    Oh the bad guys are winning.   They are winning bigley.   The shennanagans they will pull are endless.   They will keep special counsels going until we run out of special counsels.  

    Another complication is that under the independent counsel statute, Trump can't fire Mueller. Short of impeachment, only the attorney general — in this case, Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — can do so. And it was Rosenstein who appointed Mueller in the first place.

    However, Trump could follow the example of Richard Nixon, who eventually got rid of Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor during the Watergate scandal, in October 1973. The turn of events was known as the Saturday Night Massacre.

    Nixon directed Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire Cox, but Richardson resigned rather than comply. So Nixon turned to Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus — who also resigned.

    Eventually, Solicitor General Robert Bork, abruptly promoted to acting attorney general by his superiors' resignations, carried out Nixon's order.

    The result was Nixon resigned rather than be impeached. One can only hope Doofus Donny is a copycat and will follow the exact same path as Nixon did  to his annhilation/destruction/defeat. Hope is good. It's all we have. Thank you for your thoughtfuly analysis Shar! :)
