Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that he would not be making floor time for legislation designed to shield Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III from firing.
McConnells determination that the action is not needed is apparently regardless of what happens in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I dont think he should fire Mueller, and I dont think hes going to, the Kentucky Republican said. So, this is a piece of legislation thats not necessary in my judgment.

>> belongs 100% to the head of the Executive Branch, NOT Congress!
It seems that both the Congressional and Judicial branches have taken over the Executive branch. At least Congress fears the elections.

I will never understand why a “Special Council” to badger a president is even constitutional in any way, and if it is, why wasn’t there a “special Council” investigating Obama for collusion with the Muslim Brotherhood

I listened to the interview on the radio. I wanted to jump through it and throttle Cavuto! I don’t know what’s happened to him.

I would have been impressed if he said, “The Bill will not leave Committee because it violates the ‘separations of powers’ that is the cornerstone of our Constitution.”

I still cant figure out what makes Robert S. Mueller III so d@mn special. He is a man of integrity with impeccable qualities. Just ask Chuck Schumer.

Like Washington on the battlefield, The mere presence of Trump in the arena has increased the courage and resolve of lesser men tenfold.

There's been a story up on Drudge for some while now about how the Senate WILL vote on protecting Mueller.
Our Dear Leader
I would post it but have fumbled my previous attempts to post.
The story is being reported as though McConnell is being overriden, which is complete b.s.
Nothing gets to the floor if the Leader says no.
Can you or someone get the story up?
Thanks.
