As Trump fumes, senators craft a bill to protect Mueller

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

The measure, which combines two bipartisan bills introduced last summer, signals escalating concerns in Congress as Trump fumes about a Monday FBI raid of the office of his personal attorney, Michael Cohen. Trump has privately pondered firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is overseeing Mueller's investigation, and publicly criticized Mueller and his Russia inquiry.

Yes, Mueller Does need protecting.

Mueller ought to be testifying about his own involvement in Uranium One.

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/10/how_much_did_mueller_and_rosenstein_know_about_uranium_one.html

Back in July, I called for a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s collusion with Russia  to turn over control of 20 percent of our uranium supplies to Russian interests in return for some $145 million in donation to the Clinton Foundation. Now it turns out that there was one, an FBI investigation dating back to 2009, with current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller up to their eyeballs in covering up evidence of Hillary’s collusion, bordering on treason, with Vladimir Putin’s Russia:

I seem to recall a similar bill was pushed in 98 in regards to Ken Starr.

Robert Mueller Is a Hothead Who Can't Own Up to His Mistakes, Former Aides Say

http://www.newsweek.com/robert-mueller-special-counsel-russia-aides-criticize-722670

Quote
Mueller was also criticized for his time as head of the FBI. He led the investigation into the deadly anthrax attacks in the years after 9/11 for nearly seven years, ultimately leading in the prosecution of the wrong suspect, who later successfully sued the government for $5.8 million.

After agents successfully traced back the anthrax to an Army microbiologist who committed suicide once he was informed of the impending charges, Mueller “was reluctant to publicly address the missteps” in the case.

"I think he was personally embarrassed," a former aide told the Times. "I would assess him as someone that can't accept the fact that he screwed up."

Quote
Lastly, the Times article delves into Mueller’s unsuccessful attempt at negotiating with Russian officials to turn over Edward Snowden in 2013.

According to a former official, Mueller would call his Russian counterpart, Alexander Bortnikov, “starting at 3 a.m. in Washington” every day for at least a week, “begging to talk to the guy.” Bortnikov reportedly never answered the phone, and Snowden was granted asylum in Russia soon after.

Why is Trump always 'pondering' firing these obvious backstabbers, and never acts on it. I just don't get it.

"Mr. Sessions, you have done a wonderful job as AG. However, I have decided to go in a different direction. Your service is appreciated and I wish you all the best in the future. Buh bye. No, no, put a sock in it, no, nope, Buh bye...thank you...Buh bye!"

It's easy. It happens every hour of every day all over the country. WHAT IS SO HARD!?

   Has any US President FIRED 2 Attorney Generals?  He's already got holdover Sally Yates under his belt, you'd think this second one (Sessions) would be a piece of pecan pie.  Even Clinton fired FBI Director William Sessions, so it's not a Sessions thing.

   Yes @Frank Cannon Nixon ties Ulysses S. Grant AND GW Bush with 5, though some were Acting or Holdovers, so don't really count.  Trump's at 3, if he fires Sessions (in his first term, that's gotta be a record).

So what you are really saying is that Trump is a loser and needs to get his act together.

   NO, @Frank Cannon that is not what I am saying.  I'm just pointing out, Historically, that Trump is on course for beating all records in Attorney General appropriation, bigly, (if he fires Sessions), much to the surprise of no one other than his hard core base.
