Senator Lee. Complicit traitor.
Bill to protect special counsels such as Robert Mueller blocked on the Senate floor again
A bill that would protect special counsels such as Robert Mueller was once again not allowed a vote on the Senate floor Wednesday.
Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Democratic Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware and Cory Booker of New Jersey attempted to force the vote by unanimous consent, but that meant it could be blocked by just one senator, as Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah did Wednesday.

Lee is doing McConnell’s bidding...........
Any such bill is grotesquely unconstitutional. The special prosecutor is out of an executive office and Congress has no constitutional jurisdiction to exercise any control of it, no more than the President could not order who anyone in Congress may or may not hire or fire.
It's just ultimately tantrum throwing bad loser Jeff Flake trying to stay relevant and attention whoring his last few weeks. From herein after he'll be on CNN and MSNBC for Democrats.
Guys like Flake are the ultimate back stabbing betrayers. Hundreds of Republican volunteers and thousands of Republican contributors backed him up for years. He now 100% pisses on those Republicans in every little tantrum he throws.

Yawn That bill was never going to pass and is unneeded anyway.
So trying to protect Mueller means Flake is "Back-stabbing" all Republicans?

It's covered by the Constitution:
Article I, Sec 8:
Section 8.
The Congress shall have power to ...
To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;
...
To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.

Its true but the bill would never pass so its a moot point and clogging up the senates time is useless. So why trot it out for political purposesI have no idea if the bolded is true. If it is, why doesn’t Senate Majority Leader McConnell use it?

Who says you're the last word in what's constitutional or not? You are merely making assertions.MTAtech said:It's covered by the Constitution:

No it doesn't. It does not give Congress any authority over Presidential (executive) officers. What powers it has is specific to what is stated in that section, nothing else. It is not a general power over all of government. If it was, the Supreme Court could never overturn anything Congress does.
Quote what you say allows Congress to prohibit the president from firing one of his employees:

Mueller does not need protection and should not be given immunity from being fired if he starts to abuse his positionSo trying to protect Mueller means Flake is "Back-stabbing" all Republicans?
Flake non-stop attacks and 100% against Trump and Republican issues.
It would take 100% of Senator votes which would never happen, so it is just grandstanding. Flake has been campaigning for Democrats ever since he figured out he had no chance for re-election so it is more than just about Mueller.

He's voted pretty much lock-step with trump and republicans. so your 100% against trump and republican issues looks a little not right.
