      1/ First, Trump can't fire Mueller directly. He has to first fire Sessions and replace him with a willing accomplice to the obstruction-of-justice crime.

      2/ Pruitt is the name we're hearing. And that guy thinks he's doing God's will by raping the earth...seriously, future generations will wonder why he didn't drop him into an active volcano for crimes against the planet...so what's the big deal to axe Mr. Magoo?

      3/ The minute Sessions is fired, Mueller's contingency plan goes into effect. He's known since literally Day One that Trump wanted to fire him. One of the obstruction charges is ABOUT Trump wanting to fire him. Do you really think Bobby Three Sticks isn't ready?

      4/ Mueller will have time. Because it presumably takes SOME time between Sessions being fired and Pruitt stepping in and then firing him. In that little window, all hell will break loose. Fire and fury will be more than the title of a lurid but ultimately dull book.

      5/ There will be indictments ready to roll out, en masse. There will be news stories ready to leak, one a day or more, every day. Maybe we'll even hear audio of Trump colluding.

      6/ Meanwhile the mass demonstrations will be epic. It will be the opposite of Trump's inauguration crowd size. So many people in the streets.

      7/ Congress maybe, just maybe, will be forced to act by the popular protest, and protect Mueller and re-instate him. They have time to do it.

      8/ Meanwhile, the indictments don't just vanish even IF Mueller is gone. Trump thinks this is what will happen, and he's a fucking idiot, and he's wrong.

      9/ Bottom line: firing Sessions to fire Mueller is Trump pulling the pin out of the very large grenade he's holding in his very small hands. It will only accelerate his demise. BOOM. [END]

      PS. I haven't even mentioned Schneiderman yet -- the AG of my state, New York. He has indictments ready to roll, too -- state ones, that Trump cannot pardon.
