    Anyone who has a conflict of interest should recuse themselves, just like the AG did. If they don't do so voluntarily, then they should be called out on it.

    That said, once Mueller expanded this beyond investigating the 2016 election, it became clear to me that he had turned his investigation of the 2016 election into an opposition research operation for the democrats in 2020.

    Wouldn't it be ironic if Mueller met with some Russians and turned up some tasty dirt on Trump, that the democrats then used against him in 2020? In essence doing exactly what they are accusing Junior of having done.

    This is just a gaggle of democrat operatives gathering opposition research to use against Trump in 2020. That is all this is about.

    If you oppose Russian meddling, you would support this investigation. You now claim you oppose their meddling on the same board where you piss and moan about them investigating it. Make up your ****ing mind so you don't look so absurd with every post you make.

    They ought to be investigating why Preet Bharara was dismissed and then the Prevezon laundering suit was settled for 2.5% of the total amount of laundered moneys days before a trial was set to begin.

    What could have come out in this trial? And then you have a Russian meeting with Jr. in 2016, who just so happens to have direct ties to Prevezon.

    THIS is the real conspiracy. This is where it starts and ends.

    Follow the money. It leads directly to Russian kleptocrats.

    Guess you didn't notice that something is already being done and it is scaring the piss out of Trump.

    I have no issue with the idea of an investigation on the topic. i have an issue with an open ended witch hunt staffed with a DNC dream team.

    Trump himself was angry that Sessions recused himself. Clearly anyone with conflicts of interest ought not recuse themselves for fear of twitter outrage from the POSOTUS.

    The entirely obvious reasons...possible conflict of interest.

    No, please refrain from tossing out pointless errands. None of this fluff you just posted would change the above. The President of the US deserves the same accords that would be offered to any citizen.

    Trump would be proud of you. You've turned into a good parrot. "Witch hunt!". I love it.

    It isn't a witch hunt to investigate Russian interference in US elections. Do any of you Trump lovers have even the slightest clue what this investigation is about? The answer is "no". My teenagers know more than you all do.

    Well no. If Trump has significant business ties to Russia that would explain his rather bizarre Putin butt kissing as well as why Russia clearly attempted to influence the election. Not to mention demonstrating one more Trump lie. There is obviously a reason Trump is so scared of the investigation and we will eventually find out the basis for that fear.

    And of course the findings of the Trump witch hunt will probably be that someone investigating for Mueller or even Mueller himself donated to a Drmocratic candidate which will supposedly make them too biased to do the job. Then of course the response should be that Trump donated to Democrats and even Hillary in the past so he is clearly too biased to be President.

    Yes and the result of that recussal was Comey "leaking" a memo to get Mueller as SC to begin with. As this "investigation" gets wider and wider and seem never ending we have an AG in name only

    Maybe so but he has the right to defend his presidency. Look at presidential history and every president that was in a tight spot fought, why shouldn't he?

    What is the conflict of interest? They are investigating Russian interference in our elections. Something CIA Director Mike Pompeo said yesterday went on for years and years.

    Do any of you have any idea what is going on? You think this is about Trump. I realize he controls all of your minds, but this isn't about him. Educate yourself, for ****s sake.

    More insults.. More nonsense. You cant reply to my posts so we keep getting crap like the above. I like how you went from the 2016 election to "elections" did you not think i would notice that? How far back do you think this 2016 Election investigation should go back? What limits should it have?

    The hypocrisy is the investigation of Trump at the taxpayer's expense, due to political witchhunt without as much as a shred of evidence of any criminal wrongdoing and resorting to fishing once no dirt is found.

    Regardless, Trump has every right to investigate them at his expense, this IS NOT preventing them from doing their jobs whatsoever and if they're squeaky clean, have no biases and no conflicts of interests, they should have absolutely nothing to worry about.

    You aren't really serious here are you? Do you not see a possible conflict of interest? You who keeps tossing out buzzphrases like "critical thinking" cannot see it? Don't toss it out again as it's obviously a stranger to you.

    LOL...educate myself?
    Serve on any local Jury sometime and see what people get dumped for. The goal is totally impartial. The President cannot guarantee that with Hillary and DNC donors looking into it.
    Never mind Mueller and his BFF Comey lol...

    Critical Thinking. What a hoot.

    The investigation is about Russian meddling. It isn't about Trump. Do you not know what Mueller is investigating - seriously??

    I haven't shown any hypocrisy. WTF?

    And this is exactly what i am talking about, even your baseless insinuations, hyperboles and speculations don't amount to even a shred of evidence of any criminal activity.

    Educate yourself on what's being investigated. You don't even know what it is. It's about Russian meddling. This isn't a jury trial and it isn't about Trump. Good lord. The ignorance is astounding.

    I can't believe I'm sitting here educating adults on what is being investigated. Even my teenagers know.

    so instead of cooperating with the investigation, look for ways to circumvent it.

    now rwers prefer instead of the truth. another note to bring up, next rwers thump their chest about patriotisn, the constitution, let alone the law

    Mueller's team is the Who's who of liberal activism.

    Investigation into Russia's medding wouldn't need Trump business deals fishing expedition. Duh

    Investigating Trump without a shred of evidence at taxpayer's expense and fishing expedition is OK, but checking investigators for biases and conflicts of interests on Trump's own dime isn't? Forcing Sessions to recuse himself is fine, expecting the same from witch hunters isn't? If this is not hypocrisy, nothing is, dear.

    If it wasnt about Trump we would not have 10 threads daily about some opinion or leak from the investigation claiming they had a smoking gun about.... Trump.. How naive do you think people are to believe what you just posted?

    Guess you never bothered to actually read the reason for the investigation. Maybe you should make the effort. Believe even you can find it on the internet.
