Wall Street Journal: Trump Will Soon Fire Sessions, Rosenstein

Wall Street Journal: “Two people who spoke to Mr. Trump during the week said they came away thinking both Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who appointed Mr. Mueller, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions would soon be gone, potentially sparking a political and constitutional crisis.”

Said one: “It’s a matter of when, not if.”
 
Mueller report is due in May/June and then the mid-term season starts, whatever he has to do to save his ass gotta be done this month.
 
While some legal Pundits think Mueller doesn't need to subpoena Trump because he has enough without putting Trump before a Grand Jury, I think, unless Congress very quickly moves to protect Mueller, there is a reason why Mueller should subpoena Trump as quickly as possible even though Trump is going to refuse to comply! Then there would be a clear case of obstruction when Trump, after the Subpoena is issued, fires Sessions, Rosenstein and every one else who refuses to fire Mueller, until he eventually gets Mueller fired. Trump would not get away with ignoring a subpoena and then firing the duly authorized attorney who sent him that Subpoena. There would surely then be a prima facie case of obstruction that would almost certainly hold up in the Supreme Court. Given the makeup of the current House and Senate, however and under the circumstances I've just suggested, there is even a very remote possibility we could be looking at the first instance in U.S. history of the House and Senate together invoking its Constitutional authority under Article III, Section 2, of the Constitution:

In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
​
Wow! Wouldn't that be something!!! Of course in the past under such a situation, the House would bring articles of impeachment, the Senate would convict, and it would be cut and dried. But with arthropod Ryan and these Nunes crazies in the House, and liver lips McConnell running the Senate, who knows? If Congress does move to protect Mueller, I'll take it all back, but not until.
 
The reason Trump must find someone in Justice that can and will fire Mueller doesn't require rocket science to figure out. He has nothing to lose because he's guilty, and getting rid of Mueller might at least buy enough time to pack up the Park Service's Silverware. Were he innocent as the driven snow, he'd have nothing to lose by cooperating with Mueller's investigation. It's pretty simple. I just can't figure out these guys like froggy who are standing in the midst of a January blizzard and insisting it is 72 degrees with a light breeze from the Southeast.

They'll be renaming Congress the new headquarters of the DNC if Mueller is fired.
 
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein “has struck a stoic and righteous tone in private conversations he has had this week about the fate of his job as President Trump has launched public criticism against him and considered firing him,” NBC News reports.

“One source who spoke to Rosenstein said he seemed fully aware he may soon lose his job and was at peace with the possibility, confident he had done his job with integrity.”

Also interesting: “Rosenstein has said in recent private conversations that history will prove he did the right thing by firing Comey in May 2017, claiming that the American people do not have all the facts about what led to his decision to write the memo that led to Comey’s dismissal.”
