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.

I’m thinking along the lines of when Ken Starr took over the Lewinsky probe, when that wasn’t his original mandate, but was given to him anyway in the interest of efficiency.
The Mueller/U1 conflictS of interest would obviously seem to prevent it from happening, but since Mueller has already gotten away with blatant conflictS of interest in his current investigation, why would that necessary stop him in this matter either. Not to mention his fan club here, and likely elsewhere, who would insist how much integrity he has, and that he already knows where the bodies are buried but is ready to finally exhume them now, etc.
I’ll rate it at 50/50, unfortunately where we stand.
Mueller is working for Trump!
My 64,000 reply!
And three total words in each seems to be the maximum extent of your thought process. When you think you're finally able to make a coherent argument, much less carry on a full debate, let someone know. If they're listening anymore.
If the President’s real friends in the Administration want him fired, then so do I. Mueller’s ostensible (or whole) effort is looking pretty dirty now. Mr. Trump’s (and the Administration’s) work is looking cleaner and more honest than anything else up to this point in time.
Prove it. The reality is you can’t. I see nothing that even remotely supports that narrative. Besides Mueller should be no where near investigating Uranium One as he absolutely as conflicts of interest due to his personal involvement.
Which still represents a higher intelligence quota than yours.
Yep - fire him in private and burn him in a pyre on the House floor - that's the way to do it to set an example for future rogue prosecutors...
