But there is nobody this arguing now that Bob Mueller doesn't have legitimacy to investigate these facts and circumstances.
The Republican base wants this bill repealed and they want the people that they have voted for the last three elections really put in place to make this happen.
I can see a scenario where Jeff Sessions is replaced with a recess appointment and that attorney general doesn't fire Bob Mueller, but he just reduces the budget so low that his investigation grinds to almost a halt.
