Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is suddenly unsure about special council head Robert Mueller — a man he once called “superb.”
Gingrich outlined his concerns on The Laura Ingraham Show. According to Gingrich, Mueller’s appointments have donated almost exclusively to Democrat politicians over the past several years.
“Republicans are delusional if they think the special counsel is going to be fair,” he tweeted. “Look who he is hiring.check fec [sic] reports. Time to rethink.”
He’s not wrong about the donations. Four top lawyers hired by Mueller have contributed tens of thousands of dollars over the years to the Democratic Party and Democratic candidates, including former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump’s 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton.
One of the hires, Jeannie Rhee, also worked as a lawyer for the Clinton Foundation and helped persuade a federal judge to block a conservative activist’s attempts to force Bill and Hillary Clinton to answer questions under oath about operations of the family-run charity.
Campaign-finance reports show that Rhee gave Clinton the maximum contributions of $2,700 in 2015 and again last year to support her presidential campaign. She also donated $2,300 to Obama in 2008 and $2,500 in 2011. While still at the Justice Department, she gave $250 to the Democratic National Committee Services Corp.
Rhee also has contributed to a trio of Democratic senators: Mark Udall of New Mexico, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island.
James Quarles, who worked on the Watergate investigation as a young prosecutor, has an even longer history of supporting Democratic politicians. He gave $1,300 to Obama in 2007 and $2,300 in 2008. He also gave $2,700 to Clinton last year.
[…]Andrew Weissmann, a former Justice Department lawyer who then worked at Jenner & Block until 2011, contributed $2,300 to Obama in 2008 and $2,000 to the DNC Services Corp. in 2006. Weissmann served as chief of the Justice Department’s criminal fraud section and worked on the Enron fraud case.
A fourth lawyer on Mueller’s staff, Michael Dreeben, donated $1,000 to Clinton 2006 and $250 to Obama in both 2007 and 2008. He was deputy solicitor general and has appeared many times before the Supreme Court.
This isn’t good news for Trump, who can’t exactly fire these appointments in the light of this revelation. Many have taken this as an example of the “deep state” flexing their power from unelected positions of power.
Only time will tell if that’s true.

The Democratic party is the one that has been against America and Trump. Most of the Hollywood elites displaying evil photos and supporting plays that depict evil on our president and protesting against America and Trump. Democrats are wanting Islamic Muslims in that say Death To America. Democrats and the Main Stream news media have been trying to find something on Trump ever since he has been in office. Well, it hasn’t happened. He hasn’t done anything to be impeached. Abraham Lincoln said that the Democrats were always hounding him and protesting. Sounds like the Democrats are still the same, actually worse.
Fix
Witch hunt not justice
Shameful
Gal 6:7…Ye shall reap what you sow. Cheeto and his minions of deplorables, made threats, incited violence against folks at his rallies, continues to demean and disparage EVERY single intelligence agency, the US Military, journalists, and respected professionals from the Foreign service, including our allies across the globe. And worst of all, the Idiot-in-Chief disparages hard working, HONEST folks for telling the TRUTH. So the schoolyard bully is getting what he asked for; a punch in the face…just like he suggested. As to the violent tone, let me know how you felt when you saw the hanging, burning effigy of the former President , presented to his motorcade on numerous occasions.
The truth can’t be hidden forever comrade….not even by the Idiot-in Chief…especially by the Cheeto.
It’s all rigged! Trump supporters know this. We stand. behind Trump. It’s a witch hunt led by a crook!!!!!
