Freshman GOP rep calls for Mueller recusal from Russia probe
The Hill ^ | June 23, 2017 | Julia Manchester

Posted on 06/23/2017 7:00:03 PM PDT by HarleyLady27

A member of the House Freedom Caucus on Friday called on the Justice Department's special counsel, Robert Mueller, to recuse himself in the federal probe into Russian election meddling.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Az) said the "integrity of his appointment" was in question due to Mueller's friendship with ousted FBI Director James Comey.

"His ability to be impartial is doubtful because he has surrounded himself with highly partisan lawyers who make a special practice to line the coffers of Democrats," the freshman Republican lawmaker said in a statement, referencing attorneys Mueller has hired who have Democratic political leanings.

Before too long we’re gonna need Cordell Walker and James Trevett to straighten this bunch out.

That is what this author is trying to show, it isn’t working in my opinion, but they will use every word they can use to cause doubt...

Mueller will never recuse. Never. Why would he when the Speaker of the House and Senate majority leader stand up for him?

What we need is for the media to shut up, or have the FCC pull some licenses...and the Dems to wise up, which I think they are so far gone now there isn’t a Dem Party...

And we need to keep putting information out that takes them down...

Your point isn’t clear, but if you mean it won’t be easy to take Trump out, I agree. My point was that it’s too late for the absence of Mueller to matter. He’s already hired over a dozen hatchet men and they know their job. And there isn’t a scruple to be found in the whole gang.

Does Trump realize this is coup by Mueller and Comey and the democrats? Mueller hired an army of Hillary Clinton lawyers and donors to obama to stab Trump. Fire Mueller and all these Clinton lawyers NOW!

I understood what you meant, and no it isn’t going to be easy to take President Trump out, you haven’t seen him fight yet...

While living in PA. for 17 years, I got to see what Our President can do, right now he is playing ‘kitty paw’ with them, but he doesn’t have the staff of personal attorneys on board that he has for show...

The other side won’t know what hit them...

Bravo Rep. Andy Biggs.
I live in another republican district in Arizona. Earlier this week, I contacted by Rep representative to urge Mueller’s replacement. So far, no response.

Good to see someone willing to say “the Emperor has no clothes.”

Keep pounding the Republicans about their cowardice and fear of the media, let them know we will have their backs when they act with wisdom.

Absolutely correct...The left STILL hasn’t realized that President Trump is NOT a “professional politician”...

He doesn’t think or act along the lines that the DC politicians do...

The Democratmedia is not having any success with this fraud, so let them keep it up. People are disgusted with this Witch Hunt. Nothing to worry about.

This is what is confusing the left, the media and Deep State...any other person would have folded by now, they don't know why he hasn't, and they know better than to dig up lies about him like Gloria Allred and Hillary did during the election, his personal attorneys would have a field day on that...

He doesn't speak their language, he speaks American Voter language, he doesn't act like them, he acts like a World Known Business man and that is so confusing for them...

Love it!!!

Michelle Bachman would be proud of this Freedom Caucus rep.

If the Black Caucus will not allow DJT near their office, perhaps the Freedom Caucus will open their doors to welcome him.

BTW, exactly who is the Freedom Caucus these days?

My hope is that the Trump Administration has the balls to decimate the communists in Congress, the “press”, the Federal “judiciary”, Academia, and the Federal bureaucracy.

This includes stomping out voting by illegals and felons and disenfranchising as many welfare recipients and morons as possible.

All of these degenerate corrupt institutions are heavily invested in importing MILLIONS of ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINAL MEXICANS AND MOZLUMS in an attempt to DESTROY the USA and steal everything not nailed down.

WASHINGTONIANS RAUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
