Quote:Trump will clean house. Sessions, Rosenstein and Muller will all be shown the door.
He could probably fire one of Sessions or Rosenstein without long term damage. Maybe not Mueller. If he cleans out one of the two, he couldnt cut Mueller. He *might* be able to clean out Sessions *and* Rosenstein.
Look, while a number here would probably walk into a burning pit of molten lead for Trump, many R's just tolerate him. He fires too many that you mention here he would fk the Republicans electorally the way Ford and Nixon did -- and pretty much in the same way.
Or, if he removes Mueller prior to disbandment of the investigation, I dont see a way Trump gets re-elected.
Smart play is to let the investigation wind itself out. Odds are heavy that nothing touches Trump at all for the purported 'collusion'. If it ends with a whimper, Trump can play this for the maximum amount of 'victim points' that he feeds on politically.
Smart play is also to get Sessions to resign, instead of canning him. Canning Sessions alienates mainstream Republicans. Trump won the last election by a baby hair width -- 80k votes in four states; literally less than a Darrel Royal Longhorn stadium of people. If he is smart he would go out of his way prior to re-election to alienate as few semi-reliable votes as possible. He will need them all in certain areas. Even *if* the D nominee is Kamala-style crazy.
Rosenstein is the 'who cares' there. If someone gets chopped for bread and circuses value the smart one would be him.
Quote: (Jordan may file for letters of impeachment in OP)
If he is impeached, they better move quick. Takes the House to impeach. Senate to convict. Considering the Republicans at best have a 45-50 per cent chance of retaining the House, if they are serious they need to get it done pronto. If the House does that, they will kiss their chances of remaining R to near zero.
Senate conviction wouldnt be a walk in the park either. Since Kavanaugh (a zero controversy SCOTUS pick) will only get 53-54 votes tops, I dont see any way the Senate votes to convict in impeachment for anything near this of a controversial subject.
Jordan can file the bill. House probably wont commit automatic hara-kiri to impeach. Senate will never vote to convict *if* the House impeaches.
This one is a wet dream pragmatically-wise at best to succeed.
