Sorry, don’t have a lot of confidence in Mueller when he’s going after privileged communications because of Stormy Daniels.
Via Free Beacon:
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) said Tuesday that firing Special Counsel Robert Mueller would be “suicide” for President Donald Trump, while hinting the Senate could soon be tasked with confirming a new Supreme Court justice.
The FBI raided the office of Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen Monday, seizing documents related to a variety of activities, including his $130,000 payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels in 2016. Daniels has claimed she received the money as a hush payment for a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, which the White House has denied.
Trump lashed out against the raid on Cohen and the Mueller probe on Monday and Tuesday, telling reporters it was “disgraceful” and tweeting it was a “witch hunt.” Asked about potentially firing Mueller, who was appointed to the probe by the Justice Department, Trump said “we’ll see what happens.”
He also vented against Attorney General Jeff Sessions, whose recusal from the Russia investigation Trump has long criticized.
In an interview on Fox Business, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman said Sessions was doing a good job and Trump should not fire him either, while making a coy reference to there potentially being a Supreme Court vacancy in “a few months.”
“We’ve got three Cabinet people to approve now,” Grassley said. “We may even have a Supreme Court justice down the road a few months. The president shouldn’t be overburdening Congress with finding a new Attorney General and going through that.”
