Lawmakers weigh Plan B to protect Mueller's work

[Uncle Joe]

"WASHINGTON — If Congress can’t protect special counsel Robert Mueller’s job, perhaps it can protect his work.

That’s the thinking among several lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who are discussing ways to safeguard the special counsel’s investigation into possible ties between the Trump 2016 campaign and Russia amid President Donald Trump’s escalating attacks.

As the probe closes in on the White House, much of the public debate has centered on the fate of Mueller and whether Trump might fire the former FBI director, who’s now led the probe for nearly a year.

According to three people briefed on the discussions, ideas include: Requiring that Congress receive Mueller’s final report; allowing Mueller, in the event he is fired, to release his findings publicly; or allowing him to resign and release his work if he feels his investigation is being improperly stifled."

1. So instead of doing the right thing, they make it positively Byzantine

If Mueller is fired, then on the second Tuesday of every consecutive month he can release one piece of damaging info via carrier pigeon to a reporter wearing a red sock on his left foot.
