Today, Tapper asked Sen. Graham for his reaction if Mueller is indeed fired.
Well as I have said before, if he tried to do that, that would be the beginning of the end of his presidency because we are a rule of law nation, the South Carolina senator told the host.
But Sen. Graham also commented that what he saw at the FBI and Department of Justice regarding the dossier really bothered me. It was a paid political document, unverified, used inappropriately by the court, the two FBI agents investigating Clinton had a bias a bias against Trump in favor of Clinton, all that needs to be looked at.
Sen. Graham called again for a second separate special counsel to review Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, two top level FBI agents involved romantically who were caught exchanging thousands of texts showing concrete bias against candidate Donald Trump in favor of Hillary Clinton. However, he says that none of that should lead to Robert Muellers firing.
But when it comes to Mr. Mueller, he is following the evidence to where it takes him and I think its very important he is allowed to do his job without interference. And there are many Republicans who share my view, Sen. Graham said.
There is, of course, a snag (he wants a second special council over the Dossier) but nonetheless he and Republicans have begun speaking up about the subject and are publicly defending Mueller at this point. May be a good sign in the short term. ---
