Shannon Bream PRESSES Rep. Gaetz on whether Republicans are ‘SHOWBOATING’ for the cameras

Shannon Bream had a pretty fair interview with Rep. Gaetz, one of the most vociferous GOP defenders of Trump and critics of the DOJ and FBI last night. She straight up asks him if Republicans are just “showboating” for the cameras in Congressional questioning of Rosenstein and others.

Check out his pretty good response:

Gaetz makes a pretty good presentation of all the reasons which are legitimately worrying about the actions of the DOJ and the FBI. Where he and others lose me is when he says Mueller has to wrap up his investigation. Why? The two reasons they give are just not very good. One, they say that his investigation has gone on too lone – but the investigations by Kenneth Star into Bill Clinton was far far longer, and the more recent investigation into Hillary Clinton and Benghazi was also longer than Mueller’s. That just doesn’t make sense given how many indictments Mueller has racked up. Secondly, they say that Mueller has not collected any evidence that Trump colluded. But that’s not the only focus of his investigation, AND they don’t know what evidence he has of that, because he hasn’t revealed everything he has yet. That they argue so irrationally makes me think there IS something there, and they’re afraid Mueller will find it.
