Four senators — two Republicans and two Democrats — are taking a step to protect special counsel Robert Mueller's job as President Donald Trump muses about firing him.

Legislation offered on Wednesday by Republicans Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Democrats Chris Coons of Delaware and Cory Booker of New Jersey would give any special counsel a 10-day window to seek expedited judicial review of a firing.

It could not be more clear. The Republicans are working with the Democrats to sabotage president Trump.

Lindsey Graham is a slime ball.

This won’t go anywhere. They’re just looking to force Trump’s hand.

This is what happens when “drain the swamp” is only a campaign slogan. No one fears or respects you.

This is a test vote, the outcome will tell them if they have to votes to impeach and then remove.

Trump fights back and defends himself so his refusal to submit and surrender is viewed by the fools in Congress as extremism, mental imbalance.

They can’t believe that someone refuses to be bought off like they so quickly did.

How much more dangerous can this become? A Special Counselor that has unlimited authority, no clear mission, unlimited budget who cannot be fired!

From this point forward, every administration will start appointing Special Counselors to go after their political enemies.

In order for a bill to become law, it requires the President’s signature.

If they didn't fear him, they wouldn't be working 24/7, with every power of every government agency, to remove him.

If they didn't fear him, they'd work with him, as they've done with every other pusillanimous Republican since Reagan

“Impeach” is not “remove”.

Clinton was impeached. It only takes a majority vote in the House.

Removing is much, much tougher. 2/3 in the Senate.

Even if he is impeached, he is not removed from office.

Could this not work in Trump’s favor? They pass the legislation and immediately Trump fires Mueller, exlaiming that he “looks forward to Mueller seeking the expedited judicial review of the firing”. And then trump’s attorneys lay out the case against Mueller they’ve been working on for quite a while.

Without this legislation, it is all “court of public opinion”.

We old White males are the only ones that care. The Modern Soy Boy Generation, would sit back and welcome their chains.
