GOP senator wants committee vote on bill protecting Mueller

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said on Tuesday that he wants the Judiciary Committee to vote on his bill limiting President Trump's ability to fire Bob Mueller, but downplayed the idea that his push is a reaction to Trump's latest attack on the special counsel.

"I think it's a good bill that has enduring value beyond this presidency," Tillis told reporters.

"I do think it's a bill that's worthy of a markup in Judiciary and sending it to the floor."

He added he would be asking for the committee vote even if Hillary Clinton were in the White House and "we were having the same discussion with a different sort of a flare to it."

If Hilary were in the White House they would've already had this vote a year ago and it would've past and they would probably impeached Hilary 6 months ago.
