Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump's personal lawyer on Sunday called for an investigation into special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, claiming it was tainted from the outset under former FBI director James Comey.

"We want the Mueller probe to be investigated the way the Trump administration has been investigated," Rudy Giuliani said on CNN's "State of the Union."

"This is a case where it's crying out for someone to investigate the investigators," he later told CBS.

Giuliani's comments were the latest in a barrage of attacks on the probe by the president and his lawyers as Mueller appears to be nearing a conclusion to his investigation into possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Moscow.

"WITCH HUNT! There was no Russian Collusion. Oh, I see, there was no Russian Collusion, so now they look for obstruction on the no Russian Collusion. The phony Russian Collusion was a made up Hoax," Trump tweeted on Sunday.

"Too bad they didn't look at Crooked Hillary like this. Double Standard!" he added, referring to his 2016 Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton.

The Washington Post reported Sunday that Mueller is pressing to wrap up his findings by the end of summer and, in the words of former Republican leader Newt Gingrich, Trump and his allies were "prepared for war."

Compare this environment to the time of the election that DJT won.

Then...2-3 major leaks out of White House per day with accompanying stories. Looked bleak.

Now... PDJT damages the seditious bastards 2-3 times per day and it continues to look worse for the bad guys daily.

Need moar winnamins please

If anyone understands the FBI/DOJ ability to destroy lives on the basis of vague, oblique charges, it’s Robert Mueller.

If this does not get his attention, he is stupid in addition to being corrupt and treasonous.

Why is this not front page news?

I agree that somebody should not have lifted to Breaking, but not front page?

It’s certainly more important than some of the drivel over there.

I disagree, and you need to get the terminology correct to proceed with any sense of Justice in this country.
The Appointment of Mueller was an "Overt Act in Furtherance of a Criminal Conspiracy to Overthrow the United States Government"
