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 thenUnited States Attorney Rod Rosenstein, currently serving 

as Deputy Attorney General, and then-Assistant FBI DiVerDate Sep 11 2014 00:33 Nov 04, 2017 Jkt 079200 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6300 E:\BILLS\HR606.IH HR606

•HRES 606 IH 

rector 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;

•HRES 606 IH 

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 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives ex2 presses its sense that Robert Mueller is compromised and 

3 should resign from his special counsel position imme4 diately.
