OnPolitics Today: A Mueller firing? Police get riot gear ready, just in case

(Photo: Saul Loeb, AFP/Getty Images) Pittsburgh police received orders this week to get their riot gear ready just in case President Trump decides to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, a local CBS affiliate reported. What's the likelihood of that happening? Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has told Trump he's not a target in Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 elections, nor is his now-raided lawyer, Michael Cohen, according to Bloomberg Politics on Thursday. Still, the Senate will vote on a bill to protect Mueller next week. The latest to Trump's legal team: Rudy Giuliani? As Trump hopes to put the Russia investigation behind him, there's only one man he could turn to: Rudy Giuliani, apparently. Trump's legal team has been in shambles: John Dowd, his chief criminal attorney, resigned last month, with slated additions Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing withdrawing soon after. The team's big decision: deciding whether Trump will interview with Mueller. Time's Most Influential People: Ted Cruz praises Trump, who once called his wife ugly Time magazine's list of 100 most influential people in the world debuted Thursday, with no shortage of political figures on it. Trump for his part, once published a tweet suggesting Cruz's wife is unattractive.
