If anyone still believes that former FBI Director Robert Mueller can conduct a fair and unbiased investigation into the Russian “collusion” charges against Trump campaign officials, they are living in an alternate reality.  From the time he formed his team, which included numerous active supporters of the Democratic Party in general, and Hillary Clinton in particular, it was obvious that this was not going to be fair and unbiased.

While we cannot expect FBI Special Agents and lawyers to live in a bubble, totally devoid of political leanings and opinions, we can demand that they put those feelings aside when conducting investigations or recuse themselves from such an issue.  It is becoming brutally evident that this has not been the case in Mueller’s Special Council proceedings.  Because of his position as FBI Director during portions of Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, when the private server issue and Uranium One deal were exposed, as well as his close relationship and mentoring of James Comey, who succeeded him in the FBI Director post, Mueller should have refused to accept the post as Special Council because of the obvious conflicts of interest.  He did not.

So, If he refuses to step down, Attorney General Jeff Sessions should remove him from office.  This is no longer a reasonable investigation.  It is a politically motivated witch hunt. If we as a nation cannot trust our Department of Justice to be fair and impartial we are headed down a road which ends in a very bad place.  A place where we don’t have Constitutional protections, and are guilty until proven innocent.  Where political expediency is more important than the truth.  It has happened before, in the not too distant past.    If it is not stamped out, one of our most respected law enforcement agencies will be irrefutably damaged, possibly beyond repair.
