FBI veteran Marc Ruskin said the staff of former special counsel Robert Mueller should have recused themselves from the Russia probe in order to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
“The fact that many of the individuals working on their staff were hostile to Trump and more hostile in general to the Republican Party and had been involved in activities such as representing Hillary Clinton or making donations at fundraisers for the Clinton campaign which would indicate a bias [or] at least the appearance of a bias,” Ruskin said.
