WASHINGTON Two members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are moving to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller's job, putting forth new legislation that aims to ensure the integrity of current and future independent investigations.
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware plan to introduce the legislation Thursday. The bill would allow any special counsel for the Department of Justice to challenge his or her removal in court, with a review by a three-judge panel within 14 days of the challenge.
The bill would apply retroactively to May 17, 2017 the day Mueller was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to investigate allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible ties between Russia and Donald Trump's campaign.

Meanwhile, the man most responsible for setting this chain of events in motion, Jeff Sessions, sits in his office, doing nothing to stop the inevitable impeachment of our president.
Given that NO evidence of collusion with "the Russians", to tamper with the election has surfaced, he could revoke his recusal today, and order Mueller to wrap up his investigation NOW.
But no. The coward sits there watching the enemy closing in, and doing nothing to stop it.
....Im sure many freepers gave money to pubs to get them elected....and this is what they do....
And they have done this despite promises
for how many election cycles? This is nothing new.
Time to fire the tea party back up with Trump behind it 100%
What sound does a dove make?
He sure has. And the D.C. backside he’s exposing is uglier than I ever imagined. But at lEast it’s getting exposed.
Same state as Ellmers?
The never trumpers are controlling the agenda!
The noose is tightening. This government wants President Trump to resign or forcibly removed. It’s all eerily similar to Nixon down to the turncoat Republican Sheep. Also similar is there is little fight or proactive nature opposing this as was the same case in the Nixon Administration. I guess majorities mean absolutely nothing.
A TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT would be calling for the RESIGNATION of MUELLER and his KANGAROO “INVESTIGATORS”
Trump is in no-win situation with Mueller. If he fires him, he will be called obstructionist and RINO’s in Senate will get the green light to remove him from office. If he let’s Mueller spend unlimited taxpayer funds, no evidence of Russia collusion will emerge, but with 16 liberal lawyers working full time, they will certainly find something totally unrelated such as errors in tax filings or such.
Remember Scooter Libby?
LETS agree here to put TILLIS ON THE LIST. TO BE WORKED, FINANCED AND PRIMARIED OUT
ENOUGH
It is not so much neverTrumpers, as it is cheap labor express promoters funded by Chamber of Commerce.
‘....Im sure many freepers gave money to pubs’
Wrote to Sen Tillis to say just that...in addition to other comments. At one time, I gave to RNC and Repubs, even those not in my State. But, no more! Any time I get a “survey” a/k/a send money, I return it without responding to the ridiculous, obvious questions but write my own comments about the lack of courage by Repubs and disgust at their ongoing cowering to the media and Democrats! I pray every one of the pubs who bad mouth Pres Trump get kicked out of Office and replaced by true patriotic, conservative minded American.
Unconstitutional.

Trump screwed up. He has lost the Senate and he no longer is able to properly depose of the corrupt communists Democrat Special Counsel investigating him. Trump is asleep.
Oh, boy are you a teaser, HL, LOL!
Can’t wait to see what the Trump team has in store for us in September. Winning!
Trump could be cooked. Is Tillis up for reelection this year?
Read recent comment on Facebook that said ‘giving up on R’s; so disgusted with them that probably won’t even vote in future elections’. I suggest the opposite approach.... more citizens should contact...call, write....Senators, Representatives. If they were ‘swamped’ with calls, emails, etc. MAYBE they would begin to listen and act accordingly. Maybe not, but, don’t know unless we try.
The Congress lacks the authority to put limits on the powers of the executive and the powers of the POTUS as the supreme law enforcement officer. Besides Trump has a veto pen.
