Of the attorney general and the head of the fbi for allowing an investigation. now, there may have been valid arguments as rod rosenstein made for wycombemy needed to be fired. but president trump went on national tv and admit head fired him for a very different reason. i think those are legitimate things that congress can look into. i think there are other things with two years of congress not fulfilling its responsibility to conduct oversight of the government. but i think the mueller investigation itself and the findings should be accepted. i also think they should be released to congress i...
