McConnell dismisses bill to protect Mueller: ‘We are not going to do that’

WaExaminer:

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday that the Republican-led Senate would not take up any legislation aimed at protecting special counsel Robert Mueller from being fired by President Trump.

“We are not going to do that,” McConnell said when asked if the Senate would move on the bill.

Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and Chris Coons, D-Del., plan to ask for unanimous consent late Wednesday to bring up such a bill, but their parliamentary tactic faces little chance of moving forward because a GOP lawmaker will move to block it. Without unanimous consent, the bill can only reach the floor if it’s scheduled by McConnell, who won’t do it.
