Muellers Investigation of Trump is About To Collapse Due to His Anti Trump Staff

So at this point it looks like Muellers investigation is pretty much compromised due to the anti Trump folks on his staff.

"One of special counsel Robert Mueller's top investigators has come under fire from conservatives.
That investigator, Andrew Weissmann, one of the team's most prominent members, sent an email to former acting Attorney General Sally Yates praising her for not defending the Trump administration's travel ban.
He also reportedly attended 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's election-night party."

There might be a counter investigation into the members of Muellers team

Mueller is either incompetent or corrupt.

Either way, Trump is home free now. He was already innocent, but now the proof is there that this is nothing more than a partisan witch hunt conducted by a bunch of sore losers.

I don't think I've ever seen so many feelings hurt in an entire calendar year. Put dems and libs on suicide watch.

The central figure in both probes is FBI agent Peter Strzok. Strzok helped conduct the sweetheart interviews of Clinton, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin in the email investigation, in which the latter two blatantly lied about their knowledge of the bootleg server. They were not charged. Strzok also changed then-FBI Director James Comey’s draft language on Clinton’s use of her illicit server from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless,” which is the difference between criminal behavior and an unconscious error.

Strzok promoted the Fusion GPS “Steele dossier,” the sketchy gossip-ridden anti-Trump document paid for by the Clinton campaign and compiled with input from Russian intelligence sources. This document was used to persuade a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to authorize government surveillance of members of the Trump team during a political campaign. It was an unprecedented investigative intrusion into the American political process that makes Watergate look like amateur hour.

Hahahahaha, I say let the whole investigation continue. Let the Democrats hang themselves. The best thing Trump can do is nothing.

There is no requirement or expectation for legal professionals to be apolitical.

Mueller and Rosenstein are well known Republicans, as are a lot of FBI investigators.

This is a thing drummed up by the extremists among the Republicans to discredit the investigations, and nothing more. It isn't going to work, either.

So, a guy texted his girlfriend during the election about what a piece of **** Trump is, and on that really thin bases was removed (which says something of the high standards at work)?

It's not a scandals, just a desperate grasping at straws.

Another Mueller investigator shown to be biased. (I believe we're up to 4 now.)

Top Mueller investigator's Democratic ties raise new bias questions

Yet another member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigative team is facing questions over potential bias after it emerged that she used to represent ex-Obama aide Ben Rhodes and the Clinton Foundation.

Jeannie Rhee is a former partner at WilmerHale—the high-profile law firm where Mueller worked prior to taking on the special counsel role. She is one of at least three attorneys who followed Mueller from WilmerHale.

At the firm, Rhee focused on representing people in government investigations, including white-collar criminal probes and criminal and civil fraud matters.

But this week, details of Rhee’s client relationships emerged, revealing that she represented Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes during the House Select Committee on Benghazi’s investigation of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack.

But this week, details of Rhee’s client relationships emerged, revealing that she represented Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes during the House Select Committee on Benghazi’s investigation of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack.

Rhee's connection to Rhodes was first revealed on Fox News by Laura Ingraham on Tuesday, where the primetime host cited it as more evidence that Mueller’s team is biased.

Also this week, it was reported that Rhee represented the Clinton Foundation in 2015 against a racketeering lawsuit brought by conservative legal activist group Freedom Watch in 2015. Rhee also represented former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a lawsuit seeking access to her private emails.

On the Mueller team, Rhee reportedly is focused on the claims that the president tried to obstruct justice and push former FBI Director James Comey off of the Russia investigation earlier this year.

Rhee married the former Christopher Sclafani, who took his wife's last name, in 1995, after the two met at Yale University. Mr. Rhee, also an attorney, has a history of working with prominent Democrats, serving as a special assistant to then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder, and as counsel to Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Mr. Rhee did not respond to Fox News' request for comment.

Aside from her personal and professional relationships with prominent political figures on the left, Rhee has a history of large political donations to Democrats. Rhee donated a total of $5,400 to Clinton in 2015 and 2016. Rhee also donated a combined $4,800 to Obama in 2008, and the same amount again in 2011. Rhee has also contributed smaller amounts of money to the Democratic National Committee and multiple Democrats running for Congress.

FBI Agent ‘Scandal’ Revealed to Be Even More Stupid Than Previously Known

The Republican Party has spent the last two days in a frenzy of indignation over the disclosure that an FBI agent who worked on the Clinton and Trump investigations (and has since been removed) sent texts to another agent, whom he was reportedly dating, criticizing Trump. The story was driven by the curious decision by Trump’s Department of Justice to leak partial excerpts of the texts. It produced sensational headlines like, “In texts, FBI agents on Russia probe called Trump an ‘idiot’; Messages could fuel GOP claims that bias tainted Clinton and Trump investigations,” (Politico) and “In Texts, F.B.I. Officials in Russia Inquiry Said Clinton ‘Just Has to Win’” (New York Times).

The main problem with this pseudo-scandal is that nobody has ever previously expected FBI agents not to privately express political viewpoints. Indeed, to prosecute liberal bias at agencies that lean rightward and kept the Republican nominee’s very serious investigation private while publicizing the trivial investigation into the Democratic nominee is perverse in the extreme.

There turns out to be another flaw in the “scandal.” The main agent in question also wrote text messages criticizing Democrats, reports Del Quentin Wilber. His messages included calling Chelsea Clinton “self-entitled,” and mocking Eric Holder. He wrote, “I’m worried about what happens if HRC is elected.” Of course, we don’t know the context of that any more than we know it for the other texts. If the administration had leaked these texts instead or in addition, the narrative would have been completely different.

The scandal is that the Department of Justice selectively leaked private texts from its agents in order to placate the White House’s desire to discredit the special counsel. And the news media let itself get suckered.

So the didn't like either candidate. Nothing to see here except Trump's justice department selectively releasing texts in order to make the FBI look bad and Trump look like a martyr.

It's not drummed up be extremists, this is a real thing. Doesn't matter if Mueller or whoever is republican when you have key players on your team with an anti-Trump agenda, it compromises the investigation because now there is a defined bias against the person they are investigating.

This investigation was a bunch of horse **** from the beginning, now its starting to crumble from the amount of accumulated weight of the horse ****

Did you watch Rosenstein's testimony before the House the other day?

A handful of the lunatic fringe of the Republican party raised these topics, and have been roundly criticized ever since, in particular by their Democratic House colleagues, for the very obvious stunt which it was.

You probably didn't see the testimony though. You probably don't realize that this is purely a political agenda by a fringe group of extremists, who are merely and transparently trying to cover Trump's ass.
