I'd argue that firing Sessions, and installing his own acting AG, who has been critical of the investigation, instead of having the Deputy (Rosenstein) step in, would be obstruction. Especially since the acting AG isn't recusing himself, and appears to now be overseeing the investigation. Basically he has the capability to shut the whole thing down at any second, if they feel like being brazen. If they feel like being sneakier, he could just withhold any findings Mueller brings, or completely defund the investigation, at least that's my understanding.
Basically, the Mueller investigation is dead unless Whitaker recuses himself, from what I understand.
Nothing will happen, and he will probably win in 2020, and the world sucks.
Every time someone says, or an headlines says something about something finally happening, I just roll my eyes.
It is fascinating how trump is immuned to seemingly everything...
Mueller is our last hope, hope he knows what he’s doing...
I'm curious to see how much changes when the new House comes into play in January.
He'll just fight back twice as hard, because now he has a group he can point a finger at.

True, but most of his fighting back up until this point has been getting some of the more spineless Republicans to back what he wants to avoid him saying nasty things about them on Twitter. That won't work as well with a bunch of democrats who now have a majority.
I do fear this may be correct.Originally Posted by Jason
Ditto, I think they can do some interesting things, like forcing his tax returns. Not sure if anything will come of it, but we should at least get a little more transparency.
It’ll just be gridlock. Which will be good I guess.
