Trump v Mueller - The Countdown is On!

Trump intends to fire Sessions and Rosenstein, and then appoint people who will fire Mueller immediately after the mid-terms. He can't do it now because there would be a massive political backlash that would cost the Republicans dearly in November. 

At the same time, Mueller is working hard to get everything he can out of Manafort before the mid-terms. See here...

If he is going to avoid being fired, Mueller needs to put forward an interim report on his investigation immediately after the mid-terms, and it needs to contain a mass of evidence of Russian links to the Trump Campaign. Without this, he is done, as there would be no basis for any Republican to provide him with political cover. Note that these reports do not have to be made public...but the pressure to release this one will be so overwhelming, including from Republicans, that its release is a foregone conclusion.

So the countdown is on - will Trump fire everyone, including Mueller, before this report is ready for release, or will it be released in time and provide enough evidence of possible collusion to make firing Mueller politically impossible?? 

We shall see. 

In contrast to Trump's constant Twitter tirades, Mueller may also choose to speak out for the first time right after the mid-terms. If yes, it will probably be a short, sharp commentary about the proper role of politicians and the police, and about how police investigations are supposed to be allowed to unfold in a free and democratic country.  

Given the rock-solid nature of this man's disposition and bearing, I would think that if he does speak out, the effect could be absolutely electric - America's response could be like that of children being dressed-down by their father for the first time, ever. Everyone - including Trump - may be forced to recall an essential and eternal American reality....you don't f&^k with the FBI.
