion among key FBI leaders since Trump was elected president, FBI sources confirm. At the congregation where McCabe went off the political rails and vowed to destroy Flynn and Trump, there were as many as 16 top FBI officials, inside intelligence sources said. No lower-level agents or support personnel were present.
If you are among the millions of Americans who have pondered in recent months whether the Obama-era “Deep State” intelligence apparatus and FBI are working for or against Trump, this is the first definitive proof that the country’s once-premiere law enforcement agency has gone rogue.
The non-elected hierarchy that steer the FBI have declared war on President Trump and his White House inner circle. Make no mistake.
Days after the McCabe tirade, Flynn was forced to resign. That was no coincidence. This is how secret coups waged by the top law enforcement personnel in the top law enforcement agency in any country operate. Efficiently. If the FBI wants you silenced or out of a job, you’ll be unemployed. Ask Michael Flynn and countless others.
Part of the plan hatched at that gathering was to make sure Flynn’s wiretapped conversations were leaked to the media, FBI and intelligence sources said. They were. Did the FBI leak this classified intelligence to the news media? Isn’t that a question President Trump and Congress should be posing? If nothing else, McCabe and his FBI secret council are certainly now suspects of who possibly leaked the intelligence. Seems that a number of polygraphs should be in order.
#BREAKING: Dem. Rep. Schiff says House Intel voted to release the House GOP memo by Rep. Nunes; says they would not agree to release Democratic memo as of now. @OANN
BREAKING: House Intelligence Committee Votes To Release The Memo CTH, January 29, 2018
As widely anticipated the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has voted to release the majority ‘FISA Memo’ as led by Chairman Devin Nunes. According to reports it was a party-line vote. The memo now goes to the executive branch for release approval.
Additionally, the politically constructed counter-memo, led by minority leader Adam Schiff, received a supportive committee vote making it available to the full House of Representatives. However, following the same procedural process as before, the Schiff Memo was not approved for public release (via Executive branch), until the full House has an opportunity to review it.
Because the Schiff Memo was not released to the public; and because the committee is making Schiff follow the same rules applied to Nunes; and because the content of the approved release is adverse to Democrats' corrupt interests; Adam Schiff rushed to the microphones to complain:
One step closer! House intel committee has voted to #ReleaseTheMemo. Next step @realDonaldTrump. Americans will soon be able to make their own opinions on this information. #MemoReleased
(1) I haven't seen the Schiff memo (2) I have no idea what it says (3) It hasn't been made available to me (4) I'm not aware of it being made available to anyone in House (5) I can't even confirm it exists yet. The opp is true for the #FisaAbuseMemo made avail week before last.
It truly doesn't get any more insane than the @HouseDemocrats & @RepAdamSchiff asking to declassify & release a memo to the public just now that they wouldn't even allow the House Intel majority members to read before voting.
The FISA abuse memo names McCabe. If it fingers him in the surveillance abuse, should he simply be summarily removed from office (as happened this morning) or also investigated and INDICTED? Introducing false evidence (Hillary-funded, Russian-sourced dossier) in court is a FELONY.
Did authorization for the dossier-related FISA application rise up the chain of command to AG Lynch? was President 0bama read-in on the FISA decisions?#FISAabuseMemo
When people tell me that their votes don't count or their voices don't matter, I'm going to say to them:
"On January 29th, 2018, we retired the 2nd in command at the FBI & our collective voices released a bombshell memo on surveillance abuse." #ReleaseTheMemo #SOTU
Executive Branch Now Has Custody of Intel Memo For Review Prior to Release CTH, January 30, 2018
The media narrative engineers are busy at work attempting to cloud the constitutional framework behind the accurate, lawful, sequence of steps surrounding the Nunes House Intel Memo. Don’t fall for the tricks.
The legislative branch has now voted in committee to declassify the House Intelligence Memo on FISA-702 abuse, and systemic fraudulent DOJ/FBI use therein. The memo has been sent to the executive branch for review and public release approval.
The White House has five days to review. Any DOJ or FBI officials who have a position against public release are now responsible to make their case known to the Office of the President who is in charge of them, and the executive branch.
Specifically because the Chief Executive (President Trump) granted permission for FBI Director Christopher Wray to see the intelligence memo prior to the House Intel vote; Director Wray and Asst. AG Rosenstein had an obligation to debrief the executive on their findings. That’s why Wray and Rosenstein were at the West Wing yesterday. However, the vote last evening transferred the declassification decision to the executive.
[snip]
Following the constitutional framework, POTUS Trump now holds all the cards.
Anticipating the executive branch wanting the Tuesday and Wednesday’s media cycles to remain focused on the Presidential State of the Union address, don’t anticipate the memo release prior to late Wednesday (earliest), or, more likely, Thursday.
President Trump has keen political instincts on best timing.
With the executive holding the memo, opposing political talking-points will now shift their narrative and claim the President is undermining the DOJ and FBI with a pending release. Opposition does not want the memo released. It’s just pantomime politics.
The executive branch IS the DOJ and FBI; the President cannot, therefore, undermine himself. Media opposition have worked earnestly for two years to create a false illusion of the intelligence apparatus being separate from the executive branch, they’re not. President Trump is the Chief Executive over all the agencies; just like President 0bama was accountable for James Comey (FBI) and Loretta Lynch (DOJ) previously.
