Or it might be Trump firing special counsel Robert Mueller, either before or after Mueller issued subpoenas compelling the White House to produce evidence. With each day that Mueller remains on the case, he becomes harder for Trump to fire without incurring fatal damage. Republican leaders who are normally Trump apologists have gone out of their way to praise Mueller. There are 50 or 60 potentially vulnerable incumbents who might be quite inclined to dump Trump in order to save their own skins in the 2018 election. However these swing seats are more than offset by about 150 Republican incumbents from districts where hardcore Trump support persists.
