Gregg Jarrett: Why Robert Mueller should resign as special counsel
Fox News ^ | May 19, 2017 | Gregg Jarrett

Posted on 05/19/2017 2:21:18 PM PDT by Jane Long

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 Mueller’s 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.

So is Sessions stupid or did he know this and is putting pressure on Mueller to follow the law not his friendship?

I thought it was recused from campaign-related issues (which seems more expansive)?

So first Sessions punts, then his deputy punts to Mueller, who picks up the ball in order to take revenge for the firing of his good friend, Comey, who also punted, but on the Clinton investigation.

What a nest of vipers the whole of Washington, DC and its assorted hangers on is.

I am beyond both sad and furious that our nation has been brought so low. I would fight back if I knew how. Calling my senators and representative isn't going to help.

Why do we have a special prosecutor to begin with? Special prosecutor assumes a crime has been committed which has yet to even surface that it has and 2) congress should do their jobs and INVESTIGATE instead of outsourcing it to someone we did not elect. I mean what the hell do we send them up ther for anyway!?

One would believe that Asst AG Rosinstein (sp?) knew of Mueller's close working friendship with Comey before hand. What's up with Rosenstien? This gets smellier by the day

This may be the reason we have a delay in appointing an FBI chief

Why is it seem that our conservative Republican bunch always jumps right out of the frying pan and into the fire. Are we that stupid? No wonder we keep getting knocked down.

Sessions recused from much more than Russia.

“Having concluded those meetings today, I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-sessions-statement-recusal

Well, that is clearly not going to Happen. All of this was known in advance and Mueller has reportedly now resigned from his law firm to take on the SP duties full time. This looks like Rosenstein has made a biased selection in Mueller and now the almost limitless resources of a SP will be turned on Trump and all of his staff.
