Latest pessimistic theories:
Trump is probably going to try to fire Mueller, but he canāt do it directly; he needs to order Rosenstein or Sessions to do it for him, although he could just fire them if they refused. Sessions is technically recused, but he already violated that when he helped to fire Comey.
Both of those are of uncertain loyaltyā¦Rosenstein appears to be of the Pence faction, but Sessions is hard to read. He was one of Trumpās earliest and most loyal supporters, heās a committed white supremacist and heās wrapped up in the Russia stuff. But thereās been a steady stream of āTrump is mad at Sessionsā stories lately. However, Iām not sure if those are real, or if they were planted by the administration to make the DoJ appear more independent.
Anyway, once Trump tries to fire Mueller, Sessions and Rosenstein will have to declare their loyalties. If itās Trump, then the Pence faction is probably toast and weāre locked in for Bannonās apocalypse. If they resist Trump, then we may see Mueller build a case and the Pence-GOP try to impeach if they can get Trumpās grip on the base to loosen at all.

Or: Once Marc Kasowitz tells Trump to fire Mueller.
āKasowitzās claimed role in the Bharara firing appears to be a sign that the New York lawyer has been inserting himself into matters of governance and not just advising the president on personal legal mattersā.

Yeah this was my immediate reaction to the news. Even including all possible existing players involved in the mine the best estimate I saw is that this mine is benefiting under one hundred people from the CEO down.
Also of very important note: 400 people in the area applied for those 70 positions.

Considering that Trump fired Comey in the exact way you describe, and then immediately got called on it within hours they probably wonāt try the same trick twice. Then again, they are by all appearances idiots.

Those same 400 will be looking for work soon.

Good to see the National Review write that openly about Trumpās odiousness (once I got past the tedious discussion of etymology).

For 0.03% of Trumpās proposed defense spending increase those 400 people could earn their comfortable miner salary.

Well, theyāre not gonna say itās because he was mean to HRC this time.
They appear to be going for āMueller spoke to Trump a few days before he was appointed, therefore heās irretrievably taintedā.

This was surprising. Did Ivanka take over the Twitter account?

Not too surprising. His base looks at that as an example of Islamic Terrorism and proof that Muslims should be kept out of the country. Itās definitely not about the victims with them.
