Hate the messenger, but i like the message getting out
(CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan on Monday defended special counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election amid allegations by President Donald Trump that the investigation is a "witch hunt."
Asked why Republicans aren't defending the President, Ryan stressed that Mueller, a former FBI director under the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, is "anything but" a biased partisan.
"Remember, Bob Mueller is a Republican who was appointed by a Republican, who served in the Republican administration and crossed over, I mean, and stayed on until his term ended. But -- I don't think many people are saying Bob Mueller is a person who is a biased partisan. He's really sort of anything but," the speaker said during a radio appearance on "The Jay Weber Show."
