Amid recent chatter that Trump could fire special counsel Robert Mueller, Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) both suggested Tuesday that if the president took that step, impeachment would be the appropriate response.
Graham and Flakes commitments to this position were hardly rock-solid and may well not be shared by very many other Republicans in the Senate (or the House of Representatives, which is where the impeachment process would have to begin). Still, the statements are a significant warning to Trump from two members of his own party about how Muellers dismissal could end for him.
First, when asked by radio host Hugh Hewitt Tuesday morning if firing Mueller would be an impeachable offense, Graham responded, Probably so, if he did it without cause.

Geez, you a John McCain fan or what?
And... there’s a lot more than those two but they just won’t come out into the open and say it...
If you're going let gerbils tickle your innards, give them a fighting chance
I would say there were less than a dozen Repubikan congressmen in D.C. that actually voted for Trump. The rest voted for Hillary.
“Executive branch officials serve at the pleasure of the President and he may remove them at any time without having to give a reason.”
And the 1926 Scotus decision Myers v. United States put the exclamation point on that.
There needs to be a special political prison somewhere for people like these. I would 100% support that. How about Guantanamo?
Ill bet no one bothered to ask them: What specifically, would be the underlying high crime / misdemeanor?
Hey Andrew Prokop: if Republicans started a rumor that Chuck Schumer was going to divorce his wife and join the Republican Party AND he denied both - would 'the chatter' go on for weeks?
No, it would not.
Think about it.
What real story is this shiny intended to distract from?
I have a couple of thoughts, but nothing firm yet.
Color me shocked that Grahmnesty would join in. /s
BOTH these two bastards should be tarred and feathered.
They will NOT impeach Trump without a Civil War.
Um, on what grounds would they base their impeachment?
What is the “high crime”?
hiding the guilt it does appear
Is it time for 200 million Americans to descend
upon these criminal, professional LIARS and TRAITORS??
They are vindicating Trump for everything he said about “the swamp”. It is very real, and an oppressive parasite on the American people.
Senators are not part of the Impeachment process. Only Representatives. If Impeached by The House, the Senate may vote to convict.
He was mean to Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney.
Somebody needs to tell these two pixies that the only people talking about firing Mueller are the “democrats” and their toadies in the liberal “mainstream media”. Impeach them you idiots.
Believe it is a true statement
Agreed!
