WASHINGTON President Trumps lawyers and aides are scouring the professional and political backgrounds of investigators hired by the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, looking for conflicts of interest they could use to discredit the investigation or even build a case to fire Mr. Mueller or get some members of his team recused, according to three people with knowledge of the research effort.
The search for potential conflicts is wide-ranging. It includes scrutinizing donations to Democratic candidates, investigators past clients and Mr. Muellers relationship with James B. Comey, whose firing as F.B.I. director is part of the special counsels investigation.
The effort to investigate the investigators is another sign of a looming showdown between Mr. Trump and Mr. Mueller, who has assembled a team of high-powered prosecutors and agents to examine whether any of Mr. Trumps advisers aided Russias campaign to disrupt last years presidential election.

Turnaround is fair play. No wonder Trump gave the interview to the NYT.
No other Republican official who have the guts to fight back like this. This is why we love this guy and will stand with him.
Fire Mueller, now. Then investigate his gang of criminals masquerading as a counsel.
1000%....
For more than 10 years when the GOPe called me for money/donations i would tell them, “when you start fighting for us as hard as we fight for you then call me for money- otherwise lose my number”...
this went on for almost a decade...they will try and take credit for Trump but they can go shove it...
Now we are talking. Fight fire with fire.
I doubt andrew weissman scares easily. He has taken down people in at least three of the crime fAmilies including a Don.
EXACTLY !
Maybe kushner Should fire Gorelick given she worked at same firm as mueller
They’re sure going to have to scour real hard to find any evidence of conflicts of interest.
The NYT truly is an enemy of the state.
Amen!!
Dittos to that FRiend...
Bingo !
F him
One problem is that, if President Trump is innocent, he doesn’t need leverage. He just needs the truth. This doesn’t look like a good path to walk. If there is no “there” there, then don’t worry about. Just proceed with governing.
No way in hell. There is a loose lasso tied up to the top of a willow tree that has been bent down to the ground. Trump is just waiting and baiting them to step in it. Trump plays nice, but in fights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIH-yDuSGIk
