Gregg Jarrett: Why Robert Mueller should resign as special counsel

Robert Mueller has a serious conflict of interest that should disqualify him from serving as special counsel.
He has had a long and close relationship with someone who will surely become a pivotal witness James Comey.
No one doubts Muellers sterling credentials. That is not the issue. He is imminently qualified. The problem arises in his duty to fairly and objectively evaluate the evidence he gathers.
How can Americans have confidence in the results if they know the special counsel may harbor a conspicuous bias? They cannot. The conflict inevitably discredits whatever conclusion is reached. It renders the entire investigatory exercise suspect, and it only elevates the controversy surrounding it.

If Robert Mueller truly embraces a fidelity to the law and all its attendant principles of ethics, then he should disqualify himself from serving as Special Counsel.
Anything less threatens to subvert the rule of law and the trust Americans must have in their system of justice.

Didn’t Comey work directly under Mueller at one time?

As I recall, the first Whitewater special counsel (Fiske) didn’t last more than a few months before Ken Starr replaced him. So it could happen again if any conflicts of interest pop up.

Typical gambit to stretch out the “investigation”. Benefit the Demo-rats because of the “seriousness of the issue”. They don’t care that it is bogus and already denied.

‘Eminently’, NOT ‘imminently’.
Some lawyer. I wouldn’t hire him to represent me.

Doesn’t anyone look at these things BEFORE they make the appointment?
Or did they?
Did they intentionally look for someone sympathetic to Comey’s position?

Kimberly Strassel, who had excellent columns laying out Comey's unfitness before he was fired, has a column in the WSJ today about Mueller. She doesn't go as far as Gregg Jarrett but is clearly worried about Mueller's ties to Comey.
To: Jane Long
That does it.
We should now regard this investigation as null and void.

The fact that he won’t tells us everything we need to know about how deeply corrupted the FBI is.

The investigators have forfeited their right to investigate.

They probably just left the choice up to Schumer.

Agree. Where is all of this ‘evidence’? Like, say, the memo?

Trump should have chosen Cruz as his VP... Cruz is the only guy the Dems and Rinos hate and fear more than Trump, and Cruz was under no illusions about how evil the uniparty is...
