Mueller Investigation Into Trump, and Possible Conflict of Interest

President Donald Trump says he believes Mueller is guilty of a massive list of conflicts of interest so he should not be investigating Trump.  Since Mueller and his team members are all Democrats and were contributors to the campaign of Hillary Clinton, you are darn tootin' there is a conflict of interest!

If the person being investigated was a Democrat, would the party of the donkey have allowed a special prosecutor with ties to the last Republican nomination for President and a bunch of GOP members who donated to that candidate be the team to investigate the Democrat in question?

Could you imagine the outcry if Hillary Clinton had won last November and then the Republicans put together a team of right-wingers to investigate her and threaten her presidency with what they might find?

However, Trump is in the White House, so the Democrat controlled media claims Trump's concern about conflicts of interest means he is seeking to control and block Mueller’s Russia investigation.

What a load of poppycock.

The Democrats are using Mueller in the hopes of impeaching Trump.  They are using the threat of taking this to the federal courts to go after the executive branch.

So much for a separation of powers.

Here's the thing.  If Mueller is acting as a part of the Department of Justice, guess who his boss actually is?  It's not the Democrats.

While the Democrats would scream obstruction of justice, again, the reality is that Trump is the boss over all these people as head of the executive branch.  If he wanted to fire Mueller, he could.

This whole investigation is a distraction seeking a crime, and so far what we have found out is that the crime was fabricated.  It's a farce.  It's a witch hunt.

Can't we just stop all of this nonsense and allow the President to do what he was voted into office to do?
