What should be done about Mueller’s biased staff?
Powerline ^ | December 6,2017 | Paul Mirengoff

Posted on 12/06/2017 8:49:49 AM PST by Hojczyk

A biased criminal investigation of anyone is unacceptable. A biased criminal investigation of the U.S. president is intolerable.

How often do we hear that only banana republics investigate political losers (e.g., Mrs. Clinton)? I’m pretty sure I’ve said it myself.

We investigate political winners because it’s important to ensure that those who hold office don’t abuse the public trust. But to conduct ideologically biased investigations of political winners that place them in jeopardy of being removed from office is most assuredly the stuff of banana republics.

What to do? I concur with a friend who says that Rod Rosenstein should direct Mueller to fire everyone on his staff who has made a political contribution or otherwise could be reasonably thought to be a partisan. If Mueller refuses, as he certainly would, Rosenstein should fire Mueller.

Works for me. Sessions should order Rosenstein to do this...and if he refuses fire him.

And if he refuses...

"Agree. Rosenstein looks partisan himself."

You really think Rosenstein didn't know about all this when he appointed Mueller and when Mueller chose his staff? They've worked together for many years.

Rod Rosenstein should never have appointed someone with such obvious conflicts.
Rosenstein should be fired along with the rest of the Clinton lawyers masquerading as a Special Counsels office.

Rosenfeinstein should have been fired on Jan. 20 and replaced by someone else who could have appointed Mueller after Jeff semi-retired.

Bloggers aren’t in a position to do anything about anything, except bloviate about things where they have less than perfect information yet feel they are omniscient.

They need to disbanded ASAP and then investigated for possible crimes.

Sessions thinks that the DOJ guide lines take precedence over what the Chief Executive wants.

Rosenstein knew full well that Mueller was intimately involved in the matters that mattered and knew Mueller was the guy who could make sure those matters didn’t matter.

Exactly. The entire Mueller “investigation” looks like a cover-up of a cover-up of Obama and Clinton’s misdeeds.

What is normally done throughout history to organized groups of people in a Failed coup attempt??

They manufactured a reason for an investigation, then the investigation turns out to be a massive witch hunt looking fo0r any reason they can find to remove the duly elected President or severely diminish his authority.

Obviously they and their buddies would be in control then. That is what we used to call a Coup De’tat!!

Hopefully soon "Big" Bob Mueller, you won't be in the position to do anything but bloviate.

First off, Rosenstein is part of the problem, he "wants to see results", not bothered by the obvious conflicts...Muller and his merry gang of vicious litigators should all be fired....lesson 101 in Kangaroo Courts!

Removing President Trump has been the quest of GOPe's and Progressives from day one....is Sessions being blackmailed? What other reason is there for him to appear so cowed?
