I heard Greg Jarret mention a couple days ago that it has been a known fact since Day #1 that Mueller discussed the Comey firing with Trump at their meeting. Which means he was a WITNESS in his own investigation. Which is illegal and he was required by law to recuse himself before ever accepting the job. This is the question that blows the entire scandal wide open and also is the reason Mueller will never be appearing. Nadler may talk about it but he will never swear him in.
There is no "recusal law." Recusal is an ethical or policy decision. The point of recusal is to maintain the fiction of impartiality.
Take a poll of how much of the population thinks Mueller was impartial. Mueller participated in an institutional failure. DOJ and SC used for political purposes. Meh, I've come to the conclusion that this is normal conduct by the government.
You pre-suppose that some Republican on the Judiciary Committee will actually have the stones to ask a question like this.
That (Gestapo) Mueller was conflicted, even complicit, is beyond question. But no one calls the SOB out on it because he’s on the the Deep State’s Primes - untouchable. Just ask the 4 guys that he locked away in prison (2 of whom died there) on murder charges when he KNEW that they were innocent (and the US government - that’s us - had to pay $100 million to them or their families in compensation for what (Gestapo) Mueller (and his stooge, Weissman) did.
I don’t wish this on many people at all, but I hope for (Gestapo) Mueller to have a long and painful terminal illness - starting soon. Phuck him, he is the best example of what is wrong with our government.
