I am going to give Donald John Trump the benefit of the doubt on what’s being reported about special counsel Robert Mueller’s immediate future.<\/p>\n

Mueller will continue his probe of the president’s campaign and its alleged contact with Russian government goons\/hackers who sought to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Trump has decided — as I understand it — that he won’t ask a deputy U.S. attorney general to fire Mueller.<\/p>\n

Did sanity overcome the president? Has he been infected with the “sound judgment bug” required for those who occupy the highest office in America? Did someone tell him about the horrendous political consequences were he to engineer Mueller’s ouster?<\/p>\n

Trump’s staff reportedly talked him out any cockamamie notion of firing Mueller. He’s already canned the FBI director, James Comey. The Justice Department picked Mueller to provide a semblance of integrity to an investigation that needs to be done thoroughly.<\/p>\n

Mueller’s on the job<\/a><\/p>\n

I continue to be utterly flabbergasted at the president’s inability to control the messages that pour out of the White House. What’s more, he cannot find capable, competent staff members to operate his White House communications department.<\/p>\n

These reports get leaked out about the president considering a patently and profoundly stupid act<\/em> … which would be firing the special counsel.<\/p>\n

Democrats and Republicans all over Washington are highly complimentary of Mueller, his reputation, his record and his dedication to detail.<\/p>\n

Let the man do his job, already!<\/p>\n\n
