Mueller’s Conflict of Interest, Part 2

During Mueller’s leadership at the FBI, reports The Wall Street Journal’s Devlin Barrett, the political organization of Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, “an influential Democrat with longstanding ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton, gave nearly $500,000 to the election campaign of the wife of an official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation who later helped oversee the investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s email use…The Virginia Democratic Party, over which Mr. McAuliffe exerts considerable control, donated an additional $207,788 worth of support to Dr. McCabe’s campaign in the form of mailers, according to the records. That adds up to slightly more than $675,000…”

The information that has been ascertained provides a disturbing picture of the Clinton campaign utilizing highly partisan research of very dubious veracity from individuals colluding with Russia to prompt surveillance from officials of the Obama Administration, which itself had obtained a significant reputation of misusing federal agencies such as the IRS and the Justice Department for partisan purposes. Yet there is not yet even of hint from Mueller about examining those very important facts.

When a special counsel vigorously pursues one side of the political divide based on evidence that is highly speculative and derived from demonstrably biased sources, but rather pointedly ignores any and all evidence of a far more substantive nature on the other side, there is ample cause for concern.

There may be a very substantial reason for Mueller’s reluctance. When the FBI was doing its partisan best to affect the Presidential election, ignoring Hillary Clinton’s misdeeds in regards to email security but moving forward with the Trump investigation, Mueller was head of the FBI, remaining in that position until September 4, 2013. While much of the FBI/FISA application activity occurred afterwards, the investigations didn’t suddenly spring to life.  They were, doubtless, the end product of work begun while Mueller ran the FBI, just as much of time when the agency engaged in a partisan refusal to prosecute Hillary Clinton for her email and Uranium trade misdeeds.  A Harvard-CAPS poll reported by The Hill’s Jonathon Easley revealed that “A majority of polled voters say special counsel Robert Mueller has a conflict of interest because of his past ties to former FBI Director James Comey, according to the latest Harvard CAPS-Harris survey.When asked if Mueller has a conflict of interest “as the former head of the FBI and a friend of James Comey,” 54 percent responded that the “relationship” between the two amounts to a conflict of interest, including 70 percent of Republicans, 53 percent of independents and 40 percent of Democrats…the two have been described as “brothers in arms”…”

Some in the media have begun to pay attention to Mueller’s conflict of interest. Glenn Harlan Reynolds, in a USATODAY opinion column, stated that “Special Counsel Robert Mueller has a problem: He has a disqualifying conflict of interest regarding a large part of his work. It involves a choice between investigating or relying on former FBI director James Comey, a longtime close friend of Mueller’s. Ideally, he’ll recognize that and resign. But if he doesn’t resign, Attorney General Jeff Sessions should appoint another special counsel to take over the obstruction-of-justice part of the investigation, where Mueller is disqualified… Mueller is too close to Comey to be impartial, and that violates Justice Department conflict of interest rules.”

Mueller is not alone in being under a cloud of suspicion. A Rasmussen report  points out that “Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Jim Baker, Rod Rosenstein, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. These are just some of the names on the growing list of senior DOJ and FBI officials that, according to the House and Senate Intel Committees, may have illegally conspired to exonerate Hillary Clinton of any wrongdoing in her handling of classified information on a personal server while Secretary of State and to destroy President Trump.”

In a sign of desperation, Mueller, according to Jonathan Swan  in an Axios report, “is subpoenaing all communications — meaning emails, texts, handwritten notes, etc. — that a witness sent and received” from Carter Page, Corey Lewandowski, Donald J. Trump, Hope Hicks, Keith Schiller, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Roger Stone, and Steve Bannon, from November 1, 2015 to the present.  It’s a classic fishing expedition move by an investigator in search of a crime.

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) believes that a second special counsel is necessary to investigate the Department of Justice.

Mueller, indeed, should be on the receiving end of an investigation into political corruption.  Instead, he is running one.
