Trump fumes Mueller probe is 'going to choke the life out of' his presidencyTravis Gettys 20 MAR 2018 AT 06:42 ET
President Donald Trump is privately fuming and publicly lashing out over special counsel Robert Mueller and his sprawling probe of the presidents ties to Russia.
Republican lawmakers have bluntly told Trump to tone down his escalating criticism of Mueller, the former FBI director, and his investigation, but GOP leaders have taken no action to protect the special counsel and instead are hoping to wait out the storm, reported the Associated Press.
The president has griped to confidants that the Mueller probe was going to choke the life out of his presidency if allowed to continue indefinitely, one outside adviser told the AP.

(15,543 posts)republicans are dodging their fundamental responsibility as elected officials to protect and defend the USA and Constitution. They are sitting on their hands, like chickenhawk republican draft dodgers, doing doodley squat to check or balance Dirty Donny, their republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief. Cowardly. Shameful. This is the GOP's historic, responsibility-dodging disgrace in America's greatest hour of need.
