Lawmakers weigh Plan B to protect Mueller's work
"WASHINGTON If Congress cant protect special counsel Robert Muellers job, perhaps it can protect his work.
Thats the thinking among several lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who are discussing ways to safeguard the special counsels investigation into possible ties between the Trump 2016 campaign and Russia amid President Donald Trumps escalating attacks.
As the probe closes in on the White House, much of the public debate has centered on the fate of Mueller and whether Trump might fire the former FBI director, whos now led the probe for nearly a year.

According to three people briefed on the discussions, ideas include: Requiring that Congress receive Muellers final report; allowing Mueller, in the event he is fired, to release his findings publicly; or allowing him to resign and release his work if he feels his investigation is being improperly stifled."
