    Senate Republicans today for the most part downplaying Trump tweet calling on Sessions to end Mueller probe, with most saying Sessions can't end it since he's recused and dismissing the tweet as Trump just blowing off steam.

        Asked if Trump's tweet should force Senate to take up a bill he co-sponsored to protect Mueller, Thom Tillis told reporters: "He wants to see the investigation closed. He didn’t say anything in the record that I reviewed this morning that he wants him fired. There’s a difference"

        The president committed obstruction of justice, whether Sessions or anyone acts on it doesn’t matter. This is the same as conspiracy, it doesn’t matter if it was successful, just plotting is a crime. The GOP is saying presidential crimes do not matter if it’s a Republican POTUS.

        Exactly. The Roe Vs Wade issue and other issues are very important too but Trump picked Kavanaugh because he could shut down the investigation. GOP refusing to release Kavanaugh’s WH records is a huge red flag.

        Im tired of this @GOP apologizing for his illegal and immoral behaviors. They would vote to impeach any democrat who did the same.

        Amazing that our senators blow off the President's comments. So, I guess what he says no longer matters to them? Let's consider that for a moment.

        It doesn't matter if Trump is just "blowing off steam", it's how it'll be interpreted by his base that matters, and they take his word as gospel.

        That's right. Describing it as "blowing off steam" doesn't change what it is.

        Has anyone asked Republicans if it's appropriate for an American president to "blow off steam" in public, period, much less on TWITTER, and even less while committing more Obstruction? Asking for a nation in peril.

        If Trump phoned Sessions and told him he wanted the investigation closed, it would be clearly obstruction. Saying it on Twitter is no different.
