Byron York: Firing Mueller would be disastrous; discrediting him is impeachment politics

Short of impeaching President Trump, does anything excite Democrats, the Resistance, and NeverTrumpers like the prospect of the president firing special counsel Robert Mueller? Firing Mueller would, of course, be the quickest way for Trump to get impeached, which might explain a certain air of anticipation in discussions of whether — some prefer to say when — Trump will sack the prosecutor leading the Trump-Russia investigation.

There has been a lot of news and commentary recently interpreting criticism of Mueller by a number of pro-Trump media voices as an effort to encourage Trump to fire Mueller, or lay the groundwork for firing Mueller, or somehow start the process of getting rid of him.
