You should all be so lucky to have such a reasonable, thoughtful, moderate Trump supporter in your midst, fellow POGgers.

Please don't talk about other posters.

It's utter bull**** of course. Sometimes you not only have to punch a Nazi, you have to actually fight them to the last ****ing man.

So do we have to wait for exactly that moment before tyranny becomes apparent? Might there be some context clues before then? Maybe something about the President of the United States actively trying to discredit the fourth estate?

Interesting this got leaked after it has become clear there is no evidence for this.

I hope Trump does fire Mueller. Comey and Mueller, don't let the door hit you on your way out!

what was the evidence that became clear that Trump didn't commit obstruction of justice? I must have missed that.

There are a ton of laws you know. Is your insinuation that in 71 years Trump has never broken a single law? Because that would be ****ing amazing. Like, Kim Jong Il 13 holes in one in a single round levels of amazing.

Maybe he truly is a god king.

I believe that you are moderate compared to others, and that is ****ing terrifying because those less moderate must actually think he is a god in man's clothing.

I think you are conflating the inter-/intra- distinction, here.

Even still, nigh impossible, but if you look closely, Trump's tiny feet never actually touch the ground, so maybe.

Isn't the whole point of a "special prosecutor" that Trump cannot fire him?

wat? How does this make a lick of ****ing sense? You said that there was evidence that Trump didnt obstruct justice. What is the evidence?If the evidence is that no evidence has yet been revealed while the people investigating are gathering evidence... that doesnt support your point.

The first litigation lesson I ever learned: "story beats no story"

It is completely standard for evidence revealed during an ongoing investigation not to be disclosed to the public, for what I hope are some obvious reasons.

The absurdity of "you can't investigate me unless you have already evidence" should also be salient for anybody with intellectual scruples, setting aside the evidence already out there (the associations, the ass-kissing, and the election interference, all of which conveniently tie together without the need of aliens or international, collusive bankers).

The Attorney General shall inform the Special Counsel in writing of the specific reason for his or her removal.

28 CFR 600.7

The AG's termination authority is not absolute, though. See Nader v. Bork (holding the firing by the AG of the special prosecutor into the Nixon controversy illegal). Granted, the exact contours of the SP office have changed since then, but the general precedent, I believe, still holds - unless they aren't doing their job and correctly, you can't touch them.
