How Fox Is Undermining the Mueller Investigation

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/12/how-fox-is-undermining-the-mueller-investigation.html

It was on Hannity that Fox’s Greg Jarrett infamously compared Mueller’s investigation to the operations of the KGB. Last night, Hannity brought on former White House aide Sebastian Gorka to argue that Trump could and should fire Mueller and perhaps would, if it weren’t for the GOP’s dubious commitment to him.



Gorka: Let me remind your audience and let me remind the DNC, the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, according to the U.S. Constitution, is not the director of the FBI, nor is it the attorney general. The chief law enforcement officer is the president, and right now, that’s Donald J. Trump. He could fire Mueller legally tomorrow, if he so wished, but he would have to be backed up by the Republican Party. We need to see leadership from Capitol Hill that understands –

Hannity: Why doesn’t Jeff Sessions do that?

Gorka: I think Jeff Sessions is in a very difficult place right now with his very, very ill-advised decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. He can reassert his power as the attorney general, but we also have to see a broader support from Congress for the president, his agenda, and what November the 8th really means to America.

We can expect to hear more from Fox about that electoral mandate and the hidden conspiracy that necessitated Mueller’s firing should Trump ultimately pull the plug on the investigation.

These numbskulls are 100 percent set on having a dictator. As if their lives depended on it.

Can go fuck himself....”Do tell how much you know about America?? Do tell what you know about sacrifice you Nazi shit stain...”. Some folks, myself included have actually seen Americans bleed and die for what they thought was right. So spare me your blathering....that shit is meaningless and a weak assed attempt to cover for your thin skinned, narcissistic, boss!
