Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that he would not be making floor time for legislation designed to shield Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III from firing.
McConnells determination that the action is not needed is apparently regardless of what happens in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I dont think he should fire Mueller, and I dont think hes going to, the Kentucky Republican said. So, this is a piece of legislation thats not necessary in my judgment.

Good!
I forgive him for all previous issues for standing up to this.
To: Innovative
McConnell should lead a movement to fire Muller.

Sounds like a crossfire avoidance plan.

Don’t forget that McConnell also kept the slot open for Neil Gorsuch.
He withstood withering attacks to do that.

I still can’t figure out what makes Robert S. Mueller III so d@mn special. What has he done to distinguish himself from any run-of-the-mill political hack who has risen to his level of incompetence?

Self-preservation. McConnell and many GOP senators dont want to have a recorded vote on such a bill. Such a vote would expose the anti-Trumpers who support the Mueller witch hunt.

He doesn’t want Mueller to get fired, as he thinks Mueller has the goods on Trump. And will use them too.
Mitch might be right in this instance. But for all the wrong reasons.
To: Innovative
Well, good for him.
(Now I’m ‘waiting for the the other shoe to drop’.)
To: Innovative
I saw his interview with Cavuto.
Mitch was resolute.

McConnell isn't doing anything courageous. He knows that Trump would never sign it, that the courts would declare it unconstitutional, and that Republicans don't need the optics of an intra-party fight going into the mid-term election.

I always used “kaibosh” but that’s just me.
Now, Joe Di\ola (DeVola?) I just don’t know.
I’m actually shocked at MM. Got something right.
