Can anyone point to an investigator on special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe who isn’t either hostile towards President Trump or a bonfire Democrat?
A new report by the Daily Caller reveals an attorney on Mueller’s team, Aaron Zelinsky, was not only a Huffington Post blogger, but has donated to Democrat candidates.
“I’m a Democrat,” Zelinsky wrote on November 7th, 2012.
Daily Caller reports:
Aaron Zelinsky, a self-described Democrat, wrote nearly 50 articles as a contributor for the liberal news outlet from 2009 to 2014.
A review of his articles shows that he supported President Barack Obama’s efforts to close Guantanamo Bay, opposed President George W. Bush’s policy on torture, wrote in defense of gun control and argued for government-imposed limits on how much corporate executives can earn. […]
Zelinsky expressed support for Democratic candidate John Kerry before a 2004 general election debate. “From one Yale debater to another: Good luck, senator. I’m rooting for you,” he wrote in The Hartford Courant. And he had encouraging words for Obama, wishing him good luck before a 2012 debate against Republican challenger Mitt Romney. “Stay relaxed up there,” Zelinsky wrote in a column. “You did the debate thing in 2008; it’s a piece of cake. No sweat.” […]
In addition, Federal Elections Commission records, which only list contributions made at the federal level, show that nine of the 16 publicly-disclosed lawyers on the Mueller team have donated to Democratic candidates.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft reported, Zelinsky, worked as an attorney on detail from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Maryland. — He worked under Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in Maryland.
Hoft put together one of most comprehensive lists in all the media highlighting potential political bias on Mueller’s probe.
It’s a must read.
