The Democrats immediately came out swinging on the first day of the 116th Congress in an effort to flex their muscle.

Led by incoming House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), a group of Democrats moved to protect dirty cop Robert Mueller with legislation.

The bill, formerly known as the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act, would ensure Mueller could only be removed for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest or other good cause.

The bill would also make sure Mueller is given written notice of his removal and the chance to challenge the move in court.

We are way past misconduct from Mueller – he is leading a soft coup to remove a duly elected president.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has repeatedly blocked legislation protecting Mueller from even reaching the Senate floor.

The House Democrats have also vowed to use their subpoena power, if necessary to make sure Robert Mueller’s report on Trump be made public.

California Congressman Brad Sherman also reintroduced articles of impeachment against President Trump Thursday.

All in all, Thursday was nothing but showboating — the Democrats did what they do best — waste time and taxpayer money with legislation that has zero chance of passing both chambers.
