If Trump Fires Mueller, Republicans Won’t Object
By
Jonathan Chait
When Robert Mueller was hired to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible connections to the Trump campaign, Republicans in Congress supported Mueller, and even warned Trump not to interfere with his work. “Any effort to go after Mueller could be the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency,” warned Senator Lindsey Graham. “I believe if he did fire Bob Mueller, you would see a special prosecutor statute go through both houses by veto-proof majorities and we’d end up with Bob Mueller in charge of a new investigation with new authorities,” predicted Senator Angus King.
Many Trump critics assume at least implicitly that these conditions still pertain. But the reality as of January 2018 is not the reality of last summer. The Republican Party has largely coalesced around Trump. If — or when — Trump quashes Mueller’s investigation, the veto-proof majorities to restore Mueller’s power will almost certainly fail to materialize.
I read conservative commentary every day. Before Trump won the Republican nomination, sentiment among conservative pundits (if not voters) ran overwhelmingly against him. Over the last year, that opinions have moved toward Trump in several jagged lurches. The first occurred when Trump sealed up the Republican nomination, at which point anti-Trump sentiment could not longer be channeled into a prospective Rubio or Cruz nomination. Another column of opponents peeled off after Trump surprisingly defeated Hillary Clinton, at which point four or more years of opposition looked like more than many “Never Trumpers” had signed up for.

I want to throw up…. @GOPLeader You’re so sad and very pitiful. No wonder you cower in silence about Trump’s #shitholecountries comment. You’re too busy sucking up to the fraud with cherry and strawberry Starbursts.

I was kissing Carson’s leg yesterday and he raised his little feet to my mouth so I could kiss them too. LOL
Please be quiet, phony. You planned a stunt to rile racial tensions against Black NFL players protesting police brutality and racism.

18 Facts You May Not Know About Martin Luther King, Jr.
“King is the only American citizen, who was not a president, to have a national holiday in his honor.”
You may be hard-pressed to find a grade-school textbook without the name Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in it, and you probably watched the classic movie “Our Friend, Martin” as a kid. He’s most likely the first Civil Rights movement figure you learned about, and the one who is still highlighted more than any other today. However, no matter how much has been taught (or repeated), there are still some lesser known facts about Dr. King and his legacy.
Did you know?
1. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was actually born Michael Luther King, Jr. He later changed his name when he became a minister.
