Former FBI Director Mueller to lead Trump-Russia probe

 

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department has appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as a special counsel to oversee a federal investigation into potential coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election.

 

The appointment Wednesday comes amid a growing Democratic outcry for someone outside the Justice Department to handle the politically charged investigation.

 

It follows the revelation Tuesday that fired FBI Director James Comey wrote in a memo that Trump had asked him to end an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

I like this pick. Robert Mueller will do a good job.

 

This is how I feel too.

 

I also agree with the others this is what we should have done with the Clinton Email Investigation and I also wonder how deep this investigation will go and what is covered.

 

I would think Mueller would have to look at unmasking if any of the people unmasked were Trump associates speaking to Russians. There is no way you could have a complete picture, especially if the investigation was politicized in any way, without looking at everything Russia and everything that is suspect within our own Government that has ANYTHING to do with Russia.

The Comey question: Some conservatives say Mueller has a conflict in the Trump probe | Fox News

 

Really? No one saw this conflict of interest prior to his hire? Now that the spotlight is hot Mueller is too partial?

 

I can't see many conservatives following the hardline Trump supporter thinking. Many have gone on record celebrating the pick of Mueller.

Why is most folks calling this a Trump or Trump/Russian probe... Trump is not under investigation... The left seems to be shifting their tactics to discredit Trump from Russia, since there is no evidence, to a obstruction probe... No evidence there either... Where do they go next ??

That has been shot down by the DOJ already today. Assistant AG that the investigation reports to says basically he is the only one that could fire him and he would have to describe in writing to Congress why he fired him. He said it's not happening.

 

That said, most of the people Mueller has hired are people that are ardent Democrat supporters based on election campaign reports of their political donations.

I keep hearing that there is "no evidence". He told the FBI director that he "hoped" he could let the Flynn matter go. He received no response and a week later fired Comey. Let's try a slightly different situation. A boss says to an employee, "I wish you'd sleep with me". He receives no response and a week later he fires the employee. The two events may not be related, but I wouldn't bet that way.
