Senate Republicans are warning President Donald Trump not to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, despite growing concerns about Mueller’s conflicts of interest and his approach to the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
On Monday, reports emerged that Newsmax Media CEO Chris Ruddy had suggested that the president was thinking of firing Mueller. The president has the constitutional authority to fire a Special Counsel.
However, the suggestion was opposed vehemently by Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Susan Collins (R-ME), according to Politico.
“It would be a disaster,” Graham said. “There’s no reason to fire Mueller. What’s he done to be fired?”
Politico quoted Collins as saying that firing Mueller would “certainly be an extraordinarily unwise move.”
However, there is growing opposition to Mueller’s appointment among conservatives outside the administration.
Mueller is known to be close friends with former FBI director James Comey, whose credibility he would have to weigh against the president’s if Mueller decided to probe whether Trump committed obstruction of justice by expressing the hope that Comey would be lenient with former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
In addition, Mueller has added a former Clinton Foundation attorney to his investigative team. The attorney, Jeannie Rhee, defended the Clinton Foundation against Freedom of Information Act requests regarding Hillary Clinton’s illicit private email server

Fire Mueller
Was McCain taking a nap? These three are always the first GOP scabs to stab Trump in the back.
That does it for me. Fire him!
Fire Graham.
My thoughts exactly.
I hope Sessions lays out all of these “appointments” Mueller is making during his testimony, as uses them as his reason to fire Mueller.
Sadly, I doubt that will happen with this Recuser-General....
If I were a Democrat, I’d register as a Republican just to vote for these two.
McCain also...
Heck, Ryan is one with them.
I think we need a special prosecutor to probe the relationship between Mueller and Comey.
These guys are all losers and "Losers never win"
I think we need a special prosecutor to probe the relationship between Mueller and Comey.
I think this is just another rumor to keep the news cycle busy, just like they were obsessed about Trump going to claim executive privilege before Comey testimony. It was all just rumor.
McCain and Graham ...
wow, what a better country this will be when those two are no longer Senators!
If fired, Graham, Ryan, Collins, McCain and the
First Indian Warren WILL BE FURIOUS.
There is only course of reasonable action.
FIRE THE COMPROMISED ARKANCIDE-PIZZAGATE-PROTECTOR.
Kick the Fox out of the henhouse now.
Mueller is a tool of the deep state. He is doing their bidding. And we all know what he’s there to do. They’re not fooling us.
Have they never heard of conflicts of interest?
Those MoFo’s want president pence is all!
I voted for President Trump. And it is my opinion that he should have fired the son of a bitch yesterday.
