Turley: Trump Firing Mueller Would Be the ‘Biggest Jam’ Since Taft Got Stuck in the W.H. Bathtub

‘People would cite that as a basis for impeachment’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TURLEY: "When you’re talking about firing Mueller, he can probably do that. It would put them in the biggest jam since Taft got stuck in the White House bathtub. It is a really bad idea. Think about how this would work. He couldn’t talk to Sessions because he recused himself. He would go to Rosenstein who appointed Mueller and said fire him. Rosenstein presumably would say no, and he would either be fired himself or resign. Then the president would have to find someone willing to do what Rosenstein wouldn’t do. You can go through that leadership having resignation after resignation. In the meantime, people would cite that as a basis for impeachment. They would move to try to pass the independent counsel act. It wouldn’t end to this. It would prolong it."
