WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Three Republican U.S. lawmakers called on Friday for Robert Mueller to resign as special counsel investigating Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, the latest in a series of conservatives’ criticisms of the FBI and Justice Department during the probe of how Moscow may have influenced the campaign.

I checked the list of copyright restrictions and didn't see Reuters on it, but if I missed it, I apologize in advance.

At any rate, it is Congressmen Gaetz, Biggs and Gohmert who are calling for Mueller's resignation because of a conflict of interest (FBI Director when Obama's Admin entered into the Uranium One agreement).

Clearly at minimum the appearance of conflict if not outright conflict. Should be subject of a complaint to his governing body. Why don’t the congressmen do that?

Now I’m hearing Sessions recused himself on Hilary as well? This is all insanity.

Sessions is useless and Trump needs to find a way to replace him with someone who is loyal and fearless.

I hope Robert Mueller’s life will be ruined by his corrupt investigation. It’s unlikely with so many in his social circle supporting the Left’s vendetta, but I can still dream.

I believe we/I was calling for this 6 months ago, now the economy is picking up internal polls show Trump well above 50 and trending higher, yeah lets get on the train. Paul Ryan and the Republicans are a terrible band.

“At any rate, it is Congressmen Gaetz, Biggs and Gohmert who are calling for Mueller’s resignation because of a conflict of interest . . .”

Sad the GOP congressional leadership is silent. If the shoe was on the other foot Schumer, Pelosi, and other Dem leaders would be on every news show demanding Mueller resign. As usual, Ryan and McConnell are silent as are McCain, Graham, Flake, Corker and the other GOP leaders.

Matt Gaetz is new to Congress but he has definitely arrived with a bang.

Could it be that Trump is waiting to see what happens to Judge Roy Moore senate election. If he looses maybe Trump will pick him for the AG spot. That would lite some fire works in a lot of more then one persons pants.
