So Mueller pulled him from case illegally? BTW...I think its cute when a liberal speaks of violating laws...lol
This whole Congressional farce is a backdoor attempt to obstruct Mueller's investigation. It's not going to work.

And he can't fire Strozk for his political views either without violating the statute I mentioned.

"If he wanted to, wrote Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard Law School professor and co-founder of Lawfare, Trump could then fire Rosenstein. In that case, the authority over Mueller would fall to the associate attorney general. In theory — and ignoring the political consequences of doing so — Trump could keep firing people until he got someone to follow through on an order to fire Mueller.
“That means it could go down the line until an assistant attorney general did not resign and instead carried out the President’s order,” Goldsmith wrote."

Obama changed the democrat party to fascist with the weaponizing of govt agencies to maintain democrat control. The latest discovery, the FBI and dept of Justice.
Seriously, you teabaggers need to learn not to use words you don't really understand.

The entire Meuller investigation is a ruse, created by illegal actions by a corrupt FBI.

Originally posted by @no1marauderhave you not noticed every time the intel comm investigation comes out with something (text messages) the Meuller investigation comes out with breaking news? They are playing you for a fool and you are eating it up.
And Bannon's going to be questioned soon by Mueller's team about lots and lots of "interesting" things. https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/24/politics/robert-mueller-steve-bannon-questioning/index.html
