Texas Republican Rep. Brian Babin is asking for congressmen to sign onto a letter requesting that special counsel Robert Mueller appear publicly in a congressional hearing, The Daily Caller has learned.
Mueller, who is investigating Russian election interference and possible ties between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign, has come under intense criticism from allies of President Donald Trump for hiring attorneys who have donated to Democratic candidates and for his personal relationship with former FBI Director James Comey. Trump himself has called Mueller’s employment of Democratic donors “ridiculous,” yet he maintains that he has no plans to dismiss the special counsel.
Babin’s letter, which was obtained by TheDC, was sent out to congressmen Thursday and asks for members to cosign a letter he plans to send to House Judiciary chairman Bob Goodlatte and Senate Judiciary chairman Chuck Grassley.
“Every nominee for United States Attorney must be confirmed by the Senate, a process that brings to the forefront any concerns regarding the nominee’s ability to hold their position in a decent and impartial manner. However, as Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III and his team of lawyers investigate our very own president, we as a nation wait in the dark with very little information about those given this great authority,” Babin wrote in the letter to his fellow representatives.

It was a huge mistake giving him unlimited directions he can go in the investigation. With the cost of all the staff, he will have to indite several folks and they will not be democrates.
I think anyone working for the government should have to sign a statement giving up their right to “Claim the 5th” in explaining any action they took and why it was taken in the performance of their job.
“NO EXCEPTIONS”.
Too many special counsels investigating only one side of the aisle. Time to remove them, get a report and open up new special counsels looking into problems we know exist. ty Toledo Sgt
Mueller is the fox guarding the hen house. Now is the time to remove him, then Rosenstein for selecting a Democratic loyalist to do this investigation, and then go across the street to the FBI and hand McCabe his walking papers. Get away from this Russia hoax and get on with the business of MAGA!
Absolutely so. You nailed it!
You are so right. This has gone on just way too long. And we are paying the salaries of all these attorneys. Sorry but my salary is used up for the essentials.
skm: Good reply …that would work good. Clean the henhouse, get rid of the Fox
Isn’t there some blatant “conflict of interest” as defined in the statutes since there was a close and working relationship between Mueller and Comey. Also, has everyone forgotten the huge scandal which Mueller and Comey headed looking for the source of anthrax and never finding it?
There should be another one or two “special counsels” appointed to look into the DNC and the Russian paid for and generated “dossier” as well as the DNC collusion with Ukraine, and the Clintons with collusion with doubling speaking fees in Russia, 1/5 of our uranium, those who made money on that uranium in Russia kicking back $145 million for the Clinton Foundation.
Just make sure the Special counsels don’t consist of all Democrats. They would NEVER prosecute H. Clinton nor B. Clinton. They would do just as Mueller is doing hunting and hunting until they can find someone who will lie and say they are all innocent, such as James Comey. The Clintons, Obama, Lynch, Holder, S. Rice and hundreds of Democrat State workers, FBI, TSA,etc, etc. are literally drowning in Obama’s illegal orders and decrees and fraud…President Trump has mountains to move to get this mess he inherited cleaned up.
There is no way this group of democratic thugs can be unbiased and fair. The whole investigation is a continuation of the slander campaign started by the democrats during the election. If they desire to prosecute someone regarding the dealings with the kremlin, they should be investigating Hillary selling 25% of our Uranium to the Russians. It should be easier for them to investigate something that actually happened rather than chase somethuiing that didn’t.
I think the majority of the council being democrat is a real problem. It seems as if Mueller and company are going to get somebody for something if they are guilty or not. If Comey had put this much effort in the Clinton investigation she would have been executed by now. I hope congress does grill Mueller and makes sure this investigation is on the up and Up. He needs to look into the DNC leak to find the source of this made up Russian narrative
This is suppose to be an independent investigation but everyone involved have strong ties to the democrat party. They are clearly biased and determined to justify their existence. How long can we expect them to keep searching for things that don’t exist? Are we to give them enough time to construct a mountain out of an insignificant mole hill? Are they going to continue to ignore all the democrat connections to Russia. There should definitely be a review by Congress!
