Panicked Democrats Invoke Obscure House Rule to Force Action on Mueller Protection Bill

Democrats are invoking an obscure House rule Friday to force Republicans to take action on a bill that would prevent President Trump from unilaterally removing Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Of course this is a desperate move and will more than likely get shot down by House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA).

The obscure House rule has never successfully been invoked, so good luck to the Democrat losers wasting their time and resources.

Politico reported:


Three Democrats on the powerful Judiciary Committee are invoking an obscure House rule that permits a handful of lawmakers to call for a “special meeting” on any bill. If the committee’s chairman, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), declines to approve the meeting within three days, the panel’s 40 members of the panel — 23 Republicans and 17 Democrats — have an opportunity to overrule him and hold the meeting anyway.

“We do not take these actions lightly, but believe that we are left with no other choice given the circumstances,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the ranking Democrat on the committee, in a letteralso signed by Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.)

It’s a longshot gambit — the Republican-controlled committee is virtually guaranteed to support Goodlatte. But it’s the latest effort by Democrats to spotlight inaction on measures they describe as increasingly urgent as Trump has more aggressively challenged the validity of Mueller’s probe.

Robert Mueller is out of control and Americans are fed up with the Trump-Russia witch hunt.
