.@RandPaul: "There really is no reason why Mueller is investigating things other than Russian collusion. If there is no Russian collusion, he should wind up, close his investigation, let's move on." pic.twitter.com/DuYj1wmshO— Fox News (@FoxNews) March 21, 2018
Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe was turning into “this sort of witch hunt now that’s become very very partisan.”
Paul said, “I think special prosecutors have too much power and that we really shouldn’t have them. I would not have appointed Mueller.”
He continued, “There really is no reason why Mueller is investigating things other than Russian collusion. If there is no Russian collusion, he should wind up, close his investigation, let’s move on.”

He added, “I haven’t seen any evidence of that, and I don’t believe there was any evidence. Did Russians try to influence our election? In all likelihood yes. What should we do? We should start working together to try protect ourselves both cybersecurity and otherwise and our electoral process. Absolutely let’s do that. But instead, it’s this sort of witch hunt now that’s become very very partisan. And now we’re seeing all these people from the intelligence community Brennan, Clapper, all of them, piling on and exposing themselves to be left-wing Democrats who hate the president. So yes I think we have to be very careful how much power we give to those in the intelligence community.”

Rep. Gohmert: ‘Mueller Should Be Fired’
Republican Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert said Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller should be fired.
WATCH:
“I think Mueller should be fired. He should be,” Gohmert said at a meeting with Republican congressmen. “He should never have been–he should never have been appointed, and he should never have accepted. He should be fired.”
“And the only reason that I think, he should not be in actuality fired is because we have some establishment Republicans in the House and Senate that say, ‘oh, gee, if he were to fire Mueller, you know–we might need to impeach the president,'” he continued.

“Even one senator saying that may be an impeachable offense. No, it’s not,” he said.
The White House has repeatedly denied having any intention of firing the special counsel.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said this week, “The White House yet again confirms that the president is not considering or discussing the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller.” (RELATED: Sanders: Trump Isn’t ‘Considering Or Discussing’ Firing Mueller)
