Complicit GOP caught abandoning plan to protect Mueller from Trump

Republicans are well aware that Trump is inching closer to trying to fire special counsel Robert Mueller again. And some talk tough against it. But when it really counts, GOP leaders like Sen. Mitch McConnell are complicit in Trump’s threats.

According to a new report in Politico, “Republican Senate leaders threw cold water Monday on passing a bill to protect Mueller, calling it unnecessary despite Trump’s increasingly scathing attacks against the special counsel and his team.”

McConnell has refused to pass such bills on previous occasions, giving the excuse that he does not believe Trump will make good on his threats. But even if that is true, McConnell has no good reason against passing a bill to make sure the special counsel is protected.

Nor is McConnell alone in wanting Trump to retain the power to commit a Saturday Night Massacre.
