Republicans are bluntly warning President Donald Trump to lay off his attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller, but there is scant support among the GOP to pass legislation that would prevent Trump from firing the special counsel.

Republican Senate leaders threw cold water Monday on passing a bill to protect Mueller, calling it unnecessary despite Trump's increasingly scathing attacks against the special counsel and his team.

McConnell's staff would only refer reporters to a January statement from McConnell when he said he didn't think Mueller needed any special protection because he didn't believe the President would fire him. An aide said McConnell's position had not changed since then.

4. They Won't Protect Mueller Because They Are In On It With Trump

Anyone who trusts Trump to do anything good is an idiot. He will get scared and fire Mueller. Guaranteed. Republicans would rather deal with the problem then, seeing how the political winds blow then, than force Trump to take his medicine.

Republicans are traitors who openly protect a known criminal owned by Putin.

5. Each day this drags on

With RepubliCONS doing nothing many more are voting to oust them all next Nov. . The Senate is now in play because of their positions to do nothing.
