Mueller has no conflicts of interest. At least none that I've heard/seen. Trump's accusations of such are infantile, to say the least.

Nope riding the president's **** is un-American. Only two presidents get that privilege Washington and Lincoln. Washington because without him it's likely that American never became a thing and Lincoln because without him it's likely that America would have stopped being thing. Get off Trump's dick not only is it un-American, it's gross.
Naive much? Lol
Stop this leftist propoganda right now.

Well, babe, it's truly beyond my comprehension as to how you can continue to defend this guy, but if hate mongering is un-American, then yesterday your hero reached new lows in his own well-honed hate mongering themes: you know, the hate he delivers about Obama, and Clinton, about a free press, etc., etc. His typical campaign rally hate mongering, in other words. Oh, but wait a sec. Not so typical after all. He delivered his un-American hate at the Boy Scout Jamboree. He politicized a Boy Scout Jamboree.
What a class act, no? Well, not so much methinks. Kinda un-American I think you could say...

""Know your audience" is usually the first rule of public speaking. But that doesn't really seem to matter all that much to President Trump.
Trump became overtly political in yet another setting that some are seeing as crossing the line — in a speech to the Boy Scouts.
Ironically, Trump began his remarks Monday night promising not to talk about politics.
"Tonight, we put aside all of the policy fights in Washington, D.C., you've been hearing about with the fake news and all of that," Trump said at the Boy Scouts National Jamboree in West Virginia. "We're going to put that aside. And instead we're going to talk about success, about how all of you amazing young Scouts can achieve your dreams, what to think of, what I've been thinking about. You want to achieve your dreams, I said, who the hell wants to speak about politics when I'm in front of the Boy Scouts? Right?"
Apart from using "hell" in front of an audience of thousands of minors, Trump did not stick to that promise. His speech quickly became political.
"You know, I go to Washington," Trump said, "and I see all these politicians, and I see the swamp, and it's not a good place. In fact, today, I said we ought to change it from the word 'swamp' to the word 'cesspool' or perhaps to the word 'sewer.' "
Not exactly the message of how to affect constructive change through politics. Trump was just getting warmed up."

Not surprisingly, former Boy Scouts condemned the speech. He really reached a new low in my eyes yesterday. And I probably did not think that was possible, but behaving this way in a speech to the Boy Scouts(Yes, I know they're not perfect) really is pathetic. Just pathetic. You can watch the whole 35 minute speech here as well, but have your barf bag handy:

At first, it actually confused me that Scaramucci was messaging that Trump still was not convinced that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. But it's actually easy to see why Trump is doing this. IMO, there are two purposes to saying the President is not sure Russia interfered in the 2016 election. One, to keep the Russian narrative and investigation at bay by suggesting it may not be real. And two, to reinforce in his followers minds that it may be fake news perpetrated by a press that is the enemy of the people.
Keep the Russia narrative and investigation at bay, in public perception, by questioning its validity, and create and sustain severe doubt about the story among his supporters. In the latter case, create and maintain an alternative reality where Russia did not interfere in the election. Lie by calling the news "fake". If you repeat a lie often enough, it gets believed. Pretty basic strategy. Create an alternative reality and from the perspective of the fake narrative generated by that alternative reality, label the truthful news as fake news.
Amazing how many people can be conned by this strategy. Amazing how hard it becomes for many to actually detect/recognize this strategy as the con job that it is. And its chief offensive weapon is to label the truth a lie. Or call it fake. According to babe, "nobody wants to hear about this Russia crap". But the inoperative word there is "nobody". Some folks do indeed want to know, some do not. I would never say "everybody" is interested in the history that is unfolding in our lifetime pertaining to the 2016 election, but to say "nobody" is interested is equally untrue. Some people do not want a President to be above the law. That's the part that babe, and people who think like babe, do not understand at all. Some people are absolutely fine with a President who is above the law. But many are not.
Once the lie and alternative reality is in place, those who believe the lie never give the truth a fighting chance to be believed. It can be blocked out immediately without a second thought. The truth can gain no traction once the alternative reality is fully accepted. This is what makes the divisiveness so intractable, and this is why healing from that divisiveness will be such an enormous problem. Unless Trump himself explains to his followers the nature of his con. Only if he comes clean, can his followers be freed from their alternative world. And he does not strike me as the kind of man who comes clean.
In the meantime, who believes for a second that the leak stating Sessions discussed the campaign with the Russian ambassador was not in fact leaked on Trump's own orders? And yet Trump lashed out against the leak. Devious! He's going after Sessions, and Mueller will be next. If he succeeds, he will be above the law. Which, as we know, is just fine with some people. People who don't respect our country at all, IMO.

This is the single thing that gives me the largest amount of hope.
Wasn't always sold on the guy. Trust issues run deep...
But I'm feeling pretty ok with him right now.
I think Trump is on the verge of some colossal blunders.
I've got no love for Sessions, but the way Trump is throwing him under the bus right now is a move that could finally cost him the support of the Republican establishment. It certainly sends the signal that Trump offers no loyalty to those standing at his side. Not only does he put his closest people in difficult situations, if you can't navigate yourself out of it in a way that makes Trump look good he'll throw you to the dogs. I think he'll have a hell of a time replacing Sessions if he runs him off, at least replacing him with a qualified and competent person.
Firing Mueller would send up the biggest, brightest, most undeniable red flags ever. So I guess that translates into maybe 3-5% of current Trump supporters who would question such an action. Seems crazy but I'll take less Trump support 1 person at a time because the wall between reality and Trump's alternate universe is formidable.
Stepping on the toes of U.S. Military leadership. The trans-ban tweet cannot be going over well with top brass. Those guys don't make decisions on a whim like that and they feel a deep sense of ownership for their branch of the military. They want to be consulted. They want coordination. They want stability and reliability. Trump is taking that away from them and I imagine they'll fight hard to keep what they see as theirs. I don't think Trump grasps the kind of influence they can wield, especially with the people who support Trump the most.
Watch you step Trump, you've wandered into a mine field located in a snake pit inside the lions den.

Wow, I love the way you put that.
I actually think Mueller must be de-commissioned. Too many conflicts of interest. Too much obvious connections with the hate Trump hangers-on, the few never-say-die opponents of the American electoral process and the written Constitution. He's as lawless as Hillary, and as truthful as Obama and Pelosi.
Red and Bullethole being encouraged on a public site is really the wrong thing to do for credibility. Colton has gone to zero so far as regular, non-activist fair-minded Americans think. So many people just sick of the fruitless witch-hunt.
So there are some really weird people who just hate Trump. Having some elites like Brennan openly talking about just "taking him out" is quite accurately characterized as Treason.
Great Utah public relations, Colton, The Utah JazzFanz treason club.
