If those are the only choices then I choose for him the 2nd. It is unfortunate, he should have recused himself. He is conflicted in the “Russia” investigation as either a conspirator to perjury (or worse) or a material witness to perjury (at best) since he was involved in the wiretap warrant requests against the Trump campaign.
Maybe, if enough federal judges are willing to kick these cases back (or just dismiss them) - as three judges seem to be putting up resistance to the cases brought against Flynn and Manafort, it will start to turn the tables around.
No investigation is fair or complete if it only focuses on one candidate - especially when another candidate has piles of evidence against her, and publicly claimed Russia is behind the hacking of their party’s computers. Just that claim alone warrants a thorough investigation to make sure there was no mole or inside job (even if we all “know” there was no hack, they claim there was and this means it has to be investigated). Mueller’s focus only on Trump betrays his biases.
