The only evidence of Cohen's loyalty to Trump is that Cohen claimed he was loyal. All his actions for Trump only indicate that Cohen knows where the money comes from.

MSNBC had a story about how Cohen came to Trump's attention. Cohen and his family bought 5 or 6 of Trump's condos. It is unclear where the money came from since Cohen was a pretty medium lawyer. But it was well known that Trump liked it when people bought his condos. It seems possible that Cohen has been playing Trump ever since and will flip on a dime.

If Rosenstein is fired then Trump could replace him with someone who could control the investigation, at least to some extent. Of course that person might be joining a criminal conspiracy.

Same if Sessions is fired.

If Mueller is fired his team remains unless they are also got rid of. And there are other federal offices--in New York and New Jersey for sure--that are involved. The Cohen raid was done by the southern New York office.

Then there are the states, where Presidential pardons don't apply. Given all the money involved, I'll bet there are a lot of state money crimes.

Trump and his kind are always looking for simple solutions to complex problems and they've decided firing somebody is it.

It isn't.
