House GOPers Ask Rosenstein For List Of People Working For Mueller


By Nicole Lafond | June 26, 2018 8:17 am

Nine House Republicans have asked deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to deliver them with a list of everyone who has worked on special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into the Trump campaign and Russian meddling in the election, Fox News reported.

According to a copy of the letter obtained by Fox News and the Washington Times, the lawmakers said they were “disturbed” by reports of the appointment of investigators — like agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page — who were found to have exchanged anti-Trump text messages.

“We know that these biases were shared among multiple people at the FBI and could be easily uncovered by Mr. Mueller with simple vetting,” the letter says, according to Fox. “These individuals should not have been given an opportunity to influence – directly or indirectly – this special counsel investigation.”

The letter is signed by some of the most vocal Trump allies in the House: Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Andy Harris (R-MD), Jody Hice (R-GA), Scott Perry (R-PA) and Ralph Norman (R-SC).

I thought they exhausted this week's supply of death threats for the owner and employees of the Red Hen restaurant.
