Russian Probe Making American Politics Hard To Contain As To What’s Fake And What’s Not

Retaliation Possible

There was an expectation that Trump’s firing of McCabe could back fire. Schiff believed that Trump’s purpose for firing McCabe was related to Comey.

“If he was holding anything back out of loyalty to the FBI or a sense of duty, well that just walked out the door. If he has any information he hasn’t revealed out of a sense of loyalty that might be told now.”

There was also talk about if Trump might try to fire Mueller.

“Any attempt by the President to obstruct or remove the special counsel would create a constitutional crisis and represent an attack on the core American principle that nobody, including the President of the United States, is above the law,” warned Democratic Senator Chris Coons.

Another issue that could hurt Trump was why Sessions lied about contact with Russia. It was believed and shown that Sessions lied to investigators.

“Proving there was intent to lie is a heavy burden for the prosecution. But now you have multiple places where Sessions has arguably made false statements,” said Bennett Gershman.
