If you’ve been on Twitter since Friday, you know that the big thing in lefty circles this weekend is speculation that the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller by President Donald Trump was imminent.
Well, apparently not:
BREAKING: After returning from Camp David, Trump says he's not planning to fire special counsel Robert Mueller
— The Associated Press (@AP) December 17, 2017
Trump made the statement on return from the weekend at Camp David:
Asked whether he is considering firing Robert Mueller, Pres. Trump says, "No, I'm not." Then asks reporters: "What, are you surprised?" https://t.co/EBbOYKXp2n pic.twitter.com/zAxQHzuKyu

Now, anything could happen, but it sounds like the Trump strategy — at least right now — is to ride out Mueller’s investigation.
