Our authoritarian monster President is just itching to fire Robert Mueller. The special counsel needs to be protected. Especially when he is investigating the man that can fire him.

This just seems like a logical policy to have. You can’t have a system where the President can just fire the special counsel because he himself is being investigated.

The rule of law is important in America. It is the foundation of our very society. No person should be above the law. If special counsels cluld be fired with no legal recourse, any person above said special counsel could fire them for looking into crimes conmited. That would put that person above the law.

Mueller should be able to protect his investigation in order to protect the checks and balances to continue as a democratic republic. #45 and his profoundly corrupt appointees are doing everything possible to create a fascist dictatorship in our country, so checks and balances have never been more important. Imagine us citizens telling district attorneys they’re fired for investigating our possible crimes. Is #45 our dictator? Or are we a democratic republic?

Checks and balances need to be preserved.

This falls in the realm of checks and balances. The appointment of a Special Counsel is not to be done lightly and therefore needs sufficient protection to finish the work, regardless of how long that takes. Being able to challenge the firing of a Special Counsel provides some of that protection, strengthening the ability to speak truth to power.

Absolutely, especially since the special counsel may be on to something illegal or unethical

Especially when you have a group wanting to stop the truth from coming. No one should be protected from illegal activity whether connected to there political standing or private citizen -

Protect democracy by insuring our system of checks and balances. No one is above the law.

Robert Mueller must be allowed to follow the facts where they lead him. If you listen to the President or his propaganda network at Fox News you probably believe that this whole thing is a “witch hunt”. But if you would take a moment, remove your emotions for a minute a read on, I’d like to set the record straight. Robert Mueller was a Vietnam veteran, he returned home from that conflict with a bullet embedded in his body, a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for heroism. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School and has been a life long man of the law and Republican. He was selected to be the director of the FBI in July of 2001 by George W Bush and he was confirmed unanimously by the US Senate for a 10 year term. In July of 2011, as his term as FBI director was expiring Barack Obama asked that he stay on for an additional two years (this is unprecedented) and the Senate again confirmed his two year extension unanimously. This should speak volumes to his integrity, honor and ability. Men and women of opposite political parties respect his ability greatly, so much so that he was confirmed twice, unanimously, under a democratic and republican president. Robert Mueller is a life long Republican and man of the law who was appointed by a Republican Deputy Attorney General to follow the facts that are laid out before him. Given Robert Mueller‘s track record their is no precedent for concern regarding bias or a political agenda. The innocent man should not fear his investigation, and should welcome it, for it can clear his name. However a man with a conscience of guilt should be very worried, as Mr. Mueller has a track record of turning over every stone and following the money wherever it should lead. As Americans we should be comforted by this, our democracy is protected by men willing to do the right thing for our Nation, not their political party.

what law is there when the subject of an investigation has control of the investigator? how could that work with thieves, drug pushers, rapists, and murders if they got to dictate the course of an investigation and fire any one who grts close? it wouldnt, law would cease. so how can it be abided for the largest of potential crimes, treason and/or the undermining of the nation and people.

There should always be ways to check power between the different branches of government.

The republican congress is trying to cover up that Trump is guilty. When it’s over they should be voted out also for helping the Russians. The American people are not dumb they know what republicans are trying to do. Without the Russians Trump would not have been elected.

Though this bill would not be needed for any other administration in history, including Nixon's, it is ABSOLUTELY needed for 45's. Unlike any other administration, 45's has a propaganda echo chamber in Fox So-called News & GOP hate radio that does his bidding. They have already convinced 45's base that Mueller should be fired.

A Special Counsel, who is likely appointed to investigate politicians, MUST be protected from those same politicians. Nobody should be above the law in this country!

this president is becoming more and more like a dictator, we need to stop him.

Of course--if Mueller has reason to believe he's getting anywhere, we have to protect his investigation. All signs appear to indicate that he is getting somewhere.
