Hume on Mueller: Special Counsel Investigation Is a ‘Largely Unaccountable Force’

RUSH EXCERPT:
HUME: "The first thing that struck me about it was that this man is accused of a crime that happened during the course of the investigation, which is to say no investigation, no crime. This is absolutely typical of what we have a special counsel and independent counsel investigations. They end up as often as not being after people for what happened during the investigation and not so much for the event or the crime or the issue for which the investigation was started in the first place. And that is where we are here in this case. That is also true of the Papadopoulos indictment. And also likewise true that to the Paul Manafort and associated charges were about things that happened before the campaign, which was supposed to be the principal subject events during the campaign and the principal of the investigation, as he pointed out earlier, Tucker, we are pretty far afield here from the original purpose of the investigation, which if you are right, may be a good thing. But it is also giving you an idea of what a wide-ranging and largely unaccountable force a special counsel investigation can be."
