Susan Collins: Mueller protection bill would send strong message to Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Susan Collins (Maine), a leading moderate Republican voice, on Sunday said that passing a bill to protect Robert Mueller would send a “very strong message” to President Trump not to interfere in the special counsel's investigation.

Collins said on ABC's "This Week" that she doubts Trump would sign such a bill into law and, like other moderate Republicans, has questions about its constitutionality, as it would infringe on the president’s power to make personnel decisions.

Collins, however, indicated she might support the bill as a pointed warning to Trump not to fire senior Department of Justice officials with oversight of Mueller’s investigation or otherwise meddle with his probe on possible collusion with Russia during the 2016 election.

“It would not hurt if we passed legislation to send a message to the White House that we want the investigation to continue,” Collins said.

1. How is that McConnel promise working out for you, Senator?

2. The message would be "resign" because his presidency won't survive a completed investigation. nt

3. She might support such a bill? How noble of her.

Don’t go too far out on a limb, Susan, you’re still a Republican after all.

4. She might support it.

A few too many senators make everything about them. You know the rule of law is on the line here, you shouldn't have to think about it.

Tired of this woman.

5. I'm underwhelmed Senator.

Also, you've lost all credibility. You like the attention of the media casting you as one of the reasonable one's left in your party, but like the others, you vote in line with your putrid party.
