could foresee this president doing instead? i don t know. if he fires rod rosenstein he gets maybe only 75% of the blowback that he would get if he fired bob mueller. no legal heat is going to come off the president. i think what the president may think about and come around to is massive pardons, pardons across the board for michael cohen, for mike flynn, for paul manafort, even for himself, certainly his sons and his son-in-law. that power is very hard to take away from the president. frank? i think there s a way to get rid of mueller without firing mueller. i think it is rosenstein. and i think you could replace rosenstein with your own person who s going to do exactly what you directed them to do. he can hand pick that person if he chooses to do so. i still say that would be obstruction. bring this back to the obstruction case.
