Trump is obviously positioning himself for firing Mueller. I don't think it will be soon, but not too far off either. He has spoken now that Mueller and Comey were close friends to set the 'stage'. It is hard to predict in today's topsy-turvy USA what would happen when he does, but my guess is the move will not play well for Trump's chessboard in the end. ::bowtie:: I think he is going to find himself without a Republican majority in Congress after the 2018 elections unless he/we are mid-major-war [and I think he and/or his advisers know that]. Sad to watch an already undemocratic nation I was born in fading into history as a oligarchy and over-militarized police-state [even more than it was]. I think there are just one or two elections left before it is time to have a funeral for the USA.... It is up to fellow citizens - and NOT just by voting [which is greatly controlled/rigged - and NOT by Russia!]. Very sad. Their snatching away the healthcare [limited as it is] from some 50-150.000.000 citizens could be their undoing and 'his'. His other horrible decisions come with teflon spray to his core supporters. Healthcare effects everyone and in real time.

After describing Mueller's friendship with former FBI Director James Comey as "very bothersome," Trump went on to hint that he may dismiss Mueller as special counsel. In response to a question about whether Mueller should step down from the investigation (there is no indication he has even thought about doing that), Trump ominously replied, "We're going to have to see."[/FONT]

Trump also blamed Obama somehow, saying:[/FONT]
"I didn't tape [Comey]. You never know what's happening when you see the Obama administration and perhaps longer than that was doing all this unmasking and surveillance. If you read all about it and I've been reading about it for the last couple of months about the seriousness and the horrible situation with surveillance all over the place. And you've been hearing the word unmasking a word you've probably never heard before so you never know what's out there. But I didn't tape. And I don't have any tape. And I didn't tape. But when he found out there may be tapes out there . . . I think his story may have changed.[/FONT]
Trump claimed that Comey's story "may have changed" when the president mentioned that he may have taped their conversations, "because then he has to tell what actually took place at the events."[/FONT]
He also insisted that "my story was always a straight story, my story was always the truth."[/FONT]
Trump had previously suggested there were tapes.[/FONT]
