Donald Trump directed that the Nunes secret memo be released, even though he doesn’t have the power to release it because he wants to fire deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein so that he can fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The Washington Post reported, “The president has told close advisers that the memo is starting to make people realize how the FBI and the Mueller probe are biased against him, and that it could provide him with grounds for either firing or forcing Rosenstein to leave, according to one person familiar with his remarks. He has privately derided Rosenstein as “the Democrat from Baltimore.†Rosenstein is not a Democrat. He was appointed as a U.S. attorney in Maryland by President George W. Bush and was kept in that post by President Barack Obama.”
Trump is desperate to fire Mueller
The President Of The United States wants to fire the Special Counsel. This fact is obvious for all to see. An innocent president would be clamoring to be interviewed and empowering the investigation to get to the truth so that his name could be cleared. Trump wants to fire the Special Counsel because he is trying to kill the investigation.
He is making himself look guilty by the minute while adding to the behavior that is going to lead to one if not several obstruction of justice charges. Trump is so self-destructive that he can’t see that firing the special counsel will make the scandal mushroom and paralyze the country. People of a certain age remember that national politics all but stopped during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, and Trump’s potential Russia crimes make Bill Clinton’s consensual sex look like nothing in comparison to the holy hell that will be unleashed if Trump fires Mueller.
Trump is trying to use his House puppet Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) to invent a reason to fire Mueller. Instead of getting Meuller fired, this scheme will inch Trump closer to impeachment.
