New York Times: 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.
His comments appeared to take the White House by surprise.

WNU Editor: The friend, Christopher Ruddy .... is someone that President Trump has used in the past to leak a story as a means to test the waters .... which my gut is telling me is happening now. In response .... Democrats are warning President Trump to not fire Robert Mueller .... Top Intel Dem warns Trump: 'Don’t waste our time' trying to remove Mueller (The Hill). Some Republicans are saying the same thing .... Republicans to Trump: Hands off Mueller (Politico). As for the White House, they released this statement late tonight .... White House officials deny claim Trump seeking Mueller firing (ABC News). But revelations over the weekend that Robert Mueller is very close to fired FBI Director Comey .... Is The Special Counsel Investigation Led By Robert Mueller On The Trump Campaign Already Tainted? .... coupled with reports that Special Counsel Mueller has stocked his legal staff primarily with Democrat donors .... Robert Mueller Stocks Staff with Democrat Donors (Lifezette) .... has now unfortunately tainted the entire investigation. If more revelations are revealed in the coming days that question the impartiality of the Special Counsel .... which I personally hope will not happen .... but if they are revealed .... then for the sake of the investigation Robert Mueller will have to consider resigning.

Actually this already looks bad enough based upon the relationship between Mueller and Comey as well as stacking the team with partisan Democrats. This should be sufficient enough for him to need to resign. More really isn't needed. Now if more should come out this would only bolster the conclusion that he needs to resign.
Unfortunately this was NEVER meant to be a fair investigation. It was ALWAYS supposed to lead to convictions of Trump officials and even POTUS himself. No evidence of crimes, simply manufacture it. Some did not realize this. If some are catching on, this would be a good sign. If there is a silver lining to this, we are getting to see the American injustice system at work out in the open. Hopefully this can lead to changes. NONE of what I have typed here is intended as an endorsement for DJT or any of his team members.
