That's bullshit. If I have a history as an editor of working for liberal newspapers, the political reality is that I'm more likely to be hired by a liberal leaning newspaper than a conservative one. That doesn't make concentrating on applying to liberal newspapers a political decision. All decisions need to take political realities into account, that doesn't mean that all decisions are political. A decision is political if the purpose or the goal is to achieve a specific political effect. If there is an incidental political consequence of one's decision, that doesn't make the decision political. My goal in applying to liberal newspapers is to get a job, not to advance liberal causes. Likewise, Mueller's decision to attempt prosecution when things are most amenable to his securing a conviction is a strategic consideration, not a political one. That I even need to explain this to you is pathetic. But apparently you think the purpose of Mueller's investigation is to act in the interests of the Republican party and conservatives like you. Apparently you think Mueller's mandate implies he should undermine his own efforts to prosecute federal crimes. Why you think that is as obvious as it is stupid.
The idiots on the right have some stupid fucking idea that when parties flip and the other is in, all the employees of the prior one get fired and the entire government becomes one party.
Our intel has always been full of a variety of political views. But regardless, republicans and democrats work side by side and overlap administrations. Their oath is to upholding the law, not to a politician.
And their logic sucks that it is a "witch hunt" considering that Comey, Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller ARE ALL REPUBLICANS.
