Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Sunday that President Trump is "floating trial balloons about derailing" special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
Schumer added in a statement that Republicans have an obligation to ensure that the special counsel can continue his investigation into Russia's election interference and any ties between Trump's campaign and Moscow after the president questioned the makeup of Muellers team.
"Our Republican colleagues, particularly the leadership, have an obligation to our country to stand up now and make it clear that firing Mueller is a red line for our democracy that cannot be crossed," the New York Democrat said.

And yet, they've got nothing.
If Trump had a real AG, that person would have never recused himself. He would have taken personal control over the process, and he would have said regularly from the beginning any investigation will be brief, focused in scope, and not political. That person would have pulled the plug on this farce 8 months ago.
Give them a break. They have only been at it for a year and a half. Conducting a fake but accurate investigation into a non existent crime takes time.
I like the trial balloons. So far, the only Republican that I know of who’s squealed is Linda. The Dems will have a tough time impeaching Trump if all they have are a handful of Republicans led by Linda.
schumer has no business threatening Trump! What mueller is doing was started with false and lying charges... brought on by a crime infested FBI and those who tried to undo an election ... what they did is treasonous and schumer best not push a man who has no intentions of being stripped of his office.
So one can see that only the President's tweets brings it to the fore.
Mueller's camp picks and chooses.
And what was Schumer saying when Ken Starr was investigating a real crime?
Stop! Stop! He didn’t do it! Stop! Stop!
I sincerely hope next week the shit really hits the fan on several fronts, and the Dems collectively hide under their desks.
Not that I am counting on this happening, but IF Mueller were to say I hired a bunch of Democrats to investigate Trump and they found nothing, just imagine the whiplash Democrats would have as they switched to Mueller is a Republican partisan hack!!!
Someone remind Schumer he and his globalist in the D.C. swamp crossed that line long ago.
Mueller is there to protect his friends who are in trouble for lying.
Should there now be a permanent independent department of investigation of future Presidents: well funded with no oversight and no accountability and no limit of the scope of its investigation? Of course not. This kind of treatment is only for outsiders, not for swamp creatures.
Schumer is floating trial balloons about making all illegal aliens exempt from all of our laws. Alls fair, hey Chuckie?
We elected President Trump to be a force of nature, bold and self-assured in his leadership. It’s time to pull the plug on the Mueller investigation. Mueller has already interviewed everyone who might be even remotely involved with the original scope of the investigation. Besides that, the FBI is now so totally compromised by the bad behavior of anti-Trump zealots that nothing they say or do can be trusted.
I haven’t seen any “trial balloons” on twitter this morning. I saw very direct criticism.
Schumer, gets his orders from his boss George Soros and then passes on to the democrats..More than likely Soros chose the democrats that are on Mueller’s team of fools..
I do, too. It’s going to hit the fan and the sooner the better.
I’d like to see President Trump tie a few of those trial balloons to Chucky’s @$$ and float him off the planet.
The investigation was never on the rails, it is a coup.
