We need folks like that in the circle now more than ever. Do you really think Trump listens to anyone on these advisory circles? Or that he listens to advice from anyone in general.

Busch1724 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Back to Visionary's last post... Asking a question because I don't understand the legalese, but how can Trump dictate what is under the scope of the investigation? If they go beyond the scope of what Trump says is OK, does that mean he can fire Mueller with just cause? I find it weird Trump and his minions can dictate what is off limits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't dictate it, but being a free country he or his lawyers are free to tell them they are out of line. tis just messaging, just as the leaks and such are. Don't think he can directly fire Mueller, he can fire the guy that can fire Mueller though(assistant AG in this case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump can't really do that. He thinks he can, but not really. Mueller serves under Rosenstein, and only someone in Rosenstein's position can fire him. Scope was set by Rosenstein: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3726381/Robert-Mueller-Special-Counsel-Russia.pdf It's basically, Russia, and everything that pops up while investigating Russia. There is very little that is actually outside the scope of that. He'd probably have to dive into Trump's medical records before any eyebrows got raised. If Mueller went beyond the scope Trump can't fire him, but he could dictate Rosenstein to fire him, and fire Rosenstein and replace him (and the next and next) until someone fires Mueller. The thing is, all Trump's and Trump's lawyers' talks about scope are really just red meat to his base to get them to pre-judge the results of the investigation, and/or try and lay a foundation for Trump to fire him, even though one doesn't actually exist. Mueller is a professional, he won't go beyond the scope, and if he thinks he's getting too close to the line, he'll do what he's required to do in 28 CFR 600.4(b) and consult with AG (or in this case Rosenstein bc AG is recused). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Great, gives Mueller a nice quiet time to operate in. If Trump thinks his latest meltdown will distract Mueller and company, he's sadly mistaken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that everyone is talking about how he thinks the white supremacists and Nazis got a bum rap, he will surely be able to further his agenda without the distraction of the Russia investigation.

He seems like he's trying to stay professional. All his other lawyers are just doing Trump's bidding without really caring about Trump's best interests.
