FOX News: Mueller team criticized by fellow attorneys for history of questionable tactics
Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team running the Russia collusion probe are being accused by fellow attorneys of employing aggressive and questionable tactics in past cases, potentially putting a dent in his straight-shooter image.
As the investigation heats up and key players like former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and press secretary Sean Spicer are interviewed by investigators, several attorneys with experience in federal cases spoke out with their concerns this week.
Harvey Silverglate, a criminal defense attorney in Massachusetts, wrote an opinion piece accusing Mueller of once trying to entrap him when Mueller was acting U.S. attorney in Boston.
“I have known Mueller during key moments of his career as a federal prosecutor,” Silverglate wrote for WGBH News. “My experience has taught me to approach whatever he does in the Trump investigation with a requisite degree of skepticism or, at the very least, extreme caution.”

WNU Editor: This is very damning .... Silverglate: How Robert Mueller Tried To Entrap Me (Harvey Silverglate, WGBH). On Thursday I had to visit my lawyer's office pertaining to a contract, we always talk politics and international law and I asked him as an attorney (he is licensed to practice law in both Quebec and New York state) what was his take on the Mueller Commission. His answer surprised me .... my lawyer is a hard-core liberal who despises Trump, but he told me that he and many of his fellow attorneys believe that Mueller should resign because he is hopelessly compromised by his relationships with Comey, the Clintons, and the Uranium One scandal. Wow .... he was the last person that I thought would ever say that. I could be wrong .... but people are getting impatient .... they want results, and they want it to be done professionally and without any taint of impropriety. But if professional lawyers are talking like this .... Special Counsel Mueller and his team are definitely not giving the impression that they are the right people for the job. As to what is my take .... I give the Mueller Commission 6 more months .... if they do not hand down indictments by then that lawyers can look at say that they have a case and it pertains to the Russian collusion investigation .... this Special Counsel will be in trouble.
