The growing tensions between the American president Donald Trump and the Russiagate special prosecutor, Robert Mueller, are likely to provoke a real institutional crisis.
The searches carried out last Monday in the office and hotel room of his lawyer Michael Cohen, looking for material that could prove the payments made to the benefit of the two women - the pornstar Stormy Daniels and the Playboy bunny, Karen McDougal - which they claim that they were lovers of the president, they exasperated the president to the point that his spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said that Trump has the legal authority to proceed with the firing of Mueller.
The Republicans are now fearful, convinced that a misstep by Trump could precipitate the consensus of the Conservative party by excluding any possibility of maintaining the majority in the upcoming mid-term elections. In this regard, the intervention of the President of the Senate Justice Committee, the Republican Chuck Grassley, has decided, who has defined the possible dismissal of Mueller as "political suicide".
