A week after news broke that special counsel Robert Mueller had handed down the first indictments in the investigation into the Trump campaign’s potential collusion with Russia, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has introduced a resolution calling for his recusal.

Gaetz, along with Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Andy Biggs of Arizona, cite Mueller’s involvement in the “Uranium One” controversy. He was serving as FBI director at the time.

“Evidence has emerged that the FBI withheld information from Congress and from the American people about Russian corruption of American uranium companies. A confidential U.S. witness, working in the Russian nuclear industry, revealed that Russia had deeply compromised an American uranium tracking firm through bribery and financial kickbacks […] These deeply troubling events took place when Mr. Mueller was the Director of the FBI. As such, his impartiality is hopelessly compromised. He must be shut down immediately,” Gaetz wrote in the statement.

1. Every congressperson who votes for this is guilty of obstruction of justice.

There aren't enough courts!

2. There are lots of sealed indictments.

Does Mueller have to be there for them to be unsealed? Can any prosecutor do it? Can they be set to unseal automatically in case Mueller is fired?

3. Well, now he is exposing Russian corruption. Screw your white wing resolution.

4. Who are the Democratic challengers to these Reps? Use this!

These craven Republicans need to be smeared with the obstruction of justice, collusion, and liar labels.

They need to be asked when they served (a la Kelly) and what gives them the right to question the credentials and ethics of a patriot such as Mueller.

Throw their crap (and their language) back in their face!

We need to go on the immediate attack.

5. Its all BS. Gohmert knows it. Based on tenuous could-bes
