For fear of repeating myself, I think this is a moment in history...

...where the Congress needs to protect the Special Counsel Law? It doesn't matter whether the Special Counsel is a Democrat or Republican or None of the above, the Law needs to be protected at all times.

Nobody is above the Law of our country. Let no one think that they are. That would be folly of the highest magnitude.

This is also a moment in history where the Legislature must stand up for the Constitution that they are sworn to protect and defend.

Our Congress must stand behind Robert Mueller and his Investigation.

This is historical though in that trump is doing what ever he wants no matter what the rule of law says. And the repubs are complicit.

It'll probably be one of the first things on their agenda. Until then, it simply isn't going to happen. Republicans only concern themselves with control. They have no ability to govern. They have no moral compass. They live in the moment, to protect their interests and to devastate the opposition.

We'll get our special prosecutor protection law. One day. Let's hope it's not too late by then.
