WASHINGTON – Bipartisan lawmakers sounded the alarm Sunday about President Trump’s mounting attacks on the Russia probe and issued a strong defense for special counsel Robert Mueller.

“If the president reaches out and stops this investigation, that is a constitutional crisis in this country,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Trump’s lawyer John Dowd Saturday called for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to end the Mueller investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election and potential collusion with the Trump campaign.

Trump followed up over the weekend by attacking Mueller by name on Twitter and questioning the fairness of his probe.

“If he (Trump) tried to do that, that would be the beginning of the end of his presidency because we are a rule of law nation,” said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released a report earlier this month that said its investigation found no evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians in the 2016 election.

“ If you have an innocent client, Mr. Dowd, act like it,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said on Fox.

Take a look at Mueller’s hair in the various pictures of him. Always perfectly cut and groomed. So much so that it says something about him.

Keeping the focus on non-issues while those doing the actual investigations that will reshape the political landscape go on unimpeded.

The GOPe need to be reminded that they don’t have the info that the FBI OPR used to recommend the firing.

Quit pretending this is Trump’s doing.

He has led a privileged, silver spoon life. It’s likely he grew up with men always looking like that and he may not give it a second thought.

“If the president reaches out and stops this investigation, that is a constitutional crisis in this country,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Well, Durbin is right that there's a constitutional crisis - the EXISTENCE of the Mueller investigation is a severe, ongoing constitutional crisis, which could be ended by a stroke of the pen.

When Trump does stuff like this, he’s often got something in his back pocket to make them look like idiots. May it be so.

So Gowdy’s Benghazi investigation was Kabuki Theater after all.

I will never be fooled again by the GOP scum.

Clapper got a free pass. Guilty as sin, free as a bird.

He’s the clue. More free passes on the way.
