Trump lawyer Sekulow calls for new special counsel to probe DOJ’s dossier dilemma
He is absolutely correct. The investigators are coming off worse every day with new revelations of bias and dirty tricks.
Quote:A top member of President Trump’s outside legal team called Tuesday for the appointment of a separate special prosecutor to look into potential conflicts of interest involving Justice Department and FBI officials.
Jay Sekulow made the call following a Fox News report revealing that the wife of a DOJ official demoted for concealing his meetings with the firm behind the anti-Trump “dossier” herself worked for the same firm, Fusion GPS, during the 2016 election.
Sekulow told Fox News that a special prosecutor should be appointed to look into these issues.
"The Department of Justice and FBI cannot ignore the multiple problems that have been created by these obvious conflicts of interests. These new revelations require the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate,” Sekulow also told Axios.
Trump’s team is not at this point making any formal petition seeking a special prosecutor, but is making its views known. Sekulow stressed that this call is not connected to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia meddling investigation or Trump’s confidence in Mueller.
“I was asked about it, and let my feelings be known,” Sekulow told Fox News on Tuesday.

The smell of fear and desperation is lovely. For a guy who talks about law and order, he sure seems to hate law and order. Thinks he's slick and can purge those who hate him. LOL. Wouldn't leave many people left to work.

He's laying the PR groundwork... not the legal groundwork.
Everything about Mueller's investigation is illegitimate, and it could/should be shutdown at any time. The only reason Trump is allowing this circus to continue is because he knows he has nothing to hide, and that if he were to fire Mueller, idiotic liberals like yourself would be screaming for impeachment.
Process crimes against former low-level administration officials. That's all they have.

Lying draft dodger vs military veteran. The Republicans have clearly made their choice. It's like they want to go out of their way to prove they are indeed deplorable.

Ha! You could just have easily have wrote the following in the early 90s...
"Lying draft dodger (Bill Clinton) vs military veteran (George H.W. Bush). The Democrats have clearly made their choice. It's like they want to go out of their way to prove they are indeed deplorable...

Wow. Did you really just call him that?
Tom thinks Obumble to be the greatest president ever and he defended him at every turn, always. I guess if Obumble is a hero to Tom, he probably worships Mueller in a similar fashion.................but Tom's not a lefty, just ask him.
