Trump said something interesting during the interview on Hannity when speaking about "article 2" and that he could have fired Mueller.

"You know I could have fired Mueller, I could have stopped it, but THEY told me to let it play out"

I find it interesting that he went with such a broad/undefined word. "They". It could of course be a reference to the small group Q has referenced at the top of the spygate information pyramid.

At least its a sign of control early on, that they clearly knew what was going on.
