As Russia Probe Heats Up, Conservatives Call For Special Counsel Mueller To Quit

On Thursday the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal ― a crown jewel in the media empire of Rupert Murdoch, a close Trump ally — went after Mueller as well. It wrote that the dossier news raises the question of whether the document helped fuel the FBI’s probe into Trump’s campaign. Since the dossier attributes allegations to “Kremlin-connected sources,” the board argues that would mean the FBI could have been essentially acting on “disinformation” provided by Russia. And if there were a need to investigate the FBI’s actions, that would make Mueller’s FBI ties a major conflict of interest.

I cancelled my membership (50+ years) and two gift subscriptions to "National Geographic" the same day I found out his evil empire had purchased it. I realize it hurt me far more than it did Murdoch, but I refuse to spend one cent of my money on anything connected to him.

to have changed America, introduced the hatred and warring political scene ... as Americans idly sat by and let it happen. IMO we have a lot of gullible people in the US that are led like sheep and have lost the ability for any critical thinking whatsoever. Just the fact Trump was elected is indicative of the gullibility of the US.

Subscription, I grew up giving school reports based on information from articles in Nat Geo (we have the indexes), there is an entire wall in my house that is dedicated to their storage.

The real shame is that all that knowledge will most likely never be utilized as kids these day can find information on their smart phones.
