No, Congress can’t prevent Trump from firing Mueller. I think firing Mueller would be a bad idea, but if I were Trump, I would refuse to be interviewed, and if I were subpoenaed by a grand jury, I’d ignore it.

Does Manchin think the Special Counsel is part of the judicial branch?
I think this is a very revealing comment in light of the stealth civil war post the other day. They absolutely are shifting control to where they have power which right now is only the lower courts. So yes, they think of the special counsel as an extension of that branch even though it isn’t actually.
Cart – horse – before. Mueller was not fired, nor will he be. There is no reason to pass any Constitutionally dubious legislation and the Republicans are not up for it at this time. Trump’s biggest problem is a perjury trap that would try to prove obstruction. Trump says he wants to talk to Mueller, but he is also listening to his attorneys. They will rightfully try to restrict the questioning as much as possible. They will advise Trump not to answer in absolutes, insist they be present during questioning and as has been noted before, memory loss during testimony or lack of knowledge is not any kind of criminal offense nor is exercising executive power when it comes to the firing of Comey. Trump’s best defense is, “I don’t remember”, “I didn’t understand that to be case” and “That was not my interpretation.” So it once again it all comes down to “… what your definition of is, is…” I for one welcome the fact that Mueller is moving on to Trump at last. Once this is done the pressure will mount on Mueller to present his findings, likely before the mid-terms later this fall. And then we will be done with this…

Yes. There is a logical progression to an investigation like this. Investigate staff, some finances ect. But each step along the way was portrayed by the media as something that would not have happened unless there was collusion. Now that Trump will be talked to, they say, the collusion goes all the way up to Trump.
The media has been so sensational in their reporting, its more like wish casting.
