On Principles & Values: Impeachment appropriate is Trump fires Special Counsel

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) told the Washington Post that he would support impeachment proceedings against President Trump if the president ends special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election "without cause."

Said Flake: "We're begging him: 'Don't go down this road. Don't create a constitutional crisis. Don't force the Congress to take the only remedy that Congress can take. To remind the president of that is the best way to keep him from going down that road. To fire Mueller without cause, I don't know if there is any other remedy left to the legislative branch."
