Well, here we are folks, Trump is actually considering his own Saturday Night Massacre.

According to a close friend of Trump, the president is seriously considering firing the special prosecutor investigating him. Spicer neither confirmed or denied the rumor.

Friend Says Trump Is Considering Firing Mueller as Special Counsel

WASHINGTON — A longtime friend of President Trump said on Monday that Mr. Trump was considering whether to fire Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel investigating possible ties between the president’s campaign and Russian officials.
The startling assertion comes as some of Mr. Trump’s conservative allies, who initially praised Mr. Mueller’s selection as special counsel, have begun trying to attack his credibility.
The friend, Christopher Ruddy, the chief executive of Newsmax Media, who was at the White House on Monday, said on PBS’s “NewsHour” that Mr. Trump was “considering, perhaps, terminating the special counsel.”
“I think he’s weighing that option,” Mr. Ruddy said.

I know you're thinking "surely this idiot wouldn't make a move like this that is so brazen!?" but I think you should take a step back and consider a few things.

For one thing, Trump surrounds himself with sycophants, conspiracy theorists, illiterates, fanatics, and other idiots that have horrible political and legal advise to offer the man. No sane council would advise him to do anything other than to stay off Twitter, and no lawyer with two brain cells would advise him to actually state publicly he would testify under oath with his history of being a pathological liar. This is what happens when an emotionally unstable narcissist surrounds themselves with the likes of Alex Jones, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and company.

Secondly, put yourself in his shoes for a moment. If you were accused of the things that Trump was accused of in the Steele dossier, and you knew you were guilty of some it's allegations, this would be the last move you could make.

Gingrich and Levin are actually supporting this insanity.

The idea that the investigation is illegitimate and politically motivated has been gaining currency on the political right for months. Conservative writers, radio hosts and cable personalities — emboldened by the president himself, who has called it a witch hunt — have repeatedly sought to discredit the inquiry, its investigators, the mainstream news accounts of it, and the lawmakers on Capitol Hill who are demanding more answers.
Initially, Mr. Comey was the subject of much of their derision. Now they have moved on to Mr. Mueller, whom they are attacking as too compromised and conflicted to lead an independent inquiry.

In the PBS interview, Mr. Ruddy said Mr. Trump had considered replacing Mr. Comey with Mr. Mueller, who served as F.B.I. director during the George W. Bush and Obama administrations. A senior White House official confirmed that the president had interviewed Mr. Mueller for the F.B.I. post in the Oval Office the day before Mr. Rosenstein tapped him to be the special counsel in the Russia investigation.

Mr. Ruddy said the president was weighing whether to dismiss Mr. Mueller because of concerns about conflicts of interest. He said those concerns included the interview for the F.B.I. post and connections between Mr. Mueller’s law firm and White House officials.
“There are some real conflicts. He comes from a law firm that represents members of the Trump family,” Mr. Ruddy said. “I know for a fact that he was under consideration and that the president did talk with him in the days before he was named special counsel. I think there’s a conflict there.”

He also said that he believed it would be “a very significant mistake” for Mr. Trump to fire Mr. Mueller, but emphasized that he was concerned about what he described as conflicts.

The criticism of Mr. Mueller has intensified in recent days, spreading from Trump surrogates like Mr. Gingrich to powerful media personalities like Rush Limbaugh. On his radio program last week, Mr. Limbaugh endorsed the suggestion that Mr. Trump fire Mr. Mueller.
Mark Levin, another prominent radio host, has also called for Mr. Mueller’s firing. “Mueller must step aside,” he wrote on Facebook over the weekend.

The only problem is Ruddy, Levin, Limbaugh, Stone, Jones, etc, all have NO understand of the law or how it works, and how abusing it brought down Nixon, and almost brought down Reagan. They just don't get it. These kind of decisions make a person look guilty, and have brought down Republicans in Watergate and Iran-Contra.
