Got Conflict of Interest?

 

Recuse yourself!

Don’t senators running for POTUS have a conflict of interest regarding possible impeachment of an opponent?

Shouldn’t they recuse themselves if it came to the Senate?

Wouldn’t anyone so positioned against a defendant be barred from serving as a judge or jury in a court of law?

Texts between ex-Mueller team members emerge, calling Trump 'loathsome human,' 'an idiot'

Text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page in 2016 that were obtained by Fox News on Tuesday refer to then-candidate Donald Trump as a "loathsome human" and "an idiot."

More than 10,000 texts between Strzok and Page were being reviewed by the Justice Department after Strzok was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe after it was revealed that some of them contained anti-Trump content.

The messages were sent during the 2016 campaign and contain discussions about various candidates. On March 2, Strzok texted Page that someone "asked me who I’d vote for, guessed [Ohio Gov. John] Kasich."

"Seriously?! Would you not [vote] D[emocrat]?" Page responded.

"I don’t know," Strzok answered. "I suppose Hillary [Clinton]."

"I would [vote] D," Page affirmed.

Two days later, Page texted Strzok, "God, Trump is a loathsome human."

"Yet he many[sic] win," Strzok responded. "Good for Hillary."

Later the same day, Strzok texted Page, "Omg [Trump's] an idiot."

"He's awful," Page answered.

"America will get what the voting public deserves," said Strzok, to which Page responded. "That’s what I’m afraid of."

Later that same day, Strzok texted Page, "Ok I may vote for Trump."

"What?" answered Page. "Poor Kasich. He’s the only sensible man up there."

Wall Street Journal to Robert Mueller: Resign. You Are Hopelessly Conflicted in This Investigation.

Mueller's old FBI is up to its gills in Uranium One and his prodigy and pal Comey basically engineered this entire special counsel situation to get back at a man who fired him.

Mueller is not impartial, and it's a great help to have a respected, more establishment voice like the WSJ editorial board say the obvious.

OBAMA DONOR TO HEAD IRS TEA PARTY TARGETING INVESTIGATION

Via Breitbart

Rep. Issa noted that current and former IRS officials revealed Barbara Bosserman, a trial attorney within the IRS's Civil Rights Commission, is leading the internal investigation.

Bosserman's leadership raises all sorts of questions about the investigation's fairness. Rep. Issa's investigations revealed that she has been a loyal financial backer of the DNC since 2004 and has donated multiple times personally to President Obama's two campaigns. Her personal donation total reaches $6,750 to both the party and President Obama.

So what are members of Congress going to do about it?
