Analysis: 5 Possible Outcomes of First Mueller Indictments
Manafort, Flynn, Page at top of potential indictment list; Mueller’s firing a long shot

Trump fires Mueller. Remember, Trump already ousted FBI Director James B. Comey, who has said the president asked him to drop the investigation into Flynn.“No, not at all,“ Trump told reporters during an impromptu Oct. 16 Rose Garden press conference when asked if he was considering firing Mueller from the special counsel post.
But that was before the president, who values and rewards loyalty, was facing the first wave of indictments in the Russia probe. And Trump made his disgust clear that day about the ongoing DOJ investigation.
“I’d like to see it end. Look, the
whole Russian thing was an excuse [by the Democrats],” he said. “So that
was just an excuse for the Democrats losing an election that, frankly,
they have a big advantage in the Electoral College. … So there has been
absolutely no collusion. … They ought to get to the end of it because I
think the American public is sick of it.”
