Disciplined or removed from office only by the personal action of the Attorney General. But according to the white house, the president has been advised he, he can terminate Robert Mueller all by himself. Does he believe he has the power to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller . Certainly believes he has the power to do so. Most legal experts believe he would have to order Deputy Attorney general rosenstein to fire mueller and corefuse. I know a number of individuals in the Legal Community and including at the department of justice said he has the power to do so but i dont have any further announcements. They told me, ive asked. They said its rosenstein oversees is the Special Counsel and only he has the power to fire the Special Counsel. Again, weve been advised that the president certainly has the power to make that decision. I cant go anything beyond that.

can be above the law. no person can be above the law. that is what is really at stake here. are we still a country of laws. the president said he drew a red line. mueller shouldn t look into this or that. person under investigation has no power or right to draw a red line. if the prosecutors or investigators think a person may have broken the law they have duty to look into that. no man can be his own judge. that is what the president seems to be demanding. if he were to fire mueller and stop the investigation that would be a real crisis. there has been talk of potential impeachment of this president. comey was asked about whether the president should be impeached. here is his answer. i hope not because i think impeaching and removing donald trump from office would let the american people off the hook and have something happen indirectly that i believe they are duty
see that higher level and to protect it. congressman, i spoke with your colleague, a republican in the house this weekend. he is on board with legislation to protect robert mueller. are you finding more republicans who are prepared to take the action? a few in the senate. i don t know too many in the house. the republican leadership in both houses saying that won t happen. he won t fire mueller. it s not a problem but it may very well be. it would be a catastrophe to the country if mueller were fired or if rosenstein were fired because rosenstein s replacement could either fire mueller or could put the investigation in a straight jacket tell mueller don t follow this line of inquiry, don t look into this. he can control it without knowing about it. the president apparently thinks he is above the law and no man
which institutions hold. which i think will happen before the midterms. we ve gotten 65% of the way to the midterms. a year ago, i would have bet on it happening by now. i don t know. that s true. there s not that much time left to run out on the clock. we might get there before the midterms. the idea of sort of like that members of congress, republicans all had this line today don t he won t fire mueller. don t worry about it. i want to play this montage. this is what you heard from capitol hill today. take a lis. i have confidence in mueller. and i think to answer your question, it would be suicide for the president to want to talk about firing mueller. i m not concerned that fire mueller. i don t think he ll fire rosenstein. i can t think of any reason. i m confident that would be the beissing of the ends of his presidency. i think the president s too
