Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.): Mueller believes 'you're guilty until we prove you innocent'

The top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee on Sunday criticized remarks by Robert Mueller, saying that they showed the special counsel believes "you’re guilty until we prove you innocent.”

Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) was specifically critical of Mueller's decision to say that if his two-year investigation of Trump had resulted in his team being confident that the president had not committed a crime, "we would have said so."

"He starts from the premise that's ... the wrong narrative from America, that we're proving innocence here and you're guilty until we prove you innocence," Collins said.

Collins also speculated Sunday that Mueller is attempting to avoid testifying before the panel so as not to answer questions on the origins of his investigation.

But I though Mueller cleared Trump. Would you fucking idiots make up your mind?

Apparently Republican logic is now a sub species of old Soviet logic.

Mr. Baptist pastor/Air Force Reserve chaplain looked the other way over the various accusations of sexual misconduct against Trump. Not a peep from him. He voted against the Violence Against Women Act, as well. He can take his comments and stick them where the sun don't shine.

Mueller investigated for two years. Does not even INDICT. and he thinks mueller is making the president “guilty until proven innocent”. Shut the fuck up.
