On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) stated it “would be suicide” to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller and President Trump should have “confidence” in Mueller.
Grassley said, “I have confidence in Mueller. The president ought to have confidence in Mueller. And I think…it would be suicide for the president to want, to talk about firing Mueller. The less the president said on this whole thing, the better off he would be, the stronger his presidency would be.”
Grassley also praised Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ work and argued the president shouldn’t put the Senate through another confirmation battle.

“Thanks for proving my point. You know absolutely nothing about what is actually going on in DC - other than what your fevered prejudices are telling you.
Sorry your candidate lost in 2016”
I supported Trump. You don’t know anything about this. Keep being a cheerleader.
Mueller was hired, based in large measure, on an unlawful leak Comey made to the media via a “friend” who quickly became his personal attorney so both can hide behind attorney-client privilege (a right Trump felt he once had until yesterday). Why isn’t Comey under arrest for leaking? That 7-foot pile of arrogant leakage needs his pins knocked out from under him!
Yes about business deals where crimes have been committed, but they have no idea if there is a crime or not they are fishing.
Are you saying that Americans have no protections from law enforcement agents who have gone rogue?
just wanted to repeat that
Our constitution is at stake. What is being done to President Trump is a Constitutional crisis of unheard of magnitude.
Agree!
Trump will fire Mulleller in the middle of the election and dare the Repukes to make it “suicide”. Stone wall and pardon is the name of the came until then
You forget he's gonna deep-six any 'weed' use? ;)
He's there for one reason: as Gate-Keeper for the Swamp.
He should fire them ALL.
“Mostly because we all have JOBS. “
So?
Do you work 24/7/365? Didn’t think so either.
And please, people, stop the notion that people on the left are all unemployed welfare bums just so you can feel better when you see them able to organize and see next to nothing from us.
That gun march they pulled off was not a bunch of unemployed people. I work with leftists. Note the word WORK with people that participate in this stuff.
It should not take an act of war to get this side engaged.
So there is an actual crime on the books known as, “cover up,” and had Nixon not resigned he was going to be indicted for it?
(Jjotto, ignore the ping if you’re busy. It sticks in my mind that you are knowlegeable about Nixon. If you have the time and inclination, perhaps you could shed light on his alleged crime.)
Grassley may be a swamp or cesspool dweller, but he is correct. Mueller has nothing and is desperately trying to trigger Trump into firing him.
Hey Jane just think about what kind of power he has in a situation like this.
Deep state has most in DC by the balls or tits, depending
“So there is an actual crime on the books known as, “cover up,” and had Nixon not resigned he was going to be indicted for it?”
Nixon’s Administration did the break-in and he found out about it. Trump is innocent. Trump needs to fire those people.
Where is the no knock raid on Tony Podesta?
Exactly.
DC and the press hate Trump 100x more than they hated Nixon. Times have changed. The Left has become radicalized and unhinged to an insane degree. The problem is that the GOP wants Trump gone as much or more than the Left. One of the biggest reasons for Mueller’s never-ending witch hunt/fishing expedition is to goad Trump into firing someone. Then it’s impeachment time.
Yeah, I have faith in Mueller too.
I have complete faith that Mueller and his co-conspirators will destroy the Legal System, the Constitution, the Nation and its society in order to bring down Trump and anyone who would support him.
“One of the biggest reasons for Mueller’s never-ending witch hunt/fishing expedition is to goad Trump into firing someone. Then it’s impeachment time.”
He has that power as president. No one would vote for the Republicans if they impeached Trump.
Nixon’s actual crime was the process crime of obstruction, not a primary crime:
...“Acceptance of a pardon is an acknowledgment of guilt,” Mr. Becker said in a 2009 interview for the Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project. Thirty-five years earlier, he had written in a memo that Nixon’s admission that he was “wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly” in dealing with the Watergate scandal, particularly when it reached the judicial stage, “represents an acknowledgment of obstruction of justice.”...
