Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., may not have any interest in allowing a vote on a measure to make it harder for President Trump to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, but that isn't stopping some Republicans from forcing the debate.

North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis said Wednesday that he will continue working on a bill to allow Mueller access to speedy judicial review if Trump tries to force him out of his job leading the Justice Department investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election — with or without McConnell's support.

"We'll have a markup and a vote in committee," Tillis told reporters. "It's something that can lie in the Senate chamber. Facts may lead to passage or not."

Tillis said he plans to continue lobbying leadership on the bill, even after McConnell explicitly rejected the legislation.

"This is not necessary, there's no indication that Mueller is going to be fired," McConnell said in a Fox News interview on Tuesday. He added, "We'll not be having this on the floor of the Senate."

Whenever a republican develops a conscience they become a RINO.

Loyalty to party over morality - that's the GOP motto.

Can't remember how many votes they need to force a vote, but it's going to be tough to get enough votes to prevent a veto.

Wish them luck tho

Theres also that pesky constitution. Congress would have a hard time wresting control of the department of justice from the executive branch

Because if the president does it then it's not illegal.

Maybe they dont want to catch journalists attention during this whole mess... till when... How much months left before the investigation is done ?
I think many republican lawmakers are quitting, the situation is becoming embarassing for them and their own career.

I mean... is that true? Because here if the queen commits an act usually considered a crime then she can't technically be charged with it as she is technically the head of the courts - all crimes are punished in her name. If she actually did commit a crime though I'm pretty sure she would still be charged because that''s just common decency really.
