Trump Ordered Mueller Fired, but Backed Off When White House Counsel Threatened to Quit
WASHINGTON — President Trump ordered the firing last June of Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation, according to four people told of the matter, but ultimately backed down after the White House counsel threatened to resign rather than carry out the directive.
The West Wing confrontation marks the first time Mr. Trump is known to have tried to fire the special counsel. Mr. Mueller learned about the episode in recent months as his investigators interviewed current and former senior White House officials in his inquiry into whether the president obstructed justice.
Amid the first wave of news media reports that Mr. Mueller was examining a possible obstruction case, the president began to argue that Mr. Mueller had three conflicts of interest that disqualified him from overseeing the investigation, two of the people said.

You are truly one of the worst pieces of shit to ever post on this board. Start giving up your paycheck for reparations now and then you can shut the fuck up about your racist blasts.
Ok, but he didn’t fire Mueller, so no harm, no,foul. In the meantime, we have actual texts of two FBI agents involved in the Clinton investigation showing that they gave her preferential treatment so as to better their standing when she became president.

Uh, no.
When Mueller interviews him, he can simply ask "Did you try to fire the Special Counsel?" Answering yes would show intent to obstruct. Answering no would be lying, a crime as well. Trump fucked himself.

Uh-oh.

Yup, that pretty much meets the definition of "fake news."
A guy (?) who claims to be a "journalist" posted a "story" which cites someone who told someone, who told someone something, with no names or even positions attached.

That would be kind of detrimental to that whole stable genius tack.

So when does something become “real” news? When you actually see it for yourself? When you decide that you want it to be?
Even Faux News is covering this as if it did actually occur.
