On Friday, Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier started the rumor that President Trump was considering firing Mueller.
“The rumor on the Hill when I left yesterday was that the president was going to make a significant speech at the end of next week,” she said. “And on December 22, when we are out of D.C., he was going to fire Robert Mueller.”
That explains #TheResistance’s newfound urge to “shut the country down.”
.@EricHolder is speaking the truth.
Most Americans think Trump illegally colluded with Russia.
If he tries to fire Mueller, that’s obstruction, and we’ll be in the streets.https://t.co/B6DWJx77Qu#MarchForTruth#SaturdayMorning#AMJoy https://t.co/kE2aDFN1lE

This isn’t Mueller’s first rodeo. One thing we can count on is he has been preparing for the reality that Trump may fire him since he began. He’s ready and it won’t stop investigation and indictments.

If Trump even TRIES to fire Mueller, that must be the dead-man’s-switch on the largest, longest, most aggressive public protests and general strikes this nation has ever seen. If he crosses that line, he must be driven into the ocean.

BREAKING: Rumors are swirling on Capital Hill that President Trump will Fire Robert Mueller on December 22nd!
WE CAN NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!!!

I have a strong feeling that Mueller is prepared for whatever move Trump makes. Mueller has been 5 steps ahead in this entire process.
My guess is that Mueller is secretly hoping Trump tries to fire him because doing so will play right into Mueller’s hands.
Just watch and see!

Hold your horses libs. Put the masks down and jump back into your onesies.
On Sunday, someone asked Trump if he was planning on firing Mueller, and he responded.
“No, I’m not.”

Trump did, however, express concern over the report that Mueller’s team improperly obtained “confidential attorney-client communications, privileged communications and thousands of emails.”
“It’s not looking good. It’s quite sad to see that. My people were very upset about it,” Trump stated. “’I can’t imagine there’s anything on them, frankly. Because, as we said, there’s no collusion. There’s no collusion whatsoever.”
He’s right. Mueller hasn’t found any evidence of collusion yet. If he had, we’d know about it.
But there you have it. Trump’s not considering firing Mueller. At least, that’s what he’s saying right now. Wander back to your safe space, Antifa flakes.
