I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabes boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier,

Trump can't. The attorney general would have to fire him, and Sessions recused himself from matters related to the investigation, so it would be up to deputy AG Rosenstein.

It'd also be the political equivalent of standing over a corpse with a smoking gun in your hand when the police show up.

Doesn't look good at all, and he knows it.

Let's be clear, here. Trump himself does not understand this. His aides and lawyers do.

Let's also be honest, Trump is actively trying to fire Mueller. But, again, everyone not named Trump understands that that would be the end of the Trump presidency, regardless of how he does it.

It's also become harder for Trump to fire Mueller after he's validated part of the investigation, with his recent sanctions being heavily influenced by the Russian indictments last month.

It doesnt matter if Trump gets someone else to fire Mueller either.

Trump made no effort to hide his intent to the public numerous times.

Any sort of move against Mueller has Trumps fingerprints all over it.

Short of him being caught chatting with Putin in a Manchurian Candidate-esque plot, they won't impeach him. They'll say it was "mistakes and bad judgement" but won't impeach even if he deserved to be. Trump wants this to go away to protect his political future and his business dealings. But I doubt his presidency is at risk.

But didn't he try?

Also he's still picking fights with the Intelligence Committee, he may in fact be the most stupid person to hold office in our lifetimes.

It wouldn't surprise me if he did, honestly. Mueller's been following the trail, and is probably well within his immediate family(Don Jr. and Jared Kushner are probably dead-to-rights). He's getting increasingly desperate(and is also an idiot with idiot lawyers), so he's probably going to end up Saturday Night Massacre-ing it, except it will be even dumber and more transparent than when Nixon tried it. The likes of Jeff Flake and Ben Sasse will be livid, but nothing will happen until after mid-terms. Even then, there probably won't be enough votes to convict in the Senate.

Well, Trump's been surrounding himself with like-minded yes-people. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump is being given the answers he wants instead of the truthful answers. Hence, he may honestly believe that firing Mueller will make all the accusations and suspicions disappearbecause he's been told that's what will happen. I doubt Trump has the foresight to fully understand the consequences of his actions. Afterall, shutting down the investigation is exactly what an innocent man does...
