House Judiciary Member: Mueller Legally Required To Resign Over ‘Conflict Of Interest’

Posted By Peter Hasson On 6:47 AM 08/01/2017 In | No Comments

Republican Arizona Rep. Trent Franks says that Robert Mueller is in “clear violation” of federal law prohibiting a special counsel from having a conflict of interest and therefore must immediately resign as special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation.

Mueller’s reported friendship with former FBI director James Comey presents a clear conflict of interest, according to Franks, who is a senior member on the House Judiciary Committee. Federal law defines a conflict of interest as: “a personal relationship with any person substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution.”

Absolutely he should resign the conflict of interest is glaring. Muellers' best bud Comey is central to the investigation and Comey committed felonies in leaking classified information.
