No FBI Witch Hunt

Submitted by ub on

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation is not a witch hunt. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the Justice Department official who hired special counsel Robert Mueller, vigorously defended Mueller’s work this week during a contentious hearing on Capitol Hill. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/rosenstein-likel…

Under fire from Republican lawmakers, Rosenstein said that Mueller has not exceeded his authority and has done nothing to warrant his dismissal. Trump DOJ leaders won't join GOP in Mueller criticism http://politi.co/2BkYi75
