My guess is he would begin by firing Sessions, demanding he resign, then I believe he HAD a plan in place to replace Sessions with super corrupt toady Scott Pruitt whose corruption issues at the EPA seem to have sunk him becoming AG. Although Pruitt should have already been fired from his EPA post, he has not yet, my thinking is Trump is still wishing he could move him to AG. I do not think this will happen at this point so he needs to find a new toady that will do whatever idiotic thing Trump tells him to do.

So, Trump needs to have a Justice Department massacre before he can go after Mueller. Plus, firing Mueller would move us into a massive battle between whatever people in the Senate and House still have a backbone, a conscious, and a desire to keep the United States a democracy with actual rule of law...and Trump's totally corrupt team.

Trump has no legal team to speak of to help him and he refuses to comply with what they tell him anyway so, it is likely this is where Trump goes rogue. He is unhinged, will likely try to distract from this with some sort of madman behavior and military action against Syria. So, he will hope falling bombs and firings will change what the media is talking about.

We have good reason to fear what comes next but also I hope that what this raid of Cohen's office signals is both the FBI and Mueller are ready to move on Trump.

I say this because they would know that this would set Trump off in a way where he would attempt to attack the entire justice system. Raiding the office and home of the president's personal attorney is HUGE and about the only thing they could have done to generate this level of anger out of Trump would have been to issue warrants to raid Jared and Ivanka's homes and places of business.

We are at a major moment in this whole thing so I hope, and expect they do, Mueller and the FBI and people at the Justice Department have a clear plan.
