We will see what happens, maybe Trump is floating the idea. If Paul and Mitch buy into it, that will make it a constitutional crisis and political suicide for the GOP. I figure the GOP leadership wants Mueller to do Donald for them and will protect him. Trump must be panicking over the election loss in PA, this could be that boneheaded move that does him in, ties into the bullshit house intelligence committee majority report "clearing" Trump of collusion.There is a report on Rawstory that Trump is planning to fire sessions, replace him with pruitt, and crush the muehler investigation.

For those not paying close attention, sessions has recused himself from the russia probe, which leaves deputy ag rosenstein in charge of the investigation. Rosenstein has the power to approve/disapprove any indictments, and also can control the contents and distribution of a final report.
By replacing sessions with pruitt, pruitt would be in charge instead of rosenstein. Investigation over. Trump gets his letter of exoneration. Congress of course will do nothing.
States can't charge trump while he is president. It's prohibited in the constitution. And with trumps toadies running doj, they can simply bring charges against any state ag that charges his family or business. It doesn't matter what the charges are for, as long as they disrupt prosecutors ability to bring charges.
And democracy is dead.

This could mean civil war, but I don't think so, it might speed up Trump's impeachment, when Sessions is fired Mueller will drop a bomb on Trump. Pruitt will end up in jail and will be told as much. Sessions will go into a meeting with the senate leadership if he's fired, Mueller will make sure of it. From this point forward, nobody is gonna go quietly, but will kick and scream on the way out and probably go to court to block Trump.
