Probe, it was hard to attack mueller because he was a registered republican, a character that was attested to by republicans and democrats on the hill. now, there is a little blood in the water as a result of a number of things, maybe this dossier, these text messages that come out from fbi agents involved in the probe. for republicans, its effective to attack the probe because in the event there is anything that comes out of it, they can undermine that in the court of public opinion. when it co...
