It’s been said the great threat to President Trump’s agenda are not the Democrat Party, but rather the GOP. Senator Lindsey Graham has proven yet again that this theory is likely true. POLITICO and NBC News report the South Carolina Senator is working on a bill that will have bi-partisan legislation to prevent President Trump from firing Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Imagine if the Repubs fought Obama as hard as they are fighting Trump?

It is time for Pompeo to invite Linda down to CIA headquarters and show him the secret dossier Obama’s people drew up on him.

If this horse$hi+ goes through then such a law would need either Trump’s signature or a 2/3 veto override.
If it passes by a veto proof majority, that starts, at least, a 10 day clock for Trump to fire Mueller.

But it won't get that far.

Grandstanding. The man has never heard the term “Separation of Powers”. Of course what does it mean when the legislature spends all its time on “Investigations” and the Courts uses its powers to enact new laws?

The Deep State is digging in for what could be their “Last Stand”. Did we expect them to go down so easily?

Say What? . . . Has to be Fake News.

A President, any president can not fire a special counsel. Only an Attorney General can fire a special counsel and in Mueller case only Rosenstein can.

Think Saturday Night Massacre

Flimsey Grahamnesty works for the Cheap Labor Express.
The people of South Carolina MUST get rid of him, even if they have to vote for a Democrat to do so.

as a defeated presidential candidate who has stated repeatedly that he has it out for Trump, Graham may be running headlong into conflict of interest ethics rules

Doesn’t matter; the pubbies who are against Trump are no different from dems; they are the enemy and they must be defeated at all costs.

I wonder what form this bill will take.

I can’t imagine a bill which simply states “Trump can’t fire Mueller.” More likely would be a bill which states that the President can’t fire a special counsel whom he has appointed, or appointed to investigate matters the President is involved in. But that could be very problematic if passed, as well as unconstitutional (separation of powers).

DJT might just want Mueller to be right where he is. When more Russia smoke and bang is needed to attract the attention of the MSM and Congresshe will fire him.
