President Trump ordered the firing last June of Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation, according to four people told of the matter, but ultimately backed down after the White House counsel threatened to resign rather than carry out the directive.

    Since it came from Fox's own Hannity I'm not too worried about it. You are showing off your own failings here... keep trying, a GED is pretty valuable.
