       @QuodVerum What the morons peddling the McGahn sorry miss, is that despite his narcissism, he was not the person who could have fired Mueller.That was Trump.If the President wanted to fire Mueller, Mueller would have been fired.Like Sally Yates. Like Jim Comey.This whole story is bullshit.

       @Debradelai @QuodVerum What I think is that Trump used certain hire for the short run to expose those who had nefarious designs on his presidency in the ling run. Whether it was that person or he was to expose another doesn't matter. What is ironic is the number of hires who had sucked up for the task only to become rabid enemies of Trump after being told their services were no longer needed. Reminds me of "You're fired!" apprentices who denounced the show and Trump upon exiting.

       @Debradelai @QuodVerum Which is along the same lines of what Dowd said.  Publicly he was against Mueller for the optics/politics of it. But behind the scenes he was cooperating more than he even should have.Trump told us all himself he wanted the investigation and may even extend it.  I give McGahn’s story zero cred

       @Debradelai @QuodVerum It's possible that Trump wanted to use lackeys to fire Mueller in order to reduce a paper trail that could/would lead to him. It's the whole, "We can't have proof the boss wanted this" defense. Many employers will do that all the time to whistleblowers and other inconvenient-for-PR employees.Perhaps Trump had no problem firing Yates and Comey more directly because they directly broke policy and/or law; there was less blowback at stake for Trump being more open about it.

       @emichaelball @QuodVerum Only the President has that authority, dumdum.

       @Debradelai @QuodVerum Of course the President has sole and final authority, but the goal in such acts would be to publicly *claim* plausible deniability, a "you can't prove it because there's no paper trail and the President didn't directly call xyz person and order him to resign" strategy to the portion of the public out there that are idiots. It would be Presidential action through convoluted methods with no paper trail, followed by a PR game.Sounds like how Obaaaaaaaama would do things.
