Kellyanne Conway Disses Special Counsel: 'Mr. Mueller and His Band of Democratic Donors'

Source: Mediaite

During a highly contentious and combative interview this morning on CNN’s Reliable Sources which began with host Brian Stelter asking how attacking CNN “makes America great again,”, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway criticized the network for focusing so much attention on Russia. She responded with indignation when Stelter pointed out that even though she was Trump’s campaign manager, much of what is in the news about potential collusion between Trump and Russia occurred before she joined the campaign.

Are you alleging there was active conversations with Russians trying to change the election results?” Conway asked. “Because very few people are saying that. Are you saying that or just trying to put it out there because you guys are so invested? What is there? What constitutional crisis are we facing right now?”

When Stelter brought up the Mueller probe and how many are concerned there’d be a crisis if Trump fired the special counsel and that Trump should want Mueller to get to the truth instead, Conway tossed out a snarky comeback.

“Isn’t Mr. Mueller and his band of Democratic donors doing that?” Conway claimed.

Trump's flying monkeys, and his Russian bots, will repeat that incessantly from here on out. Another lie will soon become a "fact."

Mueller is a Republican and was the Republican George W. Bush FBI Director appointee.


WASHINGTON POST

FBI Nominee Lauded for Tenacity

By Peter Slevin and Dan Eggen July 30, 2001

<...>

Mueller, 56, is a registered Republican, yet a striking number of people describe him as apolitical. A Justice Department senior staff meeting went quiet this year when Mueller ran through a list of people he considered qualified for top temporary jobs, most of them Democrats. It had never occurred to him that Democrats and the new Republican administration might not mesh.

Mueller owes his first significant Justice Department job to George H.W. Bush, his second to Bill Clinton. Now, he heads into the confirmation process with the support of liberal California Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) and conservative Republican Attorney General John D. Ashcroft.''

AFAIK he's never run for elected office. If Kellyanne knows of people who like to donate money for the heck of it she can send some of them my way: I know quite a few people who could use the extra cash.

Does that mean he can't be fair and impartial as a president? Or is it OIYA(supposedly)R?

Imagine if the R's actually had the kind of dirt on Muller & team that we have on every one of these treasonous bastards!
