Trump latest rant - "A total WITCH HUNT with massive conflicts of interest!".

Are they similar conflicts of interest that Jarred, Ivanka and Don Jr have in terms of their business interests and their position within the US Government, that makes policy decision which directly influence their businesses?

One word Donald: NEPOTISM, you clown!
 

The are two possible explanations for the latest anti-Mueller tweets.
Either he is doing his best to discredit the enquiry to give himself a reason to try and get Mueller fired, or more likely he is doing his best to discredit the investigation so that he can dismiss the findings as partisan muck raking and hope to get enough GOP congressmen to back him such that they won't act on the findings. The first option would probably lead to his impeachment whereas the second strategy stands a chance of success depending on how bent the GOP congressmen are. Whilst logically the second option makes more sense, that would imply that Trump has the intellect to work that out.

The midterm elections are key. If the Blue Wave is big and blue enough to sweep aside the majority in the House (doubt it can happen in the Senate) then an increasing number of GOP members may begin to see him as a greater liability; i.e. their support for him threatens their careers. The fact that he's an unbalanced lunatic, completely amoral and an absolute dumbshit doesn't matter until then. There's little you can do about his voter base -- they poured cement over themselves save their mouths, and there's no shifting their loyalty -- but you can certainly get well-off moderate conservatives turned off by him to turn your way if you distance yourself.

Can't see any way there will be enough party line votes to impeach in any event but if the GOP stalwarts (including in the Senate) start defecting after November, all bets are off if Mueller finds something impeachable (which is almost a lock given the unfettered breadth he has in his power).
 
Genuine question, what is there to stop Trump from firing Mueller at this stage?
Why not? He a very successful businessman, and I'm guessing he just sacks people who he doesn't like, or who piss him off. I bet that May woman wishes she could just sack people who annoy her - I'm sure Boris would be signing on by now.
