Today, Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) and 171 Members of Congress, sent a letter to the Deputy Attorney General of the United States, Rod J. Rosenstein, to express their support for the investigation being conducted by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, III. The effort was led by Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43). We write to express our support for the work of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III, and to urge you to ensure that he be allowed to continue his investigation unfettered by political influence or threats to his authority to its natural and appropriate conclusion based on the law, the facts, and the evidence, the Members wrote. Kaptur spoke at a press conference which you can watch here (Kaptur speaks at the 10 min mark). Special Counsel Mueller was appointed by Mr. Rosenstein on May 17, 2017 to lead an investigation into important matters arising out of the 2016 elections, including any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump. However, despite Mr. Muellers record of integrity, established through his previous service as the FBI Director for 12 years over two presidential administrations, and the clear progress that Mr. Mueller is making in his investigation, the partisan media, Republican Members of Congress and President Donald Trump, himself, have attempted to undermine Mr. Muellers investigation by advancing a false narrative that Special Counsel Muellers investigation is biased.
