I find nothing inherently suspicious about a Special Counsel talking to a witness.
Well, I do...since said SC an witness are known, long time BFF’s.
Stinks....to high heaven, imo.
That’s fine.
Because there are so many investigations all going on at the same time, Comey will be testifying under oath on multiple occasions: its possible that he will appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee, the House Intelligence Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight Committee. Republicans chair all of those committees, then throw in investigations that don’t hold public hearings: CIA, NSA, FBI and finally the Department of Justice Special Counsel. All of those are investigating alleged Russian involvement in the election.
I see zero reason to have more than one investigation, if that.
It was the Trump Administration’s Justice Department that selected Robert Mueller as Specal Counsel.
It has been known for years that Mueller and Comey worked together in the Bush Justice Department though in different agencies, Justice proper for Comey and FBI for Mueller. Comey replaced Mueller as Director of the FBI.
