Mueller must go

Robert Mueller, the special counsel examining Russiaâs meddling in the 2016 election, is part of a conspiracy, writes Henry James of Fresno.

We are now in Act Three of a leftist conspiracy to invent a conspiracy to justify its own conspiracy.

In Act One, the Bill and Hillary Clinton created the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory and used a British former intelligence agent with connections to Russia and the FBI to inject the dossier into the FBI.

In Act Two, Obama administration officials used the dossier to justify their eavesdropping on Trump officials.

In Act Three, Team Mueller is using that illegal eavesdropping to entrap and generate crimes against assorted Trump officials.

That is not just a conspiracy theory. It is a radical leftist conspiracy against America.

Robert S. Mueller III had every opportunity to make his case. He could have run a fair and transparent investigation. Instead he’s become the public face of a partisan witch hunt in which a confederacy of Hillary supporters and judges dispense with everything from attorney-client privilege to the U.S. Attorneys’ manual so that they can offer fresh heads to the baying D.C. mob reading the Washington Post.

Enough.

Mr. Mueller must go. A real investigation must be conducted of the Obama administration for eavesdropping/’unmasking.” Both the Department of Justice and the FBI require urgent housecleaning.

If we don’t drain the swamp, the swamp will drown us.
