President Trump told Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt in a Fox and Friends interview scheduled to air Friday that he is bothered by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s close relationship with fired FBI Director James Comey.
When asked of Mueller should recuse himself, Trump stated “Well he’s very, very good friends with Comey which is very bothersome… We’re going to have to see.”
As Radio Host Mark Levin pointed out last week:
John Legato is a former deep cover FBI special agent – and he writes that Comey and Mueller –their families have vacationed together, have had picnics together, hours spent at the office together, had a few cocktails after work. So Mueller can’t possibly be impartial here. Not when he’s very close friends with a key witness.
The point is this – he’s not independent
Hatchet Job
Trump also made mention of the four democrat-supporting attorneys Mueller has hired for the investigation.
“There’s been no collusion, no obstruction and virtually everybody agrees to that… So we’ll have to see. I can say that the people that’ve been hired [by Mueller] were all Hillary Clinton supporters.” -Donald Trump
Something Newt Gingrich tweeted about on June 12:
Republicans are delusional if they think the special counsel is going to be fair. Look who he is hiring.check fec reports. Time to rethink.
— Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) June 12, 2017
Michael Dreeben – donated to Obama and Clinton
Jeannie Rhee – deputy assist AG, Wilmer Hale, Donated to DNC, Obama, Clinton
James Quarles – asst. special prosecutor, Wilmer Hale, long history of Dem donations, Clinton
Andrew Weissman – oversees fraud at Justice. Donated six times to Obama PACs as well as DNC in 2006
Levin also noted “He’s [Mueller] not looking into any of the financial relationships between the Clinton Foundation and Russia. Any of the violations of the espionage act by Hillary Clinton and if the Russians got a hold of any of those emails. Mr. Comey nicely and neatly closed that investigation.”
No Investigation!
Trump Attorney Jon Sekulow has been making the rounds to defend the President, telling a testy Chris Wallace that James Comey himself said Trump was “not a target or subject of investigation.”
“There has been no notification from the special counsel’s office that the president is under investigation… I can’t imagine a scenario where the president would not be aware of it.”
Sekulow then went on Hannity yesterday to suggest that James Comey should be the one under investigation for leaking a classified memo created after a meeting with President Trump.
Trump’s interview with Fox and Friends airs on Friday.

It would not matter which party these hired lawyers support or belong to. Mueller and Comey are deep staters with one objective – get Trump and neuter his administration any which way. These people are so disconnected from the general population and voters it’s unbelievable.
