The American Bar Associations top officer has warned the Trump administration and Congress to stay out of the way of the independent counsels probe of the Trump campaign, saying people are trying to use intimidation tactics to derail the investigation.
ABA President Hilarie Bass said the nature of American democracy depends on Mr. Mueller being able to get to the bottom of what happened surrounding the 2016 election.
The United States has a history of using independent investigations to protect the nation against abuses of power. For such investigations to work, they must be allowed to go forward unfettered by threats, intimidation tactics and interference by other branches of government, Ms. Bass said, as the ABA held its 2018 midyear meeting.
She said the questions Mr. Mueller is asking are of critical significance, and said democracy itself depends on allowing him to work independently.
The statement comes as the White House is planning to release a controversial memo drafted by Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican and chairman of the House intelligence committee.
The memo reportedly details surveillance abuses by the FBI.

Translation: the Democrat Party depends on allowing him to work independently
Wahh! Our lies are being uncovered!!!
I remember when they said the same thing about the Clinton’s treatment of Ken Starr — wait, strike that.
Never mind there is no proof of Russian meddling/collusion much less than an underlying real crime.
In a year Mueller hasn’t found any and there’s nothing to investigate.
And the indictments he did get had nothing to do with Russia.
How does the release of the memo inhibit Mueller’s independence?
The ABA does not speak for its members!
I guess Hilarie thinks subersion, sedition and treason against the President of the United States isn’t “unfair”. Suck it up cupcake!!! I’m not impressed by the American Barf Association. Never have been.
I am a member of the ABA. Their leadership is hard left.
Oh brother...
The infomration and evidence referenced in the memo will undermine the sedition and treason committed by Swampcritters and Demonicrats in the FBI/DOJ and the Mueller investigation.
The ABA is just another group of leftard scumbag lawyers. They continue to promote the Russian collusion farce and sanctimoniously pretend they care about the rule of law, truth and justice.
Fortunately, DJT doesn’t care what these leftist tools have to say.
Did the say one blessed thing about how Ken Starr was ridiculed, stalked to his home and picketed, ETC ETC?
The ABA is dominated by left wing trial lawyers and white shoe Wall Street law firms.
Effem. Effem all.
These leftist scum who are attempting a bloodless coup better watch out that it doesnt become the other kind. With the coup instigators on the losing end.
” . . . the nature of American democracy depends on Mr. Mueller being able to get to the bottom of what happened surrounding the 2016 election.”
For crying out loud! This ridiculous “investigation” has been going on for almost a YEAR. I think Mueller is trying to keep it going for Trump’s entire four-year term. Who’s obstructing WHO??
It’s surprising that the left wing ABA trolls took so long to defend their seditionist Marxist comrades infesting Washington.
I would expect nothing less from a fully politicized legal industry advocacy group.
Follow the money. there have been some links saying Mueller is making 1500.00 per hour on this. At the rate he’s going he stands to make about 5 million on this investigation by the time he’s done. So, it’s all about the money
Hey Hilarie, shouldn’t you be chasing an ambulance...or something?
Nope, no this Miami Dade County hack.
