FINALLY WAKING UP – AT 1:33 P.M. ET:  Republicans are finally waking up to the reality that the Trump administration may be destroyed, or seriously damaged, by out-of-control investigations.  It's happened before.  From Reuters:   

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Three Republican U.S. lawmakers called on Friday for Robert Mueller to resign as special counsel investigating Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, the latest in a series of conservatives’ criticisms of the FBI and Justice Department during the probe of how Moscow may have influenced the campaign.

Representatives Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs and Louis Gohmert accused Mueller of a conflict of interest because he was director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation when former President Barack Obama’s administration approved an agreement allowing a Russian company to buy a Canadian company that owned 20 percent of U.S. uranium supplies.

President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans have been calling for an investigation into the Uranium One deal, amid news of Mueller’s first indictments of Trump associates as the special counsel investigates allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow.

COMMENT:  Seems to me this is an easy call.  Mueller should clearly resign.  He has too many links to the questions under investigation.  He has also hired lawyers with direct links to the Hillary Clinton campaign, raising many eyebrows.  For the good of the country, he should go.
