Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX) joined this weekend the growing chorus of Republicans that have been casting doubt on the legitimacy of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

Former Attorney General Eric Holder tweeted on Friday, “Speaking on behalf of the vast majority of the American people, Republicans in Congress be forewarned: any attempt to remove Bob Mueller will not be tolerated.”

Cornyn retweeted Holder and simply added “You don’t,” suggesting that he may very well be open to the idea of removing the special counsel.

When Bloomberg’s Steven Dennis tweeted on Saturday that “[Cornyn]’s beef is with Holder, not Mueller,” Cornyn responded with “But Mueller needs to clean house of partisans.”...........................

1. The more they squeal, the closer Mueller is to embarassing the GOP and proving Trump is dirty...

[dalton99a]

2. Another indication that the GOP won't lift a finger when Trump fires Mueller

When, not if

[oberliner]

7. Trump can't fire Mueller

[Lochloosa]

13. Ikr.

[Skittles]

3. they are all but admitting Trump is guilty

fuck them

[lastlib]

4. another Putin cock-holster....

(thank you, Stephen Colbert, for inventing that oh-so-useful term!!)

[Corgigal]

5. Another Russian

Everyone, regardless of Party who is against this investigation...Russian.

[Docreed2003]

6. Exactly what we all assumed...

The GOP will do exactly jack squat when Trump gets rid of Mueller. Fox News will go to bat for them 24/7...the GOP will have their crafted message ready to go...

[Kablooie]

23. But it sounds like Mueller has the goods on just about everyone involved with Trump...

and a large stack of sealed indictments that would be opened if Mueller is fired.
That may include some in Congress too.

Mueller has set a booby trap that will explode if he is removed.

A pretty risky thing to play with.

8. No, Cornyn, *WE* need to clean house of partisans! Like YOU, f*cker!

STFU!! For the sake of American democracy, Mueller needs to DO. HIS. JOB!! And YOU need to STAY THE HELL OUT of it!

[Zorro]

9. The entire Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy

to rob and then bankrupt this country.

They are all political prostitutes in service to the donor class.

[BigmanPigman]

11. You forgot to say they want to make ill and kill

millions of Americans as well. Genocide and bankruptcy...GOP style.

10. When "Cornyn Casts Doubt On Legitimacy Of Muellers Probe" he is casting

doubt on the legitimacy of his own position.

If there is nothing there, there is nothing there. A partisan investigator or a non-partisan investigator doesn't change the facts.

Also, since when does a party affiliation or a candidate contribution mean some one is partisan? Hmm ... if you are a Faux Noise persona it might be true.

[yallerdawg]

12. I deeply despise and hate these shits.

It is a visceral thing and the most divisive we have ever seen.

[C_U_L8R]

14. Cornyn should know better

he's outnumbered.

[George II]

15. As Mueller closes in on trump they get more and more nervous.

[Walbash Blues]

16. Maybe Cornhole has an email problem.

[Polly Hennessey]

17. Why,

does anyone care what that Texas twit has to say. When has anything meaningful ever been said by him?

[Mr.Bill]

18. One thing is absolutely certain.

If Mueller is removed, however it is done, The republican Congress will take no action at all, except for high-fiving each other away from cameras.

[old guy]

19. I don't know what it will take for people to realize

the GOP, as a whole, are in this mess up to their necks. There is no other reason for their actions.

[bucolic_frolic]

20. oh yes the GOP is one to speak of legitimacy with a stolen majority, Supreme Court seat, Presidency

Kiss my FA

21. Hey Cornyn your a fucking disgrace you and your lackey's support a fucking sexual predator

think about that for one minute zippy, and your still trying to normalize that fact, and to add more insult to your disgrace, you support an asshole that should have gone to the FBI and said that foreign intelligence agents made fucking contact to "citizens" at a convention, your fucking republican convention and one of them was a sitting united states senator, they (your fucking "republican" convention platform ) made a deal with a foreign government to remove sanctions that were passed by a congress-----------------you fucking understand that asshole, (that is a fucking conspiracy to commit treason, your entire fucking "republican platform and party conspired), that's called breaking the rule of law, it was law passed by Congress, you know the organization that pays your fucking bills, never mind on that last thought your a scam artist just your sexual predator, your just plain fucking stupid.

They your fucking sexual predator republican acolytes, did not call the FBI.............................let that fucking sink in under that fucking pin head of yours ...................they are TRAITORS

And you now support a traitor that has two guilty convictions, and 4 indictments in total
