Former GOP rep: If there is nothing to hide, why does Trump try to fire everyone?

Trump said he did not attempt to fire Trump, but if he did Trump supporters would not have an issue with that. Nothing matters.

Didn’t we hear the same thing about Hillary and her basket of non-deplorables?

I don't understand this concept of "trying" to fire someone. If you have the authority to fire someone (which Trump does in this case) you either fire them or you don't fire them. Mueller is still employed which logic (in very short supply on the left) would tell you means he wasn't fired. This is a non issue. Just like a while back when the leftist media all together started parroting "Trump better not fire Mueller" to get this idea in everyone's head that Trump was going to fire Mueller even though he did or said nothing whatsoever suggesting he was going to fire Mueller. Weak propaganda from the left.

I seem to remember the Dems getting in a tizzy when the rumor was flying around Washington that Trump was going to fire Mueller and making war plans.  Now as usual we get a rehash of the leftist media’s attempt to destroy Trump with sourced stories and their friends in the MDL are following right in line.

Even if they can't get him on the collusion charge, Trump is showing a pattern of behavior in his behavior that is making a strong case for Obstruction of Justice.

Right out of the DNC talking points.

The whole point of this Russia nonsense from the beginning has been to try to entrap Trump or someone close to him in a low level process crime. They are so incompetent in a year they haven't even accomplished that much.

That is not the definition of entrapment, but I am glad to see that the 2 guilty pleas moved the dial from nothingburger.

When she was under investigation for her private email set-up.

Entrapment? Trump is doing it to himself, he was the one who fired the acting AG, he was the one who asked for a loyalty pledge from Comey, he was the one who fired him, he was the one who got mad when Sessions recused himself, he is the one who is now threatening to fire McCabe, he is the one who tried to fire Mueller. It's all of his own doing, if he didn't fire Comey there wouldn't even be a special counsel.

The only thing factual in your statement is Trump fired Comey (for sheer incompetence). The rest of it is hearsay or just made up.

With all the corruption and doomsday plans being cooked up at the FBI firing Comey and asking for LOYALTY was a wise move 

 

I wonder if Trump knew just how bad it was, when he axed Comey. Comey will be lucky to not see jail time

He commit perjury in front of Congress so I wonder when the charges are coming.

One thing for sure there was an attempt to hijack the election. One by the DnC, which is well proven another emerging from the FBI.

Hey past look over there Russians 

 

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

Someone catch me up please.  When was Mueller fired?

 

As for Comey, he deserved to get fired.  Be botched the whole email investigation, and did it well.  As NB said, he should see some jail time for that.   And I doubt he will get a commuted sentence as the other traitors did under the previous administration.

The president (any president) has the plenary power to fire the FBI Director and many other people.
