The Mueller probe continues to drag on, staffed by lawyers who have some sort of connection to the Democrat party. This seems to be problematic, and President Trump is calling them out. Pointing out the fact that through leaks they could possibly meddle in this year’s upcoming midterm elections.
According to Fox News:
President Trump warned Tuesday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the “13 Angry Democrats” on his team “will be MEDDLING” in the midterms by pursuing their Russia probe so close to the election.
The special counsel reportedly is expected to lie low going into the midterms if the probe has not wrapped up by that point, so as not to be seen as swaying voters.
But in a Tuesday morning tweetstorm, the president effectively argued that the probe is already threatening to interfere in the vote — and questioned again why the team is not investigating “totally Crooked Hillary Clinton” and Democrats.
“The 13 Angry Democrats (plus people who worked 8 years for Obama) working on the rigged Russia Witch Hunt, will be MEDDLING with the mid-term elections, especially now that Republicans (stay tough!) are taking the lead in Polls. There was no Collusion, except by the Democrats!” Trump tweeted early Tuesday, hitting the team with the same accusation leveled at the Russians in the 2016 race.

Why aren’t the 13 Angry and heavily conflicted Democrats investigating the totally Crooked Campaign of totally Crooked Hillary Clinton. It’s a Rigged Witch Hunt, that’s why! Ask them if they enjoyed her after election celebration!

This calls into question the impartiality of the Mueller team and the repercussions it might have on the midterms this year. Trump is right to call them out, but how will Mueller respond?
