GOP resists calls for special prosecutor after Comey firing

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Republicans are resisting renewed calls from Democrats for the appointment of a special prosecutor to look into Russia's actions in last year's election after President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey.

Republicans, already facing a difficult legislative agenda, fear the controversy could become even more of a media circus and distract from efforts to pass healthcare legislation and tax reform through the Senate. 

Democrats ramped up pressure Wednesday by blocking committee hearings and objecting to routine procedural requests in protest of Comey’s dismissal.

Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) declared that Trump’s Justice Department could not be trusted to conduct an investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, which would include looking at possible links to the president’s campaign.
