of Clinton's opponent. What does Penn want, Mueller to hire Rudy Giuliani to investigate Trump's crimes?

They are not investigating Clinton's opponent... they are investigating crimes.

Edit: There may be more, but the article I read only mentioned one.

And pointing to the fact that Penn is a Big Fat Liar

Jeannie Rhee

Rhee is one of several attorneys to resign from the WilmerHale law firm to join Mueller's investigation.

She also has two years of DOJ experience, serving as deputy assistant attorney general under former Attorney General Eric Holder. She advised Holder and Obama administration officials on criminal law issues, as well as criminal procedure and executive issues, according to WilmerHale's website.

As many critics of Mueller's investigation have pointed out, Rhee represented Hillary Clinton in a 2015 lawsuit that sought access to her private emails. She also represented the Clinton Foundation in a 2015 racketeering lawsuit.

Rhee is also one of the members of Mueller's team under scrutiny for her political donations, and has doled out more than $16,000 to Democrats since 2008, CNN reported. She maxed out her donations both in 2015 and 2016 to Clinton's presidential campaign, giving a total of $5,400."

“Trump wrongly calls Mueller's staffers Clinton supporters, employees”

"I can say that the people that have been hired are all Hillary Clinton supporters, some of them worked for Hillary Clinton," he said of the special counsel staffers.

We decided to look into the campaign contributions and employment history of the list of Mueller’s eight staffers that the U.S. Justice Department has made available so far.

We found that of the eight, three have made campaign contributions to Hillary Clinton, none have worked for her, and one has defended the Clinton Foundation in court for WilmerHale, the law firm where Mueller was a partner, while another represented a Clinton aide, also for WilmerHale.”

Ps. And guess who else Wilmer-Hale has represented…

“WilmerHale’s representation of several key White House players, including Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.”
