Mark Warner: ‘Very Troubling’ that Trump Might Fire Rosenstein and Mueller

EXCERPT:

WARNER: "Well, first of all, I didn’t think this administration, this president, could surprise me anymore, but then he went off and fired Comey. So the idea that he would potentially fire Mueller or fire Rosenstein would be just remarkable and I think the Senate would then set up a separate independent inquiry because we just cannot allow this kind of action to go unaddressed. One of things that also surprised me when we had the attorney general in front of us last week, I thought I gave him a softball question and I asked him, you know, 'Please just assure us that there’s not at least been discussions in the White House about potential presidential pardons. And instead of getting a straight-up answer saying, 'Of course we have not discussed that,' we again got a punt answer from the Attorney General. So again, the idea that the President might fire Mueller, might fire Rosenstein or might be discussing pardons is really all very troubling, but we don’t know because this White House seems to give us a different answer every day."
