Special counsel Robert Mueller’s charges against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and two other aides mark a new phase in his sprawling investigation into Russia and President Donald Trump. But the president’s supporters on Capitol Hill have said they want all the facts to come in first.
There “will be holy hell to pay” if Mueller is dismissed, Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Fox News on Monday, unconcerned about rumblings of the ongoing threat Mueller poses to the president. He said there is zero evidence from the White House that Mueller’s investigation will be stopped or curtailed.
Asked to elaborate, Graham continued: “I've heard nothing from the White House to suggest that the president's going to try to replace Mr. Mueller. Zero evidence from anybody I've talked to. It would be wrong to do so unless there were cause.”
People familiar with Trump’s thinking told The Associated Press the president has become increasingly concerned that the Mueller probe could be moving to an investigation into his personal dealings.
“No politician should ever be afraid of the American legal system working its will,” Graham told Fox News about many of his colleagues’ refusal to comment on the case.

“Why in the world would Trump want to fire Mueller just when it is getting good?”
The special counsel’s reason for being is 3 fold:
1) Embroil the Trump administration with indictments-scandals with the ultimate goal of toppling Trump.
2) Use the SC to bury the mountain of high crime evidence against Hillary & the O’muslim ‘administration’
3) Show the people what happens if you want to go to work for the Trump administration...You’ll be crucified by the propaganda press and indicted by a soviet-style special counsel.
There’s nothing good happening here.
‘Holy’…. An article or location that is specially recognized as or declared sacred or consecrated by God. As in Exodus 3:5 “And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.”
Am I the only one who finds Linda’s choice of words absolutely despicable?
I really wish that any republican opponent of his would have a chance, but they don’t. Lindsey, unfortunately, has this state locked. I have been voting against him every chance I get, but it doesn’t matter. He keeps winning.
Lindsey Graham is a clown. When did Donald Trump ever mention firing Mueller?
RINOs and RATs are scared crapless because they are guilty as sin.
I wouldn’t care if a Democrat replaces Graham.
