In response to growing concerns that President Trump will fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Adam White argued that Congress should focus on the procedural elements of any judicial review of a dismissal of the special counsel. Steve Vladeck challenged White’s argument and reiterated his previous contention that Congress should pass bipartisan legislation barring the president from firing Mueller without good cause. Bob Bauer argued that Congress should pass a bill requiring Mueller to report his findings to Congress if Trump fires him.
