All news is these days is opinion! They don't even bother to act like they are reporting the news without bias anymore. None of them. FOX, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, WaPo, NYT, LATimes....none. They are all opinion sections of newspapers.

Hmm, weird that USA Today, a MSM outlet published this.
This board has a terrible misunderstanding of OpEds and opinion sections of news outlets.

Have any of you even taken a high school level Poli Sci class?
Although I agree with the writers opinion, this definitely an Op-Ed piece from a guy whose most Googled article is entitled "Why America needs a white male Republican president! Once again, I happen to agree with him, but don't for a second mistake this as the left and MSM waiving a white flag!

To establish this attack as being of consequence, we need some evidence that Mueller intentionally hired Democrat sympathizers with intent. There doesn't seem to be any evidence of that.
Try hiring only white people to work in your business, or try renting your apartments only to white people. Then try telling a judge that there's no evidence you did it on purpose. Good luck with that.

Your post makes no sense. The entire point of a SC is to investigate outside of the partisan realm.
Yes, Mueller should have vetted his staff to ensure bipartisanship. No one expects appointees to be apolitical, but we do expect a measure of balance or else, leave the investigation to the hacks at the fbi.
You would be here weeping blood if he stacked his team with Trump donors. Try a little honesty.

He's written a bit more of consequence than just that.

Robert Mueller himself has donated to Republicans. Kushner and Manafort are represented by the law firm that most of his team has worked for.
He should resign.
He should resign.

What does that have to do with anything? Opinions change as new facts become known, at least they should.
For example, I think Mueller is a honest man who is a good choice for special counsel, but given the new details we've learned as regards how important Comey's word could become in the investigation, Mueller has the appearance of a conflict of interest which according to DoJ rules should cause him to recuse himself.

Meanwhile, the Federal Grand Jury's been calling witnesses. They've subpoenaed a former Russian military officer who met with Donald Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort, during the campaign - in Jared Kushner's building, no less.
At height of Russia tensions, Trump campaign chairman Manafort met with business associate from Ukraine
Manafort, by the way, resigned after a story came out that he'd his name was in a Ukranian's ledger for a $12.7 million IOU for his consulting work for the Pro-Russian Ukranian political party of Victor Yanukovych.

In August, as tension mounted over Russia’s role in the U.S. presidential race, Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, sat down to dinner with a business associate from Ukraine who once served in the Russian army. Konstantin Kilimnik, who learned English at a military school that some experts consider a training ground for Russian spies, had helped run the Ukraine office for Manafort’s international political consulting practice for 10 years...
Kilimnik’s name also appeared this spring in a previously undisclosed subpoena sought by federal prosecutors... The subpoena was issued by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia, where, until recently, Manafort’s business was headquartered.

TigerDoc, is it your contention that hillary clinton would be president now if russia did not "interfere"?
Posted on 6/20/17 at 11:20 am to HailHailtoMichigan!
No idea, but I think that without Jim Comey's letter about the emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop she probably would be. Nate Silver put out a good piece on that a while back.

Then you fundamentally do not understand why Trump won.

Don't get me wrong. There are lots of things that affect votes.
Here's Silver's piece. He himself thinks the Comey letter was decisive, but this piece is just the tenth of a 10-part series that discusses other reasons that Trump won.
The Comey Letter Probably Cost Clinton The Election

I just feel like a lot of this stuff we are seeing in recent months has a lot to do with democrats and progressives refusing to see that a large amount of Americans are not on their side. Instead of admitting that fact, they brush it away by claiming Russia is responsible.
It's cognitive dissonance in many ways.
