                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                            November 3, 2017

   Mr. Gaetz (for himself, Mr. Biggs, and Mr. Gohmert) submitted the 
   following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the 
                               Judiciary

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION

 
   Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Robert 
        Mueller should resign from his special counsel position.

Whereas from 2001-2013, Robert Mueller served as Director of the Federal Bureau 
        of Investigation;
Whereas, as early as 2009, the FBI discovered that Russian officials were 
        engaging in bribery and extortion, tainting the American uranium 
        industry in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act to strengthen 
        their own nuclear program;
Whereas investigations into Russia's corruption of American uranium-related 
        businesses were supervised by then-United States Attorney Rod 
        Rosenstein, currently serving as Deputy Attorney General, and then-
        Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, currently serving as Deputy 
        Director of the FBI;
Whereas despite knowledge of this corruption, backed by documents and an 
        eyewitness account, neither the Department of Justice nor the Federal 
        Bureau of Investigation under the leadership of Mr. Mueller brought 
        charges;
Whereas the Department of Justice actively threatened the liberty of a 
        confidential informant embedded within Russia's nuclear program who 
        wished to inform Congress about Russian corruption of American uranium-
        related companies, and the FBI required this informant to sign a non-
        disclosure agreement, intentionally depriving Congress of information 
        vital to national security and Congressional oversight authority;
Whereas Members of Congress have raised objections to, and concerns with, the 
        sale of American uranium assets to Russian companies, and raised these 
        concerns in official correspondence to then-President Obama as early as 
        2010;
Whereas in 2010, when the Russian Federation needed American approval of uranium 
        sales, former President William Jefferson Clinton received hundreds of 
        thousands of dollars in speaking fees from Kremlin-linked institutions, 
        and requested approval from the State Department to meet with central 
        figures in Russia's nuclear industry, and eventually met with Russian 
        leader Vladimir V. Putin at Mr. Putin's private residence;
Whereas the Clinton Foundation has either directly or indirectly received 
        undisclosed donations totaling millions of dollars from Russian-linked 
        sources, including from officials in Russia's nuclear program;
Whereas in 2010, Hillary Clinton, founder of the Clinton Foundation, wife of 
        former President Clinton, and then Secretary of State, approved the sale 
        of Uranium One to a Russian state-owned nuclear technology corporation;
Whereas any thorough and honest investigation into the corruption of American-
        uranium related business must include investigating the willful 
        blindness of the FBI and its leaders;
Whereas under 28 CFR 45.2, no individual can participate in a criminal 
        investigation if he has a personal or political relationship with any 
        organization substantially involved in the conduct that is subject of 
        the investigation;
Whereas under 28 CFR 45.2, no individual may participate in a criminal 
        investigation if the individual's participation would create an 
        appearance of conflict of interest likely to affect public perception of 
        the integrity of the investigation;
Whereas the Code of Federal Regulations, applied to Mr. Mueller, demonstrates 
        that he cannot be allowed to investigate his former colleagues, 
        supervisors, and subordinates; and
Whereas these obvious conflicts of interest are unacceptable to the United 
        States justice system and the American people: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses its sense 
that Robert Mueller is compromised and should resign from his special 
counsel position immediately.
                                 <all>
