Mueller Removed Top Agent in Russia Inquiry Over Possible Anti-Trump Texts

The Hatch Act of 1939, officially An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, is a United States federal law whose main provision prohibits employees in the executive branch of the federal government, except the president, vice-president, and certain designated high-level officials[1] from engaging in some forms of political activity. It went into law on August 2, 1939. The law was named for Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico. It was most recently amended in 1940.

I hope this doesn't mean the integrity of Mueller and his hatchet people are compromised by this revelation of extreme prejudice within his own ranks against the people being investigated. Might make them fudge the facts or put a spin on their findings.

I'm glad he did the right thing by relieving him. Even the appearance of misconduct, bias, or anything equally derogatory is not appropriate in anything as sensitive and important as this effort.
