Give Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) credit for finally saying that firing special counsel Robert S. Mueller III would be impeachable conduct by President Trump. If it were a Democratic president, Graham conceded, Republicans would “all have a different view.”Several things follow from this outpouring of candor. If they wanted to clear up any confusion, they could pass legislation — or simply a resolution — saying firing Mueller would be grounds for impeachment. They should be given the opportunity to go on the record now (and before the midterms) and tell us that firing Mueller is grounds for impeachment. They can give their reasons — and explain why only firing Mueller (not firing Comey, for example) would trigger impeachment.
