supporting your legislation, something he believed has been necessary for a long time. there are republicans on board, as you say. but if mitch mcconnell, who said again and again, this legislation isn't necessary, i won't put it on the floor is saying forget it, does your bipartisan work even matter at this point? >> i think there's a growing ground swell within his own caucus, as there is among the american people that will carry the day and persuade him that there's a historic obligation here to show the president that there will be no tolerance for his firing the special counsel. i agree with mitch mcconnell, of course, that the special counsel should be permitted to finish the investigation, reach a full, fair conclusion. but he has tried twice to fire the special counsel. there's no reason for confidence. and the argument against it, the principle argument, is a constitutional red herring that we largely addressed in redrafting this bill.
