Larry Sabato: Trump Will ‘Make a Terrible Mistake If He Does’ Fire Robert Mueller and ‘People Will Pour into the Streets’

‘I think there will be massive opposition’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SABATO: "Well, they have to try to do something. I think there is a real fear, legitimate fear, that if cornered, President Trump will try to fire Bob Mueller. Obviously, he did try earlier in the year in June. The amazing thing is that with all of the resources, of all of these news organizations, all the sources they now have confirming that President Trump did indeed want to fire Bob Mueller, you still have President Trump calling it, quote, false news. Fake news. It is not fake. It is not false. So I think it’s the right assumption that he’ll try to do it. He’ll make a terrible mistake if he does. He needs to go back and review what happened to president Nixon after the Saturday night massacre when Nixon fired Archibald cox, the independent counsel. I think there will be massive opposition. I think people will pour into the streets if he does it."
