Lawmakers to Trump: Leave Mueller alone

Democrats — and a few Republicans — in Congress have a clear message for President Donald Trump: Don’t mess with Robert Mueller.

Concerned that the president may fight back after Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling led to two indictments and a guilty plea for his former advisers Monday, top Democrats laid down a marker for the president, who earlier in the year criticized Mueller and the probe. […]

Republicans were less explicit, but many sent a similar message.

”I don’t think anybody in their right mind at the White House would think about replacing Mr. Mueller unless there was a very good reason,” said South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican who has been both a critic and a friend to Trump over the last year.

Republican Sen. Bob Corker, a Trump critic, said he “can’t even imagine” that Trump would fire Mueller. …

President Trump doesn’t have to do anything. If Mueller comes under investigation, for being complicit in Uranium One, he’ll have to resign anyway....................

Uranium One
DNC collusion with the Russians
Clinton Foundation

Don’t fire Muller, just pardon anyone indicted. End of story.

Hilarious straw man. Trump has never mentioned firing Mueller (though he could legally do so)!

So these little protests and warnings are like me screaming at my neighbor’s unicorn. It doesn’t exist.

President Trump has given no indication that he has any interest in firing Mueller. Warning him not to fire Mueller is like warning him not to build a new Trump Tower on Pluto.

He would be covered under Uranium One.

Why? If they broke the law then prosecute. I’m in no way advocating for the way their alleged crimes were uncovered, but that ship has sailed.

When they warn POTUS not to fight back, I think what you’ve listed is exactly what they’re warning him not to do.

They’re all liars, and dirty, and they expect him to sit there and take it so the truth doesn’t come out.

Per the demons, that opening another investigation and bringing on another SP would be tantamount to obstruction because of Muellers role in Uranium One.

YES! Mueller will get what’s coming to him, all in due time!

Exactly right the Democrats and liberal R’s are knocking people down to get to a camera like Trump is on the verge of firing their hit man. Why would he fire someone who might blunder into the real Russian collusion story.

Mulehead must tread carefully because he is a compromised prosecutor with one of his star witnesses Comey. Any competent defense attorney should shred his case with a conflict of interest complaint.

WOW, these “both sides” lawmakers can really spring to life when something so important is reported. Except, to my knowledge, President hasn’t hinted or whispered or tweeted that he was interested in canning Mueller. I wonder if any one of those noble lawmakers said that, when they were asked that very important question.

They are not lawmakers, they are lawbreakers.
