Sen. Mike Lee blocks effort to vote on bill to protect special counsel Robert Mueller

SALT LAKE CITY — Sen. Mike Lee blocked a bipartisan attempt to force a Senate vote on legislation designed to protect special counsel Robert Mueller.

Citing late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the Utah Republican argued that passing the bill would create a "de facto fourth branch of government, fundamentally undermining the principle of separation of powers that is so core to our liberty."

"And on that basis, madam president, I object," he said.

Lee said the "prosecutorial authority of the United States belongs to the Department of Justice," and the DOJ and its officers, after Senate confirmation, answer to the president.

   Flake is just a symptom of the problem.  Their are other GOP Senators that will become the burr in Trump's Saddle this upcoming 2 years.
