Firing Mueller would indeed be the best bet if Trump had something to hide. Even though it would make many people pull their hair out, it would vastly decrease Trump's real exposure.

However, what I am suggesting is a little different. I'm suggesting if Trump had something to hide he wouldn't have let his AG appoint a special counsel to "investigate him" in the first place.

So you think Trump 'let' his AG appoint a special counsel? You think Rosenstein called him up one day and say 'Hey boss, ok if I investigate this Russia thing that implicates a bunch of your crew?', and Trump said 'Sure, whatever dude. My hands are clean.'

That doesn't happen in an independent investigation, any more than a judge calls Trump up and asks him if it's ok to overturn his Muslim Ban thingy.

Your problem i think is that you equate the presidency of the US with a dictatorship where nothing happens without the head of state's approval. That's not my understanding of how it works. The DAG works for the people, not at the pleasure of the president.

Trump interviewed Mueller the day before Rosenstein hired him. There are not that many reasonable ways to take this.

How do you imagine that conversation went?

Trump: I'm getting a lot of heat over this Russia thing. I even fired Comey for it and admitted it on TV.

Mueller: Ok.

Trump: So I'm gonna get Rosenstein to hire you as special counsel.

Mueller: I see.

Trump: Make sure you don't find anything.

Mueller: That's not how it works.

Trump: I'll give you a free membership to Mar a Lago.

Mueller: Goodbye Mr. President.

Trump: Great! See you in Florida!
