Mueller facing new Republican pressure to resign in Russia probe
Fox News ^ | 10/27/17 | By Brooke Singman

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is facing a fresh round of calls from conservative critics for his resignation from the Russia collusion probe, amid revelations that have called into question the FBI’s own actions and potentially Mueller’s independence....

Critics question whether Mueller’s own ties to the bureau as well as fired FBI director James Comey now render him compromised as he investigates allegations of Russian meddling and collusion with Trump officials in the 2016 race.

“The federal code could not be clearer – Mueller is compromised by his apparent conflict of interest in being close with James Comey,” Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., who first called for Mueller to step down over the summer, said in a statement to Fox News on Friday. “The appearance of a conflict is enough to put Mueller in violation of the code. … All of the revelations in recent weeks make the case stronger.”

Rosenstein too must go.
What’s sickenning is Sessions keeps saying (before getting back to his naps) that Rosenstein is a “person of absolute integrity”.
Sessions too must go, months ago.

“Mulehead is about to break open the biggest scandal since the Rosenbergs.”

Rosenberg, Rosenstein....whatever.

...Well, Mueller can’t investigate himself for Russian collusion, so, the Democrats need a new investigator...

Of course he can. When asked about an investigation of Rothstein, Sessions even said Rothstein could investigate himself if he wanted to.

Sessions is a captive of the Dept. of Jokers’ Deep State Swamp Denizens.

He thinks he is above the law. He's a Special Prosecutor, and a former military Officer.

Therefore, where is the problem? Never mind honor and honesty.

Pressure in DC, is just flautation. Actual government throw people out or put them in prison when they do high crimes and misdemenors. Duh.

“Mueller should be charged with crimes in these Russian scandals himself.”

The trouble is, who’s going to press charges? Who has the authority? Can Congress do it? We know for sure castrated Sessions will do nothing.

Just for the political theater, President Trump should appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the DNC and Clinton campaign / election collusion and charges of bribery and influence peddling via the Clinton foundation.

Tecnically RR “hired him.”

Who interviewed him the previous day?

No “fall back.”

His original purpose.

My two cents: The Rats knew this would eventually happen. Mueller is there in a position to gather evidence... and hide or destroy it.

Maybe I wasn’t clear. Which job or position did Trump hire Mueller for?

Will Mueller’s investigation shine the line on any FISA warrants for President Trump & Co? I still want to know if this farcical dossier was the basis for spying on Americans.
