MSNBC Compares Journos and Lawyers To ‘Mafia’ For Criticizing Mueller

On Tuesday’s MSNBC Live with Katy Tur, former George W. Bush White House Ethics Lawyer Richard Painter was brought on as a guest to discuss growing concerns among journalists and some within the Trump administration that there are serious problems with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian “collusion.” In spite of multiple reports from outlets across the political spectrum calling various aspects of both Mueller’s investigation and the special counsel’s previous conduct as head of the FBI into question, Painter insisted that “there’s no way you could attack the credibility of Robert Mueller.”
