Anger at Special Counsel Robert Muller Burns White Hot on the Right Wing
The Hill ^ | 11/26/17 ast | BY JONATHAN EASLEY

Anger at Robert Mueller is burning white-hot on the right and in conservative media, where calls for the special counsel to recuse himself from the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election have reached a fever pitch.

President Trump has largely held his fire on Mueller, even as the probe into his campaign officials has intensified. White House lawyers are hopeful that the investigation will end soon and absolve the president and his inner circle of wrongdoing.

But the influential conservative media outlets that Trump is known to follow closely have been building an expansive case against Mueller.

From Fox News to Breitbart and talk radio, conservative media has been drawing attention to Mueller’s relationship with fired former FBI Director James Comey and his hiring of Democrats for his investigative team. They also argue Mueller has gone far beyond his mandate of investigating Russian interference in the election.

Conservative media has taken a new tack against Mueller in recent weeks, zeroing in on the sale of Canadian mining company Uranium One to the Russia state-owned nuclear firm Rosatom.

Uranium One, at the time of the deal, held licenses for about 20 percent of America’s uranium production capacity. The sale was approved by nine members on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) in 2010, while President Obama was in office. Mueller was the director of the FBI at the time.

But reporting by The Hill has shown that the FBI had knowledge of bribery and racketeering schemes at Tenex, a subsidiary of Rosatom, before CFIUS approved the deal.

As crazy as his attack-dog methods are going so far, uncovering nothing real but persecuting, not prosecuting, it wouldn’t surprise me if he does invent a crime to try to get Trump and then someone who is a real patriot gives him a 9mm recusal. He’s pushing for Civil War II. Seriously.

Trump is the type that gets wherever he neds to get to first and thus make the money. These losers in politics are in a rat race to the top and this is not Trump’s cup of tea, almost like it amuses him to see these communisted imbeciles do it. But it does extreme damage to society in the meantime.

Seeing these perving like Mueller fall for the intoxicated democrats and the intoxication is both amusing , disgusting and warranting condemnation due to the harmful nature.

Mueller is legally required to recuse from Uranium One, since he is a principal in the case.

Try another shot!
