“Justice Department ethics experts have concluded that newly appointed special counsel Robert Mueller can oversee the investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin during the 2016 presidential election — even though his former law firm represents several people who could be caught up in the matter,” the Washington Post reports.

1. Wait a minute, you mean they cleared him for what they hired him for?

You mean they did not clear him before they made the official hire?

2. No, the WH objected using an obscure ethics rule. Mueller complied by quitting the law firm before

accepting the position. Amateur hour at the WH while Bannon and Jared (who think they are geniuses) grasp at straws. How long until Trumpy starts to bash Mueller?

3. Not long my friend, he can't help himself.

However, I don't think he'll pull another "Comey" and fire him. He's already opened up a hornet's nest with that move and it will only get worse if he tries to fire Mueller. He may be stupid but he ain't crazy, yet.
