yep, and I doubt Paul Ryan would be quick to get behind it by any means thank god. My point is some of these crazies in the House G.O.P. (especially the ones running for re-election) will try almost anything to stay in power and i don't think they care about the repercussions.

They may not have the votes, but it would certainly give them another opportunity to discredit Rosenstein/Special Counsel and politicize this issue even further.

Trump has been considering firing Rosenstein and/or Mueller for a long time. Now he doesn't have to. Republicans in Congress are doing his work for him.

No matter what the findings of the Special Counsel are, Trump and Republicans have spent a year framing the argument and discrediting the investigation's integrity. I don't see any way the results of the Special Counsel result in the removal of Donald Trump as president.

you're probably right, but doesn't that depend on what happens this November?

My President is never going to get impeached.
I'm sorry that your dreams will never come true, but you need to get over it & move on.

Even if the Democrats take the House, there won't be enough votes in the Senate to remove Trump.

Hell, the Democrats could take the House and the Senate (very unlikely), and there still wouldn't be 67 votes in the Senate.



Trump could be impeached by a Democratic House, but he won't be removed from office by the Senate.

you don't think 15+ center-leaning G.O.P. senators would flip and impeach if Trump were to (indirectly) fire Mueller?

Nope.

The only GOP Senators to really speak out against Trump are retiring or dying (Flake, Corker, McCain, etc).

Congress refused to pass legislation to protect the Special Counsel. They don't give a damn if Trump fires Mueller or Rosenstein. Sure, they might issue him some criticism for a few news cycles, but make no mistake, they are complicit in all of this.

The GOP Senate also refuses to defend their principles against Trump on issues such as tariffs. Bob Corker on the Senate being afraid of Trump: “‘We might poke the bear’ is the language I have been hearing in the hallways. The president might get upset with us as United States senators if we vote on the Corker amendment, so we’re going to do everything we can to block it.” Corker was referring to John Cornyn (R-Texas), Majority Whip of the Senate.

Maybe Collins (R-Maine) and Murkowski (R-Alaska) vote to remove Trump, but even that's doubtful. Maybe Romney once he takes over for Hatch (R-Utah). Maybe a conservative like Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska), who clearly does not like Trump but has shut up ever since Trump was elected. But there are not 67 votes in that chamber, even if Democrats get 52 of them. Not even close.

The GOP is the party of Trump.
