Mueller is about to be fired.

Call me paranoid...

-Mueller just impaneled a Grand Jury
-and issued subpoenas regarding Jr's meeting with the Russian Attorney
-Sessions has been promised that his job is safe
-And now the man who has always disparaged vacations is leaving DC for a 17 day vacation.

I think Sessions will fire Mueller while tRump rides out the shit-storm hiding and tweeting in New Jersey.

I hope desperately that I'm wrong.

After that, it's suicide by stupidity. The Senate Intelligence committee says they'll just hire him back and give him greater power.

the Russia investigation. The whole commotion about Sessions maybe being fired was because if he had been fired the assistant AG, who is not recused, would have the power to fire Mueller. In any event, Mueller can't be fired by anybody except for cause. And there is no cause.

...and replace him with someone who would fire Mueller, but at that point it would very much resemble the Saturday night massacre from Watergate.

This is bigger than Watergate. Much bigger. So anything legal done in connection to it is also bigger.

I don't think Dump can survive this.

Have a nice vacation Donny!
