Senator warns President!
Washington (CNN)Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Wednesday that the firing of Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller would be a "gross abuse of power" and called for Congress to respond with "significant consequences" if President Donald Trump took that step.
Warner, a Virginia Democrat, took to the Senate floor for a speech, in which, he said the firing of Mueller or the pardoning of those charged in the special counsel's investigation would represent crossing his "red line."

Re: Senator warns President!
Warner argued that the congressional probes into possible collusion between the Trump team and Russian officials -- the Senate Intelligence Committee, House Intelligence Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee all have open investigations -- were not the same as Mueller's investigation because Congress was not investigating potential criminal wrongdoing.
"It should be very clear that our committee cannot and will not stand as a substitute for Mr. Mueller's investigation," Warner said.
