Jeff Flake: I Don’t Understand How My Colleagues Don’t See Protecting Mueller a Priority

‘It does need to come to the Senate floor and it’s worth using a little leverage here’

RUSH EXCERPT:

FLAKE: “This legislation was passed in April and on a bipartisan basis, which we don't often get out of the Judiciary Committee, including our chairman voting for it. Since that time we've processed 50 judges and we need to do judges. We've done that on the floor of the house. What I'm saying -- I'm sorry, the floor of the Senate. What I'm saying is that this has to be priority now. We have a situation where the president has fired the attorney general and given authority of the investigation by someone who has not been confirmed by the Senate and has expressed hostility to the investigation. How my colleagues don't see this as priority now, I don't understand. It does need to come to the Senate floor and it's worth using a little leverage here.”
