A former U.S. attorney general under presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush is calling on members of Congress – Republicans included – to safeguard the special counsel investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election.
In an op-ed published by The Washington Post on Saturday, Dick Thornburgh expressed concern about what he called "unfair attacks on the Justice Department" perpetrated by some lawmakers and the White House.
He also voiced confidence for special counsel Robert Mueller, who is carrying out the criminal investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, praising him as "serious but not sensational and loyal to the rule of law."
"Elected officials must stress unambiguously their support of the role of the special counsel and guard his right to pursue this investigation in a fair and impartial manner," Thornburgh wrote.
"Through whatever means members of Congress deem appropriate, they must defend the rule of law and the integrity of the special counsel’s mission."
ETC...

Bleh. Mueller is a criminal enterprise all by himself.
Dick. Aptly named. RINO from the Mid-West.
I remember him saying the same thing about Starr
It’s as if he were Ed Meese.
NeverTrumper hatred runs deep.
These people have chosen evil over the will of the people.
This ain’t yer mama’s Justice Department you idiot!! Got Rip Van Sessions up there totally inept........you still have goons running the joint to destroy anyone and anything they can to cover their butts. Just shut your pie hole Thornburgh and go back to sleep!!
Anyone who defends mueller (with his history of destroying innocent people, and choosing all democrat lawyers in this investigation) automatically brands themselves as a deep stater.
Meese is 100x better than this swampster
They are preparing to do the same to the next democrat President.
You heard it here first:
* Every POTUS will now be investigated and it will start between election and inauguration.
* Every POTUS will be impeached the moment the opposing party gets > 50% in the House.
* The filibuster will not last mush longer — maybe not even past 2024. Mob rule will be the rule.
Mob rule and extreme politics are the new normal.
No comment on if this is good or bad It just will be. For as long as we last with a POTUS as we recognize it today.
Anyone who defends mueller (with his history of destroying innocent people, and choosing all democrat lawyers in this investigation) automatically brands themselves as a deep stater.
Just trying to get his name in the media...which will print ANYTHING that has any overtone of “anti-Trump” pinned to it.
SOS. Another loser pandering.
Seems to me the unfair attacks and sedition emanated from the Justice Department not us. The people involved intended to establish a marxist dictatorship. Sorry AG you are out to lunch on this one.
Bull Obama.
One does not defend one so obviously corrupt and inept.
Fire the b*stard, then research his mistakes and PROSECUTE the SOB.
Open letter to Dick Thornburgh
There is no real Special Counsel, only a Criminal Conspiracy to Cover up multiple crimes by the previous administration, and associates, and to criminally frame the current administration for the purpose of destroying it that would have never seen the light of day had Hillary Rotten Clinton won the election.
This isn’t the same political climate it was in your day sir. What they are doing to this country is unprecedented.
LOLOL .. Rip Van Sessions! Perfecto!!
Dick Thornburgh is 85. Some people still have it at that age, some don’t. I wonder if somebody wrote this uninformed screed for him.
