Ed Burmila on attorney-tyrant privilege: Trump fulfills his story arc as the GOP shirks all responsibility. Will Trump actually fire Mueller, Rosenstein, or Sessions? Robert Mueller’s nuclear option: If Trump fires him, the special counsel should reveal everything he’s discovered in the Russia investigation. Thread: “Thus, everyone who is up in arms about the possible firing of Mueller should be just as alarmed — if not more so — by the likelier prospect that Rosenstein may go”. Firing Mueller and Rosenstein won’t save Trump’s closest allies. Will Michael Cohen snitch on Trump? Trump is already acting like Nixon in his last days. Don’t hold your breath for a Watergate-like ending — Republicans have no intention of chasing Trump from office.
