re: #155 I cannot.

The least “Destroy The Entire Country” option is option 4 and that one still makes Watergate look like a disagreement about pizza toppings.

Then there’s option 5, Mueller is fired, Republicans close ranks, Democrats unable to win majority thanks to gerrymandering and voter suppression. I can’t really speculate on what happens after that, except *BOOM*

I see option 5 as more likely than 3 or 4.

Option 6:

Trump keeps talking about firing Mueller, but can’t get anyone to do it for him. And his own team can’t get united behind the idea.

Look… even if Sessions quits (which I can’t really see happening, only because Sessions is enough of a stooge devoid of principles), Rod Rothenstein becomes acting AG. Trump could do to Rothenstein what he did to Sally Yates, but that’s assuming his team is unified behind the idea. I don’t think they are. See this appointment of Mooch as WH comms director… Bannon was/is opposed to that shyster, and Trump did it anyway. This could devastate his inner circle more than you think.

In the end, it’s another empty threat, Sessions doesn’t quit, and Trump’s legal team of Sekulow, Cobb, Dewey, Cheatem and Howe continue to be outmatched and outwitted by the varsity squad.
