Whether they were just close professional friends, or consider themselves personally friendly, the fact is that they are not at arms length. This relationship, at least as reported, appears to be much more than the routine interactions you might expect two law enforcement officers to have had in the regular course of business.
Something doesn’t seem right here. Comey manipulated the system into getting his friend appointed Special Counsel, and now that friend will be investigating matters in which Comey is a key witness. More than that, Comey’s own actions in leaking government property raise legal issues as to whether Comey himself violated the law.
Even assuming Mueller is able to separate his past with Comey from his present investigation, that relationship damages the whole purpose of having a Special Counsel who is completely independent in fact and appearance.
In a truly independent investigation, friends shouldn’t be investigating friends. Mueller should step aside to remove the taint on the Special Counsel investigation created by friend and witness James Comey.

Fire Rosenstein. He’s apparently a Deep State actor.
Ari has had his day ....now he needs to shut it!
Did you read what he said???
Its about giving them ammunition when you won’t stop talking.
Its why defense lawyers dont want to put defendants on the stand if possible.
One guy I talked to last night said he has done many cases over the years and said he has only put defendant on stand a few times.
>Trump had the guts to fire Comey. He should also fire Mueller.
If he fires Mueller it won’t be for a bit. Have to build up some leaking stuff against Comey to justify canning Mueller.
Sundance at Conservative Treehouse has an alternate theory that Mueller is Trump’s agent to go after Clinton and Obama and the spying. That would explain Comey’s odd statement that releasing the memos to get a special council appointed. Comey’s statement only serves in helping remove Mueller.
Couple of oddities about Mueller’s appointment: The dems where blind sided by it and didn’t have any talking points or propaganda bots ready for it. If Rosenstein was playing for their team they should have had something.
I’m personally not convinced by Sundance’s theory but we’re going to have to trust that Trump knows what he’s doing.
She goes through the twitter feeds of everyone from Anna Wintour to Ari Fleischer to the president. She’s probably advising them all. And she’s getting on everyone’s nerves. You can’t come on to one presidential threads without bumping into her inane posts.
Nice! Thanks.
