President Donald Trump’s team is looking for information that could get investigators recused or justify firing Mueller, according to three people with knowledge of the research effort.

In her letter (“If they made a sitcom out of the Trump presidency, would they call it ‘Get Stupid’?”), Yvonne Crisp referred to Robert Mueller as a courageous, steadfast patriot who holds the future of American democracy in his hands.

Seriously? This statement is so pathetically asinine that it’s almost funny, but for the fact that there is at least one person in the world who believes it.

This is the kind of dimwitted mentality that the Obamacare authors were referring to when they said the American public is so stupid that they can be convinced of anything.
