Republicans just introduced a resolution to remove Mueller from the Trump-Russia investigation

A group of conservative Republican lawmakers introduced a resolution on Friday calling for Robert Mueller to recuse himself as the special counsel investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 US election.

Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida, Andy Biggs of Arizona, and Louie Gohmert of Texas say Mueller should step down because he was the FBI director in 2010, when US agencies approved a deal for a Russian nuclear-energy firm to buy Uranium One, a Canadian energy company. The deal required approval because Uranium One had significant uranium operations in the US.

Gaetz says that despite evidence of corruption, Mueller's FBI did not bring any charges related the deal and that he therefore should recuse himself from the current investigation, which has expanded to include whether President Donald Trump's campaign team colluded with Moscow to influence the outcome of the election.

Considering he is the only special prosecutor in the history of the United States to ever be appointed without a direct mandate to investigate a specific crime....yes he needs to be removed. Otherwise he can just conduct a life long witch hunt.

Anyone with an ounce of objectivity can look at the members of the investigative party and agree that it is overwhelmingly prejudiced.

Gaetz is clearly evident of corruption in making such a claim.

Open an investigation of him, Biggs, and Gohmert's qualifications to remain as Representatives.

If they believe this will stop the investigation, they're as stupid as trump.
