Mueller's for the chop!

Trump by all accounts is incandescent. The FBI raid - approved by the Justice Department - of the office of the president's personal lawyer, Michael D Cohen, will, I predict, finally bring to a head the White House's consuming hatred towards Robert Mueller, special counsel for "Russia collusion in the 2016 election". I put that last bit in quotes just as a reminder that this was what Mueller was supposed to be focusing on, but he has got so excited by other stuff, such as big-breasted porn stars having relations with Donald Trump 12 years ago, that he has widened his investigation to cover Trump and anything remotely connected to the 45th president that he, Mueller, doesn't like the sound or smell of. Mueller is going to get fired, sacked, ousted, put on trial, charged with treachery, espionage, Trump is that angry. It must be pretty galling for the president of the United States to have one of his closest friends raided at 3 o'clock in the morning. Or, as Trump put, it was like an attack on the country itself. Mueller took a helluva risk applying for a warrant for the raid, and the "senior" guy in the Justice Department who must have approved of the warrant application will also be for the high jump. Perhaps Jeff Sessions himself. Trump has been itching to get rid of Sessions. So the heads of Mueller and Sessions are now on the chopping block. And this is all happening while Trump is deliberating over whether just to bomb a couple of Syrian airfields as punishment for the chemical warfare attack on Douma or go all the way and target the Russians too. Jim Mattis who never looks out of sorts must be sleeping very little at the moment. He knows his commander-in-chief is in a rage over both that "animal" Bashar Assad, and now also over that *******Mueller bloke. Trump has serious bombing in mind. Mattis will advise against any targeting of Russians of any kind in Syria, but if there's heavy bombing there could easily be Russian collateral damage. Trump won't care. Nor will John Bolton, his new national security adviser. But Mattis will have the world on his shoulders as he tries to devise a way of punishing the Syrian regime and its backers, Moscow and Tehran, without actually killing or injuring anyone from those two countries. Good luck General Mattis, all your Marine Corps training will be needed for this one.
