IMPORTANT: This requires nationwide protests and a Congressional probe. There *are* situations in which a POTUS can relieve someone of their duties without cause, but the case of an investigation in which *POTUS* is a target is *not* one of them. Trump has committed a crime here.
2/ A president's constitutional authority ends at the point of criminality. The Republicans can trot out my old prof Alan Dershowitz as many times as they like but it will *still* not turn the U.S. Constitution into a suicide pact. Trump is *not* authorized to commit Obstruction.
3/ All the evidence suggests Trump made the odd decision to make Sessions' Chief of Staff Acting Attorney General *because* Whitaker previously wrote that Mueller *must* be stopped from investigating Trump's finances—though it's actually within his purview. This is *obstruction*.
