I don’t care for Trump’s style. He can be too offensive & divisive. I like many of his policies. If he fires Mueller/pardons Manafort, I’d consider impeachment. But nothing so far merits impeachment. The remedy 4 those who can’t stand him is political. Beat him in ‘20 if you can.
People are asking me why firing/pardoning might make me support impeachment. Here’s why: Trump has the constitutional right to do both, but I believe either one would be obstruction of justice, designed to protect himself. That’s not the purpose of those presidential powers.
I also think firing a subordinate officer like Comey is different. Comey had other duties and lost the trust of potus. Mueller’s only job is to investigate Trump. Firing Mueller would be an attempt to interfere with the investigation.
If Trump waited until the Mueller probe was over and then pardoned Manafort, the timing would indicate the pardon was not meant to curry favor. That would put it in a different light. (It would be unwise to pardon a tax cheat, but that’s a different story.)
My bottom line is simple: Trump won and the will of the people should not be lightly set aside. I have heard nothing so far that rises to an impeachable offense. The best remedies in a democracy are through the ballot box - not one-party impeachments.
