tillis: mr. president, i ask consent notwithstanding the provisions of rule 22 at 12 noon on thursday there be four minutes of debate equally divided and the senate then vote to invoke cloture on the pompeo nomination and if that motion is invoked, all time be considered ex binder the senate -- expired and the senate vote on confirmation. i further ask following disposition of the pompeo nomination, the senate resume consideration of the grenell nomination with the time until 1:45 p.m. equally divided in the usual form and at 1:45 p.m. the senate vote on the nomination. if cloture is invoked that the senate vote on the confirmation without intervening action or debate and with respect to both nominations, the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, and the president be immediately notified of the senate's actions. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection, so ordered. mr. tillis: thank you, mr. president. mr. schatz: mr. president. the presiding office

senator tillis. sen. tillis: thank you mr. chairman. i appreciate your leadership and having the special counsel bill on the agenda next week. just want to cover a few things. i hadn't intended to speak, but let's first start with the position that leader mcconnell took this week. i was speaker of the house in north carolina. if this bill were working for the statehouse and i knew we didn't have the votes on the floor, i would make the same statement. the reality is it is on us to get the votes to get it passed. there is one of two ways we are going to get it passed. we are either going to dispense with the drama, take a look at this bill in terms of its having enduring value. i for one do not think the president is going to fire the special counsel, but i can't say that for future presidents. for some who have suggested i am filing this bill because i don't trust the president, it is quite the contrary. i trust this president on this issue. what i don't trust are future presidents that i don't know yet. i know if we pass this bill that

senator tillis? >> thank you, mr. chairman. for the last three years i've been on this committee as a non-attorney, ever every once in a while i wonder whether i wished i'd gone to law school and became an attorney and senator lee's comments make me glad that i didn't because i don't think there's any way i could match him on the arguments. in fact, it sounds like the arguments that may go before the court when equal numbers of people are on either side of the issue. back when i was speaker of the house when we would pass certain bills to try to assert legislative authority versus the executive branch i would have meetings like these in my office where it wasn't clearly decided. i never allowed a bill to advance where i think it was unconstitutional or inconsistent with the state constitution but i think this is an issue that's going to be debated. it may open up what senator lee asserts is a bad law decided by the supreme court but let me tell you the main reason why i have a problem with this amendment aside from the fact tha

thom tillis votes with the resident 96% of the time, and it's not just thom tillis and lindsey graham. you often, you have to recall the chairman of the judiciary committee is chuck grassley. iowa, a longtime trump supporter, he said he plans to bring this to a vote this week. in his committee, no matter what my donald trump has to say. no matter what the senate majority leader has to say. he thinks it's necessary. what thom tillis said, speaking to other trump supporters and evidence of a crack finally in the uniform, stonewall republicans have given trump and made the republican party into the party of trump. thom tillis headed hillary clinton was in the white house and there was talk about firing a special prosecutor, trump supporters would say it was hypocrisy. >> laura: it's a fantasy. this is what the liberals have been begging for for donald trump to fire bob mueller. this has been a story line the left has been pushing for months and months on month-end monocot i want you to jump in because thom tillis who said courage is when you know you're going to do something that's going

but s tom holiday tillis never d president trump. he's terrible on the issue of immigration and on the trade issue. why are we surprised that thom tillis and lindsey graham, who are not poppulous conservatives are doing this mueller dill. >> it should be. thom tillis votes with the president 96% of the time. it is not just thom tillis and lindsey graham, you have to recall that thehe chairman of te judiciary committee is josh grassley. iowa, a long-time trump supporter. he says he plans to bring this to a vote this week in his committee, no matter what donald trump has to say. no matter what the senate majority leader has to say. he thinks this isness. what tillis said speaking to other trump supporters and evidencing a crack finally in the uniform stone wall that republicans have given trump, and made the republican party into the party of trump. tillis saidth if hillary clinton was in the white house, and some talk about firing a special prosecutor. >> laura: there's no talking about. this is a big fantasy. >> laura: this is a big

thank you, tilly. it is my pleasure to wrap up our annual walk to workday morning walk, and i want to thank everybody that's been here. it's been an amazing city family that's joined us today. i want everybody to take this energy and momentum into their work creating more walkable streets and neighborhoods and promote safe streets. before i end this program, i want to thank this year's walk sf sponsor, and san francisco is one of the most walkable cities because we have city support, private support. everybody's in this together as you can see, so thank you, everybody here, and have a great walk to workday.

the bipartisan legislation introduced by senators graham, coons, tillis, and booker has no real down sides to it. it would simply provide a legal avenue to restore the special counsel if existing d.o.j. regulations are breached and he's fired for political reasons. so what is the reason not to do it? why not head off a constitutional crisis at the pass rather than waiting until it's too late? the rule of law is fundamental to the functioning of our democracy. why even flirt with the prospect of a president challenging the very nature of our system of government? so i would urge my friend, leader mcconnell, to think twice about this. think not simply of his responsibilities to his party. not simply to doing what the president might want, but to our country and our constitution. and if you think of it in those terms, i think it's inevitable that we would want to pass this legislation. and that's because the rule of law is fundamental to the functioning of our democracy. to flirt with the prospect of a president challenging the very nature of our system of government is a real mistake.

