And, unfortunately for Trump, the recently elected Senators are not able to do that yet, so any outgoing Senators may not feel beholden to Trump. Therefore Trump has made it very clear to Mueller he has to play his cards now, perhaps he has a month or even two, but once the new Senate is in Whitaker gets confirmed and the plug is pulled on the investigation. Once again, it is just like a blitz in football, by rushing the quarterback you try to force a mistake, but if the quarterback is good, or if he is ready for you, then you get burned.

Do you really think that Muller has been holding out with evidence of collusion or obstruction of justice, just waiting for an opportunity to tell the American people? And this secret info has never been leaked to the Press? Seriously?
Whitaker will not fire Muller, rather put some limits on him. Muller had an assignment to do, and a responsibility to complete it.
