Quote:Sen. Lindsey Graham sent a sharp warning Thursday to President Donald Trump that it “could be the beginning of the end” of his presidency if he makes moves to fire special counsel Robert Mueller.
The South Carolina Republican, who in the late 1990s served as a House impeachment manager against President Bill Clinton, said Trump would be crossing a serious “red line” by ordering the ouster of the lead investigator who is probing his campaign’s ties to Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
“Any effort to go after Mueller could be the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency unless Mueller did something wrong,” Graham told reporters on Capitol Hill, where he outlined plans to introduce legislation next week that would move to block any Trump attempts to fire Mueller.

If Trump fires Sessions, Trump Republicans allies in the house and senate will turn on him, and the next few years would be a lame duck years for Trump unless all the Republicans agree to Impeach him. Even Breitbart and Rush Limbaugh came out against Trump over Sessions.

They are all shaping up to be lame duck years.
I think Trump shuts down the government. It might stay shutdown so long they impeach him.

The perfect ending to this cluster.
And the Republicans don't have the balls to do what's right. Trump is free to commit murder.

My thought exactly.
I think the "beginning of the ending" started when he descended the Gold Escalator, I mean who on earth would (or could *snicker*) vote for someone like that?
And are they really gonna try to legislate to strip Executive powers over the Executive branch? Pretty sure that would be challenged in court just on principle.

What's "right" in your opinion?
Impeach him because your candidate lost? Based on what? Bad hair?

No
If he fires Mueller just to stop an investigation he doesn't want to proceed, they will not do anything.
If the investigation is allowed to proceed, and they find something, they won't do anything.
If the investigation finds nothing, then they can do what they always do. Nothing.

Of course you were saying the same thing about the previous administration, right?
And hate to tell you, but firing Mueller isn't going to "stop" any investigation any more than it did when you chicken littles claimed firing your sudden BFF (after hating him for months) Comey, did.
You do recall all those ridiculous claims just a few short months ago, right?
