Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) on Tuesday said he “cannot possibly imagine” that President Donald Trump would fire Robert Mueller, the special counsel overseeing the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“I can’t imagine, Nicole, you’ve been around this city for a long time,” Corker said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

He said the possibility that Trump might fire Mueller is “ridiculous to even consider or talk about.”

“I cannot possibly imagine the President terminating Bob Mueller,” he said. “I mean it’s — it just cannot happen. So let’s put that aside. If they even have ever discussed that, which I would doubt they have, but Mueller aside, his investigation is going to go on.”

  1. Well most sane adults couldn’t imagine Trump firing Comey. Or any of the myriad crazy as fuck things he has done.

  2. Corker’s imagination is already on summer recess.

  3. Bob Corker is the kind of guy that makes you wait for the red light twice, because he is mesmerized by the forty foot tall wacky wavy inflatable arm man at the curbside auto dealership.

  4. The truth
    Rachel Maddow said it
    “I have suffered from lack of imagination as the things that this Administration has done I could not have conceived as being possible”

  5. Corker doing his ‘Oh my-where is my fainting couch’ routine is what Trump feeds on. But he is up
    for reelection in 2018, so actual spine? Too much to ask.
