John, they're picking on me again.

A group of bipartisan senators is introducing new legislation to limit President Trump's ability to fire special counsel Robert Mueller.
Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.). Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Christopher Coons (D-Del.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) will introduce the legislation, the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act, on Wednesday.
The legislation would let Mueller, or any other special counsel, receive an "expedited judicial review" within 10 days of being fired to determine if it was for a "good cause." If it was determined it wasn't, he would be reinstated.
It would also codify regulations that only a senior Justice Department official can fire a special counsel and that they must provide the reason in writing.

My guess is that these people are currently beholden and being protected by the “Deep State”. The question is why? Are they pedophiles? Are they concerned that Trump’s destruction of pedophile networks in America will come back to hit them? Hmmm...inquiring minds want to know...
Any senator who signs off on this is a traitor.
Always good to know whose who and where they stand.
John, they're picking on me again.
Its like the Roman Senate voting for the “Praetorian Guard Independence and Integrity Act.”
Let’s neuter all our elected officials by giving even more power to non-elected, permanent DC bureaucrats.
F***ing idiots.
It would be unconstitutional on it’s face, anyway, as it violates the separation of powers.
L O L...
You saying Mueller can’t take care of himself? I thought he was a big boy with all the power?
I am wondering why DJT doesn’t use his power as the most Powerful Man in the World?
Something is scaring him...where is his staff?
I was unaware that they could pass a bill that would take away the Presidents powers. You learn something new everyday.
Linda Graham does not stand,
He bends over.
Highly likely Trump can’t veto it.

Prior to this, there was no oversight on Mueller, now there is. Thanks McGruff.
Thom Tillis—another RINO putz.
Based on how weak he has been in this area I don’t think Trump will veto this.
The only thing that is going to fix this country is a civil war or a Welsh style revival. We are past all other solutions.
I told you not to bother me Linda.
I’m busy faking I have terminal brain cancer.
We will get together for our sensual oil massages after Trump is impeached.
Trump will face impeachment.
The only people FOR the people in Washington is those two...
The first step in passing legislation is that it must get through committee, in this case the Judiciary Committees of both houses.
