Journalist and former Clinton adviser says, "I would not rule out Trump attempting to fire Robert Mueller"
................................Referring to news reports suggesting that the former FBI director, James Comey, stymied Trumps alleged request for loyalty, Blumenthal said, James Comey, the FBI director, knew that was an improper approach in attempt to influence his investigation and he gave a deflecting answer to Trump and it was unacceptable to Trump.
I asked if Blumenthal thought the new involvement of special counsel Robert Muellers involvement in the Justice Departments probe of possible collusion between Trumps campaign and Russia to influence the 2016 election could possibly serve as a wake-up call for Trump.
Robert Mueller is a straight arrow and everything in his background leans to that, Blumenthal said. He is a specimen of an old-fashioned Republican, in fact. He believes in integrity. Hes upright. He believes in the facts. He believes in the evidence. Hes vastly experienced as a prosecutor.
Added Blumenthal: He was the former FBI director, and he will do his best to get to the bottom of if there was collusion. But I expect that if he does, that Trump will resist him, and that we will face even greater crisis than we can imagine. I would not rule out Trump attempting to fire Robert Mueller......................................
