Mueller was called a perfect choice for the special prosecutor position.  Then he loaded up the lawyers doing the investigation with big Clinton donors.  After the fact, we find out that he and Comey are practically spooning together after hours. 

This whole investigation is being manipulated by Clinton/Obama lackeys, and it simply stinks.  Democrats are threatening a Constitutional crisis if Trump fires Mueller, but it would be the wise approach.  Bring in someone who will actually do the investigation in an even-handed manner to get to the bottom of this once and for all.  The fact that no real evidence has been produced in nearly a year of allegations tells you where this is headed  Still, with a special prosecutor with unchecked authority looking for anything to investigate, eventually they're going to find something that is completely irrelevant to the initial task that the media will explode with outrage over.  The nation has so many issues to address that are being ignored because of political peacocking by democrats and the mainstream media.  They can't allow progress on any issues because that hurts them politically.

I think if Trump fires Mueller, most people would see it as an admission of guilt.   Guilty of what, we don't know.  But if he's not guilty of anything, he should just ignore the whole thing and get on with the business of governing the country.   But to fire Mueller, that would be a big mistake.

You say, "no real evidence has been produced in nearly a year of allegations..." Mueller has only been special prosecutor since May 17.   That's only 2 months.  

As for the assertion that the investigation is being manipulated by Clinton/Obama lackeys, Mueller himself is a registered Republican, and he was appointed to head the FBI by George W Bush.

I'm not buying that at all.

StroudCrowd1 is absolutely right.  Regardless of your phony polling (+13 for democrats?  Really?), I think the vast majority recognize this for exactly what it is.  "61% think Trump obstructed" is completely irrelevant.  Ask that 61% what evidence has compelled them to think this (aside from their party affiliation) and wait for the crickets.

The allegations about Trump collusion with Russia started during the campaign.  When Mueller was appointed matters very little when there have been multiple investigations desperately trying to find links between a foreign nation and the Trump campaign colluding to beat Hillary.  The only evidence of collusion between a campaign and a foreign nation to do any such thing unfortunately was the Clinton campaign working with the Ukrainian government.  The Obama administration was "inadvertently" spying on the Trump campaign, going so far as to make 2 FISA court attempts to get a warrant to do surveillance on members of the campaign.  Once they were denied.  The second time they weren't, with the end result being the illegal unmasking of individuals who were caught up in the surveillance, including Mike Flynn.  So, the investigations go back more than a year, and to date, not a shred of evidence has been presented supporting the notion that Trump colluded with anyone  This is just more weak left-wing effort to explain why they lost an election they were supposed to win in a landslide. 

Mueller being a registered republican doesn't mean a darn thing when all 14 lawyers doing the actual investigation, appointed by that rock ribbed republican, are Clinton or Obama donors.  If you don't find that peculiar, then there's really no point discussing it any further. Also, being appointed by Bush isn't exactly a credential that should be touted. The Bush family has been on the #NeverTrump bandwagon from the start, especially after they saw their golden boy, Jeb! thumped after raising more than $100 million for what was expected to be an uncontested run for the presidency. Plus, the Bush and Clinton families are thick as thieves in recent years, so again, when I say Clinton/Obama lackeys are orchestrating this, that's spot on, and they've got an endorsement from the Bush clan.
