Senate Republicans are warning President Donald Trump not to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, despite growing concerns about Muellers 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. Theres no reason to fire Mueller. Whats 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 Muellers 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 presidents 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 Clintons illicit private email server

They remember Nixon
IF Mueller were honorable he would resign
Congress should fire him
If only there was a way to fire all three. And Ryan, too.
Sounds like it’s time to Recall Lindsey Graham.
Mueller was USA in sf. That says it all. Probably a clintonista or worse a Feinstein pelousy babs lackey. The fact he is close to comey is frightening.
Apparently Rosie has already weighed in... See post #26.
I give Mueller two weeks max before he goes into the file 13.
He’s a cluster mess.
Honor to Mueller is a foreign concept.
He’s a #NEVERTRUMPER that has stacked his legal team full of Hillary voters.
There was no good reason to hire Mueller.
Yep, put a Hell Hound on his trail.
Mueller should just remove himself. It would be the right thing to do. Of course that won’t happen, look who is backing him. The left is hoping that Mueller is another Tomás de Torquemada or Roland Freisler for their cause.
There are report now over on reddit
Rember that Comey had a meeting with Mueller before he Testified before the Senate?
The report is Mueller gave Comey full immunity !!.....His best-friend gives his best buddy full immunity
This is absolutely outrageous and despicable Is so freaking corrupted its unreal !!
Fire Mueller, Graham, Collins and McCain
That would make me want to fire him more.
Just say “He’s fired... If any one knows of any actual crime committed to investigate, I’ll re-hire him”
We should never hire a special counsel to go fishing.

There fixed it! Whatever happened to honest journalism?
If he does it, he should do it on Saturday night.
I like that. It would be very in-your-face.
Gee, if the Republican party didn’t have so many democRATS we might actually be able to turn the country around.
But as it stands, no chance.
Nothing personal Mueller, we just don’t need you anymore. Good luck to you in the future.
In a week, it will all have blown over. Otherwise it will just fester and metastasize.
This is just a way to stir the pot and get the public to believe that Trump has done something wrong and is firing people to protect himself, i.e., obstruction of justice.
