Part of this is technically true in a misleading way: The report says Trump ordered McGahn to tell Rosenstein to fire Mueller based on specious conflict-of-interest accusations. It doesn't say Trump told McGahn to fire Mueller himself. @realDonaldTrump/1121380133137461248Permalink On twitter.com

Lawsplain: As an "inferior" officer, Mueller could be removed by dept head who appointed him. So McGahn couldn't fire Mueller. Contra his claim here, Trump probably couldn't directly do that either: he had to order Rosenstein (whom he could fire) to do it. nytimes.com/2018/04/10/us/politics/trump-firing-authority-mueller.htmlOn twitter.com
