What do you think would happen?
Whoud there be mass protests?
Would Congress appoint a new SP?
Would impeachment be more likely?
How would you react?
Asking for a friend!

I think there would be a lot of talk of impeachment, but not among those who could actually make it happen.
It SHOULD scare everyone if that happens. It would be an unprecedented abuse of power.

If it happens and Rump gets away with it, it would be a sign that our democracy is incredibly weak.

Can you even begin to imagine the reaction of conservatives if Bill Clinton had fired Kenn Starr?
You might be tempted to think they would have resorted to "second amendment solutions", but these blustering blowhards are generally too chickenshit for that.
I don't know what will happen if Trump does it. But it would be a constitutional crises, a direct assault on our democratic institutions and traditions. It is the type of thing third world dictators do, and I do not have a single doubt that conservatives on this forum would be cheerleading for Trump as he did it (can you imagine their reaction if Hillary were prez, and fired an independent counsel?)

My twitter feed is all over this!
This is exactly why conservatives are - rightly so, and deservedly - often called fascists.
I don't know a single lefty who wanted Clinton to fire Kenn Starr, and I don't even recall it coming up as a plausible issue.
I do not have a single doubt that there are many righwing message boarders who will put on cheerleading skirts and wave pom poms in cheerleading for Trump if he fires Mueller.
if he tries it wont matter
state prosecutors can and are investigating this too.
trump cant get away
hes totally fucked
he is going to have to meet with the Mueller team with his lawyers next week.
then he will know just how fucked he is

Fox, which is increasingly looking like State Run News, is screaming breathlessly that Mueller is corrupt.
