All eyes are on Robert Mueller as he conducts his special investigation into Russian “interference” in the 2016 election. Democrats would love for him to produce evidence discrediting Trump. And Mueller is looking more and more like a compromised Leftist agent.

Even the dimwits in Congress are starting to voice concerns. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), is calling for Congress to act as a watchdog for the Special Counsel (via FOX News) If Mueller’s going to look into the president, he has to be kept in line.

Chaffetz is the former chair of the House Oversight Committee (a position now held by Trey Gowdy). According to Chaffetz, Mueller’s assignment doesn’t give him unlimited authority. He has to act within limits and must be carefully scrutinized by Congress.

“Just because you are a Special Counsel doesn’t mean you go unimpeded. There needs to be someone looking over the shoulder of the special prosecutor as well.” That’s absolutely right, especially with THIS Special Counsel.

Robert Mueller is good friends with James Comey. There’s a strong suspicion that James Comey leaked documents to the media to provoke a Special Counsel; a Special Counsel he knew would be his best pal. This is all as an act of revenge against President Trump.

Then there’s also the fact that the people Mueller has appointed to his Special Counsel team are die-hard Hillary Clinton supporters. How can Trump be treated fairly when the investigating body hates his guts?

Chaffetz brings up these points, arguing that there should never have been a Special Counsel. After all, we all know the Trump-Russia claims are bogus. Why waste time and money on a huge ball of nothing?
Additionally, there’s the charge that Trump was involved in obstruction of justice. That’s what Comey would have us believe. But how can justice be obstructed when nothing illegal was done to investigate in the first place?

The entire fiasco is a witch hunt designed to tarnish President Trump’s reputation. Chaffetz acknowledges this, which is why he calls the special counsel unnecessary. Now that it’s underway, he says, Congress must stay on top of Mueller to be sure he isn’t using his new role to execute a personal vendetta against President Trump.

Chaffetz also says Congress would be more efficient at combating the Deep State if they could have an expedition of subpoenas. Right now these have to come from the Department of Justice itself. That makes it harder to subpoena members of the DoJ or other federal agencies. For instance, the Obama DoJ protected IRS officials involved in targeting conservative organizations.

Congress better keep a close eye on Mueller. The American people are behind President Trump. We won’t put up with any action taken against him by these disingenuous Deep State actors.
