Republican lawmakers consider need to protect Mueller
By Mallory Shelbourne - 01/28/18 02:01 PM EST

Republican lawmakers on Sunday grappled with the potential need to protect special counsel Robert Mueller in light of a report that said President Trump called for his firing last year.

Hosts on the Sunday shows questioned lawmakers about the revelations in The New York Times report and what it means for the investigation into Russia’s election interference and any potential ties between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a key Republican who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is conducting its own Russia probe, said it “wouldn’t hurt” to pass legislation protecting Mueller.

Pass legislation to take the DOJ out from under the executive branch.   What could go wrong

This has less than tepid support and can't even get out of committee.  It's going nowhere.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
