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.
Im the one who decides what we take to the floor. Thats my responsibility as the majority leader. Well not be having this on the floor of the Senate, McConnell said during a Fox News interview.

(5,394 posts)that Mitch is dirty, and if it looks like Mueller is going to pull him into the investigation, he's going to tell Trump that it's time to let Mueller go.

(2,301 posts)Did you see the video of him learning that Mueller had be appointed special counsel from a reporter's question? Color immediately drained from his face and his pace quickened as he walked away. No response.

(65,159 posts)she gave a heads up for us that Nunez, Trey Gowdy and another Representative are asking Rosenstein to handover information from Comey's redacted memos in an ongoing investigation which Rosenstein cannot do and asking for a couple of days to mull things over, which could be some sort of setting him up for the firing of Rosenstein to end the investigation. Piggyback this info of McConnell not bringing the bill to the floor to protect Mueller.
Scary stuff. They are setting up or giving tRump reasons to fire key people in the Justice Department.

(16,104 posts)and then it failed to get the 67 votes for an override, Congress would in fact demonstrate there will be no consequences for firing Mueller.
Wait until after the mid-terms - we could just have a regular old impeachment and trial then!
