The Wall Street Journal is urging special counsel Robert Mueller to resign.
In an editorial, the newspaper cited "troubling questions" about Mueller and the FBI.
"The Washington Post and The New York Times reported Saturday that a lead FBI investigator on the Mueller probe, Peter Strzok, was demoted this summer after it was discovered he'd sent anti-Trump texts to a mistress," the Journal said.
"As troubling, Mr. Mueller and the Justice Department kept this information from House investigators, despite Intelligence Committee subpoenas that would have exposed those texts. They also refused to answer questions about Mr. Strzok's dismissal and refused to make him available for an interview."
And it said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is taking on a questionable role of resisting congressional oversight.
It noted the Justice Department has floated numerous reasons for ignoring the House subpoenas. And it claimed none of them were "persuasive."
"First it claimed cooperation would hurt the Mueller probe, but his prosecutions are proceeding apace," the Journal said. "Then Justice claimed that providing House investigators with classified material could hurt security or sources.
And the Journal said the time has come for Mueller to step down.
"The latest news supports our view that Mr. Mueller is too conflicted to investigate the FBI and should step down in favor of someone more credible," the newspaper said. "The investigation would surely continue, though perhaps with someone who doesn't think his job includes protecting the FBI and Mr. (James) Comey from answering questions about their role in the 2016 election."

If he indicts Hillary I’ll forgive him.
He’ll never step down. He loves the good Press and getting his picture in the paper.
The corruption and double-standards are sickening.
I know partisan politics rules the day, but I am completely baffled at how this Kabuki Comedy can continue without anyone from the DOJ or congress stepping up to speak the truth and start indicting and investigating what has gone on in the FBI, the Clinton Crime family, the DNC and all the rest.
Coup members don’t just get to step down. They need to be brought to justice.
Who was behind getting Rod Rosenstein appointed? This guy is poison.
Rod Rosenstein, deputy attorney general, defends Justice Department in wake of Trump criticism

If a constitutional crisis is required to knock the FBI off their perch as the self-appointed KGB of America, then so be it. We were never supposed to have a KGB. Moreover, they’re so affirmative action and Muslim infested that they probably can’t keep a secret for the time it takes it to fly around the world.
They seemed like such dedicated patriots... String ‘em up!
And the pay isn't bad either.
The WSJ would only say that if they thought Mueller was going after certain people other than Trump.
“but I am completely baffled at how this Kabuki Comedy can continue without anyone from the DOJ or congress stepping up to speak the truth and start indicting and investigating what has gone on in the FBI, the Clinton Crime family, the DNC and all the rest.”
Why would you be baffled? 96 plus percent of the swamp voted for that treasonous corrupt murdering harpy, Hillary rotten Clinton. Including most of the so called Republicans.

Oh no, Mueller wuvs his wittle Hitlery.
Haul Mueller’s butt in front of a House committee in a public hearing and make him explain this stonewalling.
“Who was behind getting Rod Rosenstein appointed?”
Jeff ‘the deep-state compromised rat bastard’ Sessions
Like that’s even going to happen. Right.
This snapping turtle will not let go until his source of energy, i.e. financing, is cut off or greatly diminished.
A lot of Dems and #NeverTrumpers are hoping he will succeed.
There should be more than one way to trap a rat.
Keep on leading him back to Hillary and company. She will quickly
‘take care of the problem’ for everyone.
