Fmr. Independent Counsel on Mueller: People Are Entitled in the First Amendment to Have Opinions

RUSH EXCERPT:
ZELDIN: "I think he is correct. In the scope of one's work as a prosecutor, you encounter FBI agents and other federal prosecutors all have political affiliation. But if you work without sort of giving deference, then there's no matter. I was involved in two pretty politically charged situations. One was the hostages in Iran and an independent counsel investigation involving George herb Bert walker bush and then president Clinton. We had Democrats and Republicans on both staff on both of those investigations and it didn't impact our determination of the facts in any way, shape or form and I think that Rosenstein is saying exactly that. People are entitled to the first Amendment to have opinions. If there's no evidence of those opinions are biassing the outcome of their investigation, that's so and that's the way Rosenstein sees it and he's talking to Mueller about that and that if he finds there is a need for removal, as he did in the case of the FBI agent -- remember, Mueller removed this guy for appearance problems that they'll do the same thing with any other person."
