GOP lawmaker calls for Mueller to be fired on House floor
The Hill ^ | November 8, 2017 | Brandon Carter

Posted on 11/08/2017 2:08:09 PM PST by Golden Eagle

In a speech on the House floor Wednesday, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) called for special counsel Robert Mueller to resign or be fired over his “indisputable conflicts of interest.”

“We are at risk of a coup d'état in this country if we allow an unaccountable person with no oversight to undermine the duly-elected President of the United States,” Gaetz said. “That is precisely what is happening right now with the indisputable conflicts of interest that are present with Mr. Mueller and others at the Department of Justice.”

“I join … in calling for Mr. Mueller’s resignation or his firing,” Gaetz continued.

Last week, Gaetz introduced a resolution that argues Mueller is compromised because he served as FBI director when the Obama administration signed off on a deal allowing a Russian company to purchase a Canadian energy company with uranium operations in the U.S. in 2010.

“These deeply troubling events took place when Mr. Mueller was the Director of the FBI. As such, his impartiality is hopelessly compromised. He must step down immediately,” Gaetz said in a statement Friday.

Gaetz is new to Congress, and therefore still thinking clearly...

Unprecedented in American history

Wouldn’t it be better done in private?

No, he’s an idiot. Whether he knows it or not, he’s working for Hillary.

Who? Mueller?

I'm pretty sure he knows who he's working for ... and it's not We the People.

Please give us your reasoning to a statement that does not stand very well on its own based on logic.

Insults are easy, and typically a weak self defense mechanism. What's your proof? Looks to me like he's sound minded, articulate, and sick of the BS going on in D.C.

He should be fired. Where he is fired is not important now.

Don’t care if he’s fired on the House floor or out by the dumpsters, just get it done.

Why are Democratic fantasies about Trump being investigated when malfeasance by Obama, Clinton as SoS, Clinton as candidate, the Clinton Foundation, and the DNC are not when there is a Republican President / Senate / House?

So Louie Ghomert is an idiot too, then, according to you, since Louie co-sponsored this resolution?

It’s almost as if they’re all part of the same swamp.

No! No! - if he ever lets us down, we would have to give up - no chance of survival if that were to happen! One of a kind!

If you are of the thinking that Mueller was flipped due to his involvement in Uranium One, then Gaetz is speaking without looking at the bigger picture (but not an idiot). Of course, if Mueller is indeed investigating the Democrats, then this would be kept quiet until the appropriate time, so Gaetz would have no way of knowing this. So technically, Gaetz and others are correct in wanting Mueller fired given what is known publically. But, that may not be the whole story.
