JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/MICHAEL COHEN/ROBERT MUELLER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The Trump White House punched back at its own Justice Department Tuesday [4-10-18], with President Donald Trump and senior officials expressing outrage over a law enforcement raid on lawyer Michael Cohen—and making thinly veiled threats to fire special Russia prosecutor Robert Mueller…Angry and increasingly isolated, the president is more unpredictable than ever, according to four people close to him. These people worry that Trump – who has lost several key advisers in recent months, including former staff secretary Rob Porter, personal aide Johnny McEntee, and communications director Hope Hicks — may make a snap decision to fire senior Justice Department officials who he blames for Monday’s [4-9-18] raid on Cohen’s office and apartment of his personal lawyer.”
