Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 21, 2018
On Monday, I addressed this House on the issue of Mr. Mueller and his important investigation in the Special Counsel's Office. I am concerned, as we leave on Thursday or Friday, that the President could fire Mr. Rosenstein--who has authority over Mr. Mueller--or fire Mr. Sessions and put somebody in who will jeopardize Mr. Mueller's investigation. Accordingly, a bill I have, H.R. 4669, was filed in December to protect Mr. Mueller. It gives him due process rights--if he is fired-- to go to court before a three-judge Federal panel to show that he was fired for purposes which were political and not relating to his job performance. I am filing a discharge petition today. I will be filing it in 10 minutes, asking all Members of the House to sign it; to bring this bill to the floor immediately for a vote so that we can protect the special counsel, protect Mr. Mueller, and protect America. God Bless America. ____________________