[snip]
Traditionally, Democrats would look to dilute any pending damage from the declassification release by leaking to the media the content therein. However, in this example, until actually released by the executive, any leaks of content by the legislative branch are felony releases of classified intelligence. And, remember, there’s a leak task force looking for an opportunity to cull oppositional leakers.
No doubt the corrupt officials within the FBI and DOJ, and especially those who transferred over to Robert Muellers team, have already told their media allies what to anticipate. However, if the media release their scripts too soon those black hats are, like the legislative branch, at risk of having leaked classified intelligence.
The memo remains classified, until President Trump says it is not. So it’s best to wait and see how President Trump, and the aligned White Hats, have decided to play this out.
Lastly, keep in mind the memo is not the valuable commodity in this move. The intelligence behind the memo is what’s important.
The more the opposition fights against the memo, the more momentum there is to declassify and release the underlying supportive documents. Ultimately, that’s the goal. President Trump would want to draw all fire upon him and the memo bringing increased attention to it, and simultaneously providing support to release the underlying evidence.
[snip]
Ultimately, not only does President Trump hold authority over public release of the Intelligence Memo, President Trump also holds the declassification authority for all underlying evidence used in creating the memo.
Now you see why the Democrats were/are so apoplectic about how brilliantly Chairman Nunes gamed out the strategy. That’s why Democrats and Media were so violently trying to besmirch Nunes personally. He strategically outmatched them – and they were counting on using the compartmented structure of internal classified intelligence to keep the most damaging information hidden away from public view.
Where things are today appears to have been well thought out since sometime around April, May or June of 2017.
Key strategists: Dan Coats (DNI), Admiral Rogers (NSA), Chairman Nunes (House Intel), Chairman Goodlatte (House Judiciary) and Chairman Grassley (Senate Judiciary); against the complimentary timeline of Inspector General Michael Horowitz and his year-long Justice Department investigation.
None of this is random. All of this is sequential.
Art Laffer: "Trump's first year was much, much, much better than Reagan's first year, or Kennedy's first year, or Clinton's first year. Of all the great president's for economic growth, Trump has done the most in the first year of any president I've ever seen on economics."
Pelosi can't even finish a sentence she's so flustered by the whole thing.
She's terrified.
Yet, she keeps trumpeting the party line that "Trump is afraid of the truth behind Russia", that the whole memo thing is only a "distraction", and that the Dem memo - which, by the way, nobody's looked at or read - is "the truth"...yeah, she sees the end approaching and is grabbing for straws.
Have you ever seen anything this desperate in your life?
We're now being told that there's a 'second dossier'! Every bit as credible as the first, I'm sure. The source this time? Well, according to 'The Gaurdian':
quote:
The second memo was written by Cody Shearer, a controversial political activist and former journalist who was close to the Clinton White House in the 1990s.
This is the first I've seen of this. According to the article, it was released to several select media outlets prior to the election.
The lengths at which they are willing to go to bring down Trump just proves to my how corrupt everything is and how much they don't want anyone or anything messing with the status quo.
Its funny listening to her stumble through her talking points though. Trying to use the exact same arguments about "truth" and "security" that apply to what we have EVIDENCE that HRC et al did to try and rig the election in the first place.
The lengths at which they are willing to go to bring down Trump just proves to my how corrupt everything is and how much they don't want anyone or anything messing with the status quo.
The grim possibility of life in prison...or worse...may have something to do with it:

Dan Bongino Has a Theory Devin Nunes Memo Contains References To Obama PDBs and FISA Documents CTH, Jan. 29, 2018
Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino appeared on the Tucker Carlson TV show [last night] to discuss the release of Chairman Devin Nunes' intelligence memo.
During the segment, Mr. Bongino highlighted his theory that Chairman Nunes' memo not only holds references to the DOJ and FBI use of fraudulent FISA702 application evidence, but that the memo also contains compartmented intelligence exclusive to former President 0bama’s Presidential Daily Briefings (PDB’s).

House Speaker Paul Ryan Addresses Intelligence Memo Process Questions CTH, January 30, 2018
The House of Representatives GOP leadership team held a press briefing earlier today. During the Q&A the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, was asked about the House Intelligence Committee memo that has been released to the Executive Branch. The full presser is below.
The memo remarks by Speaker Ryan occur at 15:00 of the video. [emphasis mine - FB] Notice the appropriate, constitutional, and purposeful explanation of the process. The executive branch (President Trump) and legislative branch (Ryan, Nunes, etc.) are continuing to emphasize the structural framework of U.S. government, and the separation of powers therein, to return the rule of law during the Trump administration. This is NOT accidental.
The prior administration weaponized the executive branch against its political enemies. Repeat: The prior administration weaponized the executive branch against its political enemies. U.S. citizens, Americans, were targeted by corrupt officials within the Justice Department for political purposes. Never lose this critical reference point and context.
ExxonMobil Announces Major US Investment Plans KFI AM 640 Radio, Jan. 30, 2018
Over the next five years, ExxonMobil is going to invest $50,000,000,000 into the U.S. economy. In a blog post this week, the oil giant's CEO Darren Woods says the recently passed Republican tax cut bill is part of the reason the company is deciding to invest so much in their U.S. operations. The investment is expected to help boost oil production in western Texas and Eastern New Mexico. ExxonMobil may also expand its operations on the Gulf Coast.
