Fox News faces backlash saying the US may be facing a 'coup' with Mueller investigation
By Olivia Beavers - 12/17/17 12:25 PM EST

Fox News is facing fierce backlash on social media after host Jesse Watters stepped up his rhetorical attacks against special counsel Robert Mueller, claiming that Mueller's decision to stock his investigative team with anti-Trump partisan agents could suggest a "coup" is underway in the U.S.

“We may now have proof the investigation was weaponized to destroy [Trump's] presidency for partisan political purposes and to disenfranchise millions of American voters,” Watters said Saturday night on "Watters' World."

“Now if that is true, we have a coup on our hands in America,” he added.

Evan McMuffin and Walter Schaub are a backlash? They're Leftist hacks.

All this tells me is that Watters is hitting his target dead on.

Waters hitting a raw nerve? Good.  Between Tucker, Judge Pirro, and Water, they are at least putting out the facts.

No shit.  One point about that slub Schaub.  The guy was like Milton Waddams.... except Wally hid in the basement for a reason.  He was hiding from Trump.

Yup. Ever since they put in the fishnet stockings, skimpy skirt, red lipstick and followed Trump into the back alley behind a dumpster.

My last day watching FOX news was the day Trump told FOX and friends about Rafael Cruz being involved in the JFK assassination and those morons sat there and nodded with concerned looks on their faces.

It was one of the most astounding claims ever made by a candidate and those morons at FOX couldn't be bothered to do any of that icky journalistic crap because they knew further investigation would require them to call Trump a liar.

The breathless delivery gets tiresome but if you can get past that Fox is delivering information no other network is - and by all accounts the information is vetted. Certainly much more so than the other major news networks.

I'm not sure why that would irritate some.

What exactly would you call it when the FBI & DOJ start a coordinated effort to overthrow a properly elected President on bogus charges?

We know Meuller picked all Trump haters for his investigation.  We know senior FBI people had plans to prevent Trump from being elected and then created plans to skew the investigation.

We've got messages between key players that clearly spell out what all of the dossier stuff was intended to do - an 'insurance policy' against Trump's winning.

@Oceander @CatherineofAragon @Cripplecreek @txradioguy @Victoria33

How does it feel to be some of the most uninformed posters on the net?

Why don't you point out where Fox is reporting things that flat out are not true?

What would you call an attempt by senior officials at DOJ and the FBI aided by a
willing media to overthrow a duelly elected President? Ya'll are so blinded by your
hate of Trump that you are unable to see what is right in front of you. Once the
Inspector General releases his report on the FBI and DOJ you are going to look
even more foolish then you did on election day.

That falls on the current administration for not firing people day one and replacing them with non Obama/Hillary people.

And who approved the pick as Mueller for the investigation?


And obviously Trump didn't think Mueller was so bad just a few months ago.

Trump considered Mueller for FBI director before he was named special counsel: report

The dossier that was created using DNC & Clinton funds with participation by the DOJ, FBI & White House.  Created with fake information provided by Russian agents.

The dossier that was used by the FBI to get a FISA warrant on Trump during the election despite the FBI knowing it was fake.

No, that isn't a coup,  please move along, nothing to see.
