He can call it a witch hunt all he wants but if a jury based out of Manhattan is deciding the fate of Kush and Don Jr., then things aren't looking so up and up in Trumpland.

It never works.

No. Deputy AG needs to be confirmed by the senate. There are also a number of people below Rosenstein who most observers agree would not go along with the firing. He would have to fire several layers of people to achieve the outcome of getting rid of Mueller.

Because he's a religious nutjob who believes that it is necessary to bring about the end times. Seriously, that's why evangelicals support Israel, because they believe the Jews need to have it so the messiah can come back, or something like that. It's not because they have some love for the Jewish People.

See you doubters. Knew Jared and Ivanka were keeping him in check.

I disagree with the last sentence. In addition to Jerusalem being crucial to the end-times, Evangelicals believe the Jewish people are God’s chosen people, and as such we need to support them. So, Evangelicals may not have a particular love for any specific Jewish people, but they generally have a favorable opinion of them as a whole because of their faith.

IME this is a relatively recent phenomenon that at least has grown tremendously during my lifetime. When I was a kid (1970s) it was liberals who were far more supportive of Israel. The evolution of the religious right, the evolution of the right wing in Israel, and the evolution of the war on Islam have all played a part in this.

And the last US President to take part in Israel actually making peace with its neighbors and giving up a lot of land in the process was an Evangelical Christian - Jimmy Carter. (could make an argument for Clinton under Oslo there, but many people wouldn't consider the semi-autonomy in the WB to have been giving up land.)

Bloomberg reported early on Tuesday that Deutsche Bank, the German bank that serves as Trump’s biggest lender, had been forced to submit documents about its client relationship with the president after Mueller issued the bank with a subpoena for information.

It’s probably fair to say, ime, that Evangelical support of Jews really isn’t coming from a place of empathy or compassion for them as people, but just from the fact that they think that’s what their religion requires.

I think the rage is what's keeping him alive.

Amazing that this has received no outrage.

Protest fatigue is real. Barely a whimper about this and the tax reform bill that recently passed through Senate. Earlier in the year there would be protests on the street.

I guess I just have way less faith in the US Senate than you guys do. I can 100% see them approving Joe Arpaio for deputy AG after Trump whacks multiple layers of career DoJ employees.

Trump is facing two fronts. One is the FBI and Mueller. The other is TMZ/National Enquirer. He may dodge one or the other but he won't be able to dodge both.
