      Matt Lewis Retweeted BL FACTZ

      My point is simple. This *looks* very bad (http://www.nationalreview.com/article/454543/mueller-investigation-too-many-anti-trump-coincidences …) and opens the door for Trump to attempt to discredit the investigation. Mueller should have vetted his team.https://twitter.com/BLFactsRule/status/943673615672922112 …

      Matt Lewis added,

      @mattklewis 1) I just seen your comments on @AC360 I respect your objectivity for being an independent thinker, for the most part.But come on, Mueller bias because 1/2 of team donated to Hillary.What if 1/2 voted for Trump, then the spectrum of exoneration would be tainted right?

      Wouldn’t it have been illegal for him to vet his team for political affiliation? And didn’t Mueller immediately respond precisely because of the appearance of impropriety?

      I suspect Matt's gonna say "yes" and "yes," but that doesn't mean Trump can't now plausibly cast aspersions that will be viewed credibly by a lot of people.

      But also, I suspect he could have vetted for *donations*, just not *affiliations*. Those are different things.

      Replying to @LizMair @dandrezner

      Donations are public information. But let’s be honest, some of these people were rabidly anti-Trump , and had conflicts of interest—or at least the appearance of them. I just think this opens the door to Trump putting the whole system on trial.

          No. It doesn't. Either you operate by the rule of law or you don't. Either you put your career first or the country. Pick a side Matt. It seems you are on the side of obstruction and conspiracy theories rather than lifelong Republicans like Mueller who served the country.

          But don't they need fact to prove the case? Not by opinions?

          Yeah but the argument you're making is that Trump can't be investigated by people who don't like Trump. That argument would not fly with Hillary. I mean do you not see how problematic only pro Trump people can investigate Trump is?

          Well, those over $200 are. And some campaigns choose to report those under that amount, too. Obviously, if you're arguing that you have clout with small donors, it behooves you to report amounts under that.

          But separately, yes, there's the appearance of rabidity, though in the case of the guy calling Trump an "idiot," I actually think that's benign. Hard to think he's a great criminal mastermind who's guilty if he's an "idiot."

          We're MUCH more concerned about the "insurance policy" text.
