The latest rumor from the left is the Trump plans to have Robert Mueller fired as special counsel, possibly around Christmas. The White House responded that they have no intention to do so. And of course they won't. The Mueller investigation has been the Golden Goose that keeps on giving. Trump's best interests are that the disastrous inquiry continue for some time. Every few weeks something new falls into his favor. Proof that his team's communications were unmasked. Evidence of extreme partisanship by lead investigators of both Trump and Clinton. The only success they've had, after many months of this, is in charging Flynn, a prior Obama-appointee caught in a bizarre perjury trap regarding legal activities. They were so desperate they nabbed him for a tangential process crime.
This is a wonderful precedent, if you're Trump, because the whole investigation is starting to look like one big process crime. Not only do we have texts showing that the intentions of the investigators are legally seditious, Trump's lawyers are now claiming that Mueller's team illegally gained access to 15,000 of Trump's emails. Sounds like a process crime to me. Someone better get charged. Not now, of course. The Mueller fishing trip must be allowed to come up embarrassingly empty-handed. Any attempt by Trump to shut down the fiasco will just give credence to his enemies' claims of obstruction of justice. Let the process run its course, and then the DOJ can pick up where Mueller left off: hanging political opponents up on process crimes.
