Senate Judiciary Committee should take immediate action to consider and then pass to the Senate floor a bipartisan measure proposed by Republican Senators Tillis(NC) and Graham(SC) and Democratic Senators Coons(DE) and Booker(NJ) to prevent the firing of Special Counselor Mueller and a similar measure should be considered in the same manner by the House of Representatives

Why is this important?

Special Counselor Robert Mueller was appointed by Asst. AG Rosenstein in accordance with the position created by US Congress. According to this legislation only Rosenstein - or an appropriate DOJ official can fire Mueller or effect the efforts by the Special Counselor to conduct the investigation he was appointed to do. President Trump has repeatedly made statements and considered action that would either fire or- restrict Mueller's investigation. In order to protect the integrity of both the office of Special Counsel and the accompanying investigation; a bipartisan measure that would in the event of any attempt to fire Mueller; set up a 10 day window to seek expedited Judicial Review of such firing by Republican Senators Tillis(NC) and Graham(SC) and Democratic Senators Coons(DE) and Booker(NJ) is being prepared for consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee. This measure should be taken up by this Committee and then brought to the Senate Floor and voted in. The House of Representatives should work upon a similar measure and expedite its consideration by appropriate committee and then send to the floor of the House to be passed there.
