Breaking!! Trump Ordered Mueller Fired Last June

Trump Ordered Mueller Fired, but Backed Off When White House Counsel Threatened to Quit

Good thing for Trump he has handlers:

"President Trump ordered the firing last June of Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation, according to four people told of the matter, but ultimately backed down after the White House counsel threatened to resign rather than carry out the directive.


The West Wing confrontation marks the first time Mr. Trump is known to have tried to fire the special counsel. Mr. Mueller learned about the episode in recent months as his investigators interviewed current and former senior White House officials in his inquiry into whether the president obstructed justice.

After receiving the president’s order to fire Mr. Mueller, the White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, refused to ask the Justice Department to dismiss the special counsel, saying he would quit instead, the people said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to be identified discussing a continuing investigation.
Mr. McGahn disagreed with the president’s case and told senior White House officials that firing Mr. Mueller would have a catastrophic effect on Mr. Trump’s presidency. Mr. McGahn also told White House officials that Mr. Trump would not follow through on the dismissal on his own. The president then backed off.
Ty Cobb, the president’s lawyer who manages the White House’s relationship with Mr. Mueller’s office, said in a statement, “We decline to comment out of respect for the Office of the Special Counsel and its process.”"
He didn’t try... According to your quote, he changed his mind. There’s a difference.
Uhhh..changed his mind after his top lawyer threatened to quit....you're right..there is a difference.
Why, is irrelevant. There was no actual attempt. I’m glad you can now see the difference. You’re welcome.

Kinda dumb, eh? I mean..that is the thrust of the article..that Trump's order was not relayed..and that his lawyer threatened to quit if it was carried out. But find comfort where you may...but..Trump gave the order--no one would carry it out..sadly..because I for one..would love for him to fire Mueller.
I will. Watching your ilk squirm, has been comforting me for the better part of a year...

Odd I was thinking the same thing....you losers that try to parse every bit of news for some sort of rhetorical refuge from Trump's idiocy. You win nothing here loser.

BTW..before you trot out the tired 'Lib' shyte...I'm an independent that despises Trump..and I'm not alone. I voted R every election except this one..because Trump is the real RINO...
 
"REMEMBER: Trump, his lawyer John Dowd and his top adviser Kellyanne Conway ALL DENIED last August that Trump ever considered firing Mueller. "
Yeah..but no one cares if you catch Trump lying..it's a given. Hence how his supporters are calling a Mueller interview a 'trap' because... for a liar..it is.
There won't be an interview. IF you listened to the entire recording of when he was asked he said PER his lawyers but he had no problem doing it...aka Lawyers will say NOPE not under oath and we want set of questions to be asked BEFORE hand or there is no interview. As there should be no interview anyways. Witch Hunt can die a lonely pathetic death.

I quit reading your nonsense the moment you made the claim of “I was thinking...” I have no time for liars.
 
Wonderful breaking news from NYT.
Idiots believe anything when it comes to painting President Trump in bad light...its the failing NYT..they couldn't find the truth with a flashlight and a map.
Fools like you believe the Alt-Right when they attack the FBI..
FBI is corrupt as hell...that is their own problem. They allowed corrupt officials in positions of power and helped Clinton get off the hook...not my problem that's THEIR issue.
 
He backed down when the White House counsel threatened to quit.
Also Don McGahn refused to order the Justice Department to fire Mueller because he disagreed with the President's reasoning, the source said.
That opens up so many cans of worms.
One, how easy Trump can be manipulated.
But more importantly an innocent man wouldn't want the person investigating him fired.
Trump obviously is not an innocent man.

Trump called for Mueller's firing in June 2017, source says — CNN

No problem. Mueller can get a grand jury subpoena that Trump-0 can't refuse.

I feel the Great Douche will claim soon.
The Great Douche Twitler Tweets were not done by the Great Douche.
As they are a written map to intents, and many states of mental mind..
As to what the group discussion were with staff. Where non reordered
interviews can be a wash, as to who said what.
