Ex-GOP majority leader: Republicans must protect Mueller
BY JOHN BOWDEN - 07/07/18 04:33 PM EDT
Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) warned Republicans against continuing their "assault" against special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation in an op-ed published Friday. Writing for The Washington Post, Frist urged the Republican Party to fight for the "rule of law," even if it means going up against the Trump administration.
"Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is under assault, and that is wrong," Frist wrote. "No matter who is in the White House, we Republicans must stand up for the sanctity of our democracy and the rule of law."
"I am also a Republican because I believe in the rule of law. Republicans must fight for that principle today — even if it means pushing back against a Republican administration," Frist wrote.
"It isn’t easy to tell a president of your own party that he is wrong. But the assault on Mueller’s investigation does not help the president or his party," he added.
"When Trump talks about firing the special counsel or his power to pardon himself, he makes it seem as though he has something to hide. The president must remember that only Mueller’s exoneration can lift the cloud hanging over the White House," he wrote.
