Mueller Probe Team Starts Leaking Special Counsel Investigation Details to Press

[Breitbart] The team charged with investigating whether there was any collusion between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia now appears to be leaking details of the probe to damage him.

"A person familiar with the probe" told Bloomberg that the special counsel is examining a broad range of transactions involving Trump and his associates’ businesses.

The leak comes the day after Trump told the New York Times in an interview that delving into his business matters would be outside the bounds of the Russia investigation.

"The Special Counsel’s Office has undertaken stringent controls to prohibit unauthorized disclosures that deal severely with any member who engages in this conduct," Joshua Stueve, spokesman for the Special Counsel’s Office told Breitbart News in an email response.

The team is led by former FBI Director Robert Mueller, and four of the six attorneys on the team donated to the Democratic National Committee or Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, according to Axios.

James Quarles donated almost $33,000 to Democrats, including Clinton and former President Barack Obama. Jeannie Rhee donated more than $16,000 since 2008 to Democrats, including the maximum donation possible to Clinton in both 2015 and 2016. She has also donated to Obama. Andrew Weissmann donated more than $4,000 to Obama in 2008 and $2,000 to the DNC in 2006, and Elizabeth Prelogar donated $250 each to Clinton in 2016 and Obama in 2012.

Trump and Republican lawmakers have questioned the impartiality of Mueller and the probe, which was created after former FBI Director James Comey leaked a memo to the media for the purpose of prompting a special counsel.

#1 Why would anyone think the leaks would stop with the special prosecutor?

#2 Mueller won't find any impeachable offenses but every time he finds some little tidbit that he thinks the MSM can spin to make Trump look bad he'll leak it.

#3 I'm beginning to think FBI means Funny Business Incorporated or Fame Beats Insecurity. Comey was a leaker and now Mueller? Seems like most of this [Hillary] team has conflicts of interest; this doesn't bode well for the POTUS.