i would want to emphasize the admonition senator tillis gave thisis whole body earlier and iy took it as a very pointed advice that this should not be a politicized moment. this is not about one president at this point in time looking into the future it is really important that showed a president of the united states or their associates be under investigation by the special counsel, that there are reasonable checksth and balances on the power of the president to undermine the rule of law and such an investigation. i really believe this can be a point where this committee, like our founders did at times, pulling themselves out of the exigencies and the politics of the moment a look at the longer story of a country. we can do something here today that could provide commonsense pragmatic checks and balances to executive authority at a time that i've watched in congress, especially on things like the authorization to use military force, slip away from the article one branch of government to the article to branch. it is my hope that my colleagues understand that this is a very modest step

also i wantat to commend senators tillis, kuhn and graham and booker. they were the four that put this together. and as such they have become very important authors of what isim an important law to be passe passed. the bill before us and the grassley substitute other people of these hours of negotiation and i support both. as we the department of justice regulations say special counsel can only be removed forr misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interes interest, or other goodte cause. the bill codifies these regulations to provide an extra layer of protection over the special counsel for defendant the bill does this by providing for judicial review and the city for special counsel were to be fired for unjustified political reasons, the decision could be challenged in court i understand some of my colleagues have concerns about the constitutionality of this legislation. based on what i have learned, i believe it is constitutional and i say that as either a constitutional expert or even a lawyer but let me quote professors of the wit

tillis: did, this is senator tillis noted, this is about investigations going forward. for me this issue has hit hard as a former prosecutor. i spent eight years doing that job. we would have cases come before us all the time where maybe the victim wasn't very sympathetic or maybe you knew the defendant, or it was some kind of white-collar case of someone people liked in the community. you would always have to see your job as being a minister of justice. your job was to convict the guilty and to protect the innocent. that you had to do your job without fear or favor. that is why my blood boils when i hear some of the comments you are on tv or threats of hiring people that you have to follow the law where ever it leads you. you doesn't mean you don't have discretion sometimes to be compassionate about how you follow the law. but the law is clear. the intent of the justice department rules are clear when they say you cannot fire someone except for good cause. ist this bill simply does take that concept and makes it clear that you cannot just run all over our rule of law.

constitutional crisis off at the pass by passing the bipartisan legislation introduced by graham, tillis, booker, and coons, and take the threat of a crisis off the table right now. so i urge senator grassley to schedule a hearing and markup on this bill, to report it out of his committee. we must be sure not to water it down with amendments or accept changes that would render it useless. i urge leader mcconnell to then take that bill to the flood put it on the floor where we can debate it and pass it. surely something this serious deserves the time and attention of u.s. senators, and i dare say if legislation, bipartisan legislation like this came to the floor, it would pass by a large majority, members of both parties, and pressure on the house to do just the same would be large. the rule of law cannot be a partisan issue, should not be a partisan issue. we cannot let it become a partisan issue. the congress must speak clearly, loudly, with one voice by passing legislation to ensure that any effort by the president to remove special counsel mueller, deputy attorney general rosen tine w

tillis and senator graham. i believe the 14-7 vote sends a clear message that not everyone agreed on the but a clear message that we must protect this investigation and the investigations going forward. this is not just about this investigation, it is about all investigations going forward. for me, this issue has hit hard as a former prosecutor. i have spent eight years doing that job and we have had cases all the time or the victim was not very sympathetic or you knew the defendant or was some kind of white-collar case for someone people like in the community and you would have to see your job as being a minister of justice. guiltyb was to can it be and protect the innocent. you had to do your job without fear or favor. that is why my blood boils when i hear some of the comments from people either on television or threats of firing people. you have to follow the law wherever it leads you in that does not mean you do not have discretion about being compassionate about how you follow the law of the justice depar

a word about senator tillis. i believe you get it, sir.left, but right and wrong. let me quote you from the greatest of all conservatives, edmund burke. here is burke paying tribute to a leader who dared do what was right, knowing he would be attacked for doing so. he well knows what snares are spread about his path from personal animosity and possibly from popular delusion. but he has put his ease, his security, his power, even his darling popularity, he is reduce odd to abuse for supposed motives. ewill remembobliquy is a necess ingredient. he can never succeed what he does this day. senator thom tillis, for the principle of even handed justice, a profile in courage. and that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us.

i think as my lawyers have looked at the legislation, you're talking about the tillis legislation, theyelieve that it is not consistent with that constitutional right. it doesn't mean that the president should do it, he should not. but i don't think that there is an easy way for congress as a legislative branch to step in between a president and an executive branch employee. i just -- i worked at both ends of pennsylvania avenue, i've been on the executive side and legislative side, and our founders did not intend for congress to be able to intervene in terms of hiring and firing of executive officials. so i think that's an issue with the legislation. however, i do think the congress ought to speak, as i have spoken clearly over time, about this, saying that we ought to let the mueller investigation proceed, we ought to let him get to the bottom of this issue. the american people want to know, particularly to avoid the russians and others meddling in our next election, need to know what happened, why it happened, how it can be avoided going forward. >> and real quick, since it is tax da

and tom tillis making the case this is good for the president to take away this speculation about whether mueller stays or goes. would you support that legislation if it came to the floor? >> well, it is my understanding that my senior senator from iowa, chairman chuck grassley, will bring this up in judiciary for a discussion. i would like to see the final text of that before i state whether i would support it or not. we'll see where this goes. i don't believe that the president will fire mueller, we'll see, but i certainly want to see that text, and i'm glad that they will have the discussion. >> finally, i want to get you to respond to this criticism. james comey laid at all of congress in his book on the attacks of the law enforcement community. he writes this -- i know there are men and women of good conscience on both sides of the aisle who understand this, but not enough of them are speaking out and they must ask themselves to what or to whom they owe a higher loyalty. their silence is complicit and it is a choice and somewhere deep down they must know that. do you accept this crit
