Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) announced Thursday that he will try to force a vote on legislation protecting special counsel Robert Mueller after President Trump ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions Wednesday.

Flake said he and Sen. Christopher Coons (D-Del.) will go to the Senate floor next week to try to get a deal on advancing the legislation.

"When the Senate convenes next week, @ChrisCoons and I will ask for unanimous consent to bring S.2644, the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act, to a vote on the Senate floor. After the firing of The AG, it is more important than ever to protect the Special Counsel," Flake said in a tweet.

That’s it Flake.

Are you sure you don’t want to scream “Allahu Ahkbar!” or something?

Pathetically sore bitter loser.

Nasty and vindictive to the very end, just like Juan McStain!

The Special Counsel cannot be protected because he doesn’t exist. Mueller is a special prosecutor operating under the jurisdiction of the DoJ just as any USA is. On fact accotding to Amdrew McCarthy Muller’s position is problematic and the scope of his investigation is illegal.

Never Trumper Flake exacts his revenge on the President before he heads out the door.

Quells surprise.

“Flake said he and Sen. Christopher Coons (D-Del.) will go to the Senate floor next week to try to get a deal on advancing the legislation.” Looks like Flakey had another elevator meeting with his favorite people.

Disgusting but he’s angling for a CNN job no doubt.

A personalized law like this seems to me to be like a reverse bill of attainder. It would make Mueller untouchable.

Christopher Coons. Isn’t he the dumb bunny who won when Karl Rove called the Tea Party (republican) candidate a witch...

Flake speaks for the party of bush, the GOP—95% of the senate and house.

And Trump has to sign it, right?

Ain’t gonna happen and Sessions resigned.

Its unconstitutional. Congress cannot tie the President’s hands in firing executive branch officials.

Its Democrat and Never Trumper grandstanding.

He knows this ‘investigation’ is an unconstitutional deep state farce.
