Vukmir wrote that “unaccountable investigations and special prosecutors have become typical.”---Look in the mirror about the upcoming Republican unneeded investigation of Uranium ONE!

State Sen. Leah Vukmir has slammed the FBI and the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, declaring “something is rotten with the way justice is implemented in America today.”

Vukmir, R-Brookfield, who is running for U.S. Senate, made the comments in a Sunday column in the Wall Street Journal that also criticized state prosecutors and the state’s former ethics agency for their involvement in a now-ended secret investigation into Wisconsin Republicans.
..............................

“Take a look at the investigation of the president by Robert Mueller,” Vukmir wrote. “More than $3 million in taxpayer funds, and what has been accomplished? From Lois Lerner and the IRS to James Comey and the FBI, something is rotten with the way justice is implemented in America today.”


..............................................

Critics of the probe have become more vocal in recent days after Mueller removed FBI agent Peter Strzok from the investigation “after an internal investigation found messages he sent that could be interpreted as showing political bias” against Trump, CNN reported...................................................

... plus Don Jr. meeting with a foreign entity (russian lawyer Veselnitskaya) to solicit help for an electoral campaign (which is illegal)...
... plus Don Jr. receiving unsolicited help from the foreign entity Wikileaks for Trump's electoral campaign (which would be illegal, if he ever used what they gave him)...
... plus Jared repeatedly lying about multiple meetings with foreign governments...
... plus Jared trying to set up a secret diplomatic back-channel with Kislyak (which violates the Hatch-Act)...
... plus we have not even delved into the obstruction of justice around Comey's firing.

when one of their own is involved. I was googling yesterday and saw one estimate that nearly $200 million had been spent investigating the Clinton's and not a single criminal charge was ever drawn up over a period of nearly a quarter century. Now in 6 months and with less that 5% of the cost we have 4 indictments and two guilty pleas. Given the choice I'd rather have Mueller investigating both parties fulltime for 2 more decades...
