Here is a rogues’ gallery of those assigned to investigate the 2016 election --

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein: previously supervised an investigation into the approval by the Obama administration of a controversial sale of an American company now known as Uranium One to Russia. Russia used bribery, kickbacks and extortion to influence the uranium deal.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller: Mueller was FBI director during the uranium investigation. After being dismissed by President Trump, Comey leaked government memos to influence the investigation. Comey may have violated the law, but he accomplished his goal of getting his mentor Mueller appointed special counsel by Rosenstein.

FBI Investigator Peter Strzok: demoted from the Mueller investigation for sending anti-Trump text messages and allegedly relied on the anti-Trump 'Dirty Dossier' created by Fusion GPS (paid for in part by the Clinton campaign) to begin an investigation into Russian election interference, including spying on Trump campaign associates. He was also in charge of the Clinton email investigation and declared her “extremely careless” – not “grossly negligent” – which was the basis of the decision not to prosecute.

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe: involved in both the FBI’s investigation of the uranium sale as well as the investigation in Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, neither of which resulted in negative outcomes for Clinton. The inspector general is now investigating allegations that McCabe should have recused himself, among other concerns, from the handling of the Clinton email controversy. McCabe’s wife received over $675,000 from Democratic campaign committees, including Clinton loyalists, in her campaign for the Virginia state Senate.

Andrew Weissmann, former chief of the Justice Department Criminal Fraud Section and a former partner at WilmerHale: donates frequently to Democrats. He attended Hillary Clinton’s election night party, and praised then-Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, saying he was "so proud" of her for defying Trump. Weissmann is one of Mueller’s top deputies.

Aaron Zebley, chief of staff for then-FBI Director Mueller, former partner at WilmerHale: represented Justin Cooper, a key figure in the Hillary Clinton email controversy. Zebley is now on the Mueller team.

Justin Cooper, former Bill Clinton aide who set up Hillary Clinton’s private server: admitted to two instances where he destroyed Hillary Clinton’s old mobile devices by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer.

Jeannie Rhee, former partner at WilmerHale: represented ex-Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes, the Clinton Foundation in a 2015 racketeering case, and Hillary Clinton herself in a lawsuit seeking access to her private emails.

Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce G. Ohr: recently demoted after evidence surfaced of his contacts with Fusion GPS. Inexplicably, Fusion GPS employed Ohr’s wife as well.

Almost every day, we hear of biases and conflicts among the Justice Department-Mueller team – with no end in sight. Investigators did not report their conflicts during the department’s investigation of Hillary Clinton. Mueller’s team continues to ignore its own conflicts of interest in a most unethical way. Our justice system deserves a better outcome. We must clean up the Justice Department and institute an official process to vet our investigators.

What do you call an investigation by Muller's team appointed by Rosenstein that began with no other purpose than to protect all the investigators from criminal action?
