    Yes, even easier to stop an investigation by a USA. If congress can’t investigate the president, then the only ones who can are people he can fire for doing so.[/QUOTE]
    the president can’t fire the special prosecutor. if you want a criminal probe of the president you get one. remember? you all got one and turned up empty. SDNY was not investigating the president.

    letting someone go doesn’t stop any ivestigation the US Attorneys office is made up of more the one person. moreover there are fbi agents, asst USA’s etc

    His appointment be Jeff sessions was for 120 days. Since there was no senate confirmed replacement after 120 days the courts, by law, named him the prosecutor until a senate confirmed replacement could be take over. Since by law it's the job of the ones that name an official to fire them Berman could have gone all the way to the supreme court to block his dismissal. Since Barr backed down and accepted Berman's number two to fill the interim Berman resigned.
    Want to bet on how long it takes her to bring charges against Rudi?

    the judicial branch does not hire or fire prosecutors. They had authority to extend his limit appointment. but he still works for the executive and doj in particular. the deputy got the job automatically until it can be filled

    You cant, but Nixon did! Trump said he could have, did he lie?

    it’s possible under certain specific circumstances but you can’t just fire on because you don’t like the guy or the investigation.

    nixon did so illegally according to federal court

    but your focus has been proven wrong

    only if there was actual cause like mueller was bias against trump for some reason and it was proven. the president at one point believed their might have been some due to a prior business relationship. he had people look into it and they said nah...and of course t he president didn’t

    So a year later a judge says it’s illegal? Lol
    The guy is already gone, and it would be up to the DOJ to pursue charges. So again people the president can just fire lol

    And if he had, nothing would have happened. Or do you think Barr would have had him arrested if he did? Lol

    the house was preparing impeachment articles for obstruction for the firing....that the special prosecutor that replaced him recommended.

    the judge that made the ruling did so in a civil case.

    What does that have to do with Trump was investigated for three years in spite of your claims presidents can't be investigated.

    No one does, what corruption are you talking about there is no corruption in dismissing a temporary US Attorney.

    He didn't have to consent and didn't consent. Mueller and Special Counsels have nothing to do with this this is about a temporary US Attorney, why are you trying to conflate the two.
