Never been anything like this before. Even the basis for the Nixon impeachment pales into insignificance compared to the situation with Trump. Never has a Presidency been mired in this manner from day1. A presidency so mad and inept the Presidents own picks are falling over one by one at the hand the disturbed individual who appointed them. Now with his attempts at discrediting the justice system and attempting to pervert the course of justice
the USA is being dragged into a cesspit. America is losing its soul!
"Mr McCabe's dismissal has sparked outrage.
Former CIA director, John Brennan tweeted his warning to the President.

When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America...America will triumph over you. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/974859881827258369 …

The fear is with Mr McCabe and Mr Comey gone the President's men and woman may now try to close down Mr Mueller as well.
Even though Donald Trump has previously said he would fully co-operate with the inquiry, last week's news of subpoenas against his private Trump companies may have changed his mind.
Democrats, including senator Mark Warner, are sounding the alarm.

Every member of Congress, Republican and Democrat, needs to speak up in defense of the Special Counsel. Now.

That sense of urgency will resonate in Democrat-dominated Washington or New York.
But in the Trump heartlands his supporters may fully accept their President's explanation that the FBI and other institutions are corrupt and part of an anti-Trump deep state conspiracy.
If you believe that then any move against Mr Mueller would seem reasonable.
Just as any adverse finding against the Trump campaign or the President himself could be dismissed.
The President's demonisation of the FBI will no doubt have already had an effect on that institution's national standing.
But it has also hardened and refocused opposition to Donald Trump.
If the President does move directly against the inquiry you will probably see protestors in the street.
It's hard to imagine how the current manoeuvres will end well for Mr Trump.
If his critics are right about what is happening, history shows the cover-up is what can get you just as easily as any alleged crime.
