President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani is calling for a "full and complete" investigation into the origins of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Giuliani, speaking on "Face the Nation" on Sunday, claimed that "troubling, unethical behaviors" among some in the Justice Department had tainted the Mueller probe, which began as an FBI counterintelligence investigation. The department's inspector general released a report this week into the handling of Hillary Clinton's email scandal, revealing that FBI agent Peter Strzok, who oversaw the Clinton investigation and was later removed from the Mueller probe, had suggested in text messages that the FBI would "stop" a Trump presidency two months before the 2016 election.
"How much did he infect that probe with his own very, very extreme positions? I don't know, but I want to find out before I go forward," Giuliani said when pressed about Strzok's influence on the investigation.
The inspector general found no evidence to suggest that political bias influenced the FBI's actions with respect to the Clinton probe. But Giuliani said he wants another investigation into the bureau's Russia investigation, which was eventually taken over by Mueller when he was named special counsel.

President Trump, PLEASE FIRE Sessions, Wray and RosenRat. PRONTO!!!
Get Rob Kallstrom, DiGenova, or Tom Fitton in there!!!
Mueller is still going on? Rudy said he’d have it wrapped up in a week or two.
So now we are going to have an investigation of the investigation.
I watched a free on demand movie last night. Sorry but Tom Cruise is the star in it BUT American Made is a TRUE story and shows how deep corruption can go. Bonus the CIA had this criminal work out of MENA OK when $lick was governor. (Give a good idea why Hillary walks among us).
yeah that’s what we need, a probe into a probe. And then we can probe that probe and go full meta.
Mena, Arkansas Ken...
If only our AG had an ounce of Rudy’s courage and loyalty to the President!
Sessions the Cuckold is still asleep at the wheel
I agree with Rudy Giuliani 100%. Bob Mueller is dirty from head to toe. His head is so far up the Obama & Clintons rear ends...he should be spending & resting the remainder of his time on God’s earth in prison. How anyone that is sane could respect & support, and listen to anything this low life example of a functioning human being says, is without merit or understanding, Broom Robert Mueller and his Democrat dregs like today, right now!!!
I stand corrected. Mena, AR. Tough morning here lol
“:^)
I thought I should mention it. No problem...
Yeah, Rudy is past his expiration date.
He’s right, but it will go nowhere.
Know what’s sad? What he said was right and we’ve been wanting that for many months.
Mark Levin rudely yells at people who say that and says “Don’t talk nonsense like that—no one will ever investigate the investigators. Never happen.”
But whatever Rudi says is laughed off and ignored as that oddball Rudi spouting off, maybe drunk on the air again. Not exactly the gravitas of Kissinger.
Can anyone tell me just who in government can appoint a special prosecutor?
Can President Trump appoint one?
Yes. Presidents can and have appointed special counsels on their own authority. At one time, Congress authorized itself to appoint a special counsel and could do so again.
