The latest addition to special counsel Robert Mueller’s team of prosecutors contributed to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, according to federal campaign records.
Uzo Asonye, an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is joining Mueller’s stable of prosecutors to work as local counsel on the case against Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman who has been indicted on money laundering and bank fraud charges.
Asonye worked at the firm O’Melveny & Myers before joining the U.S. attorney’s office in 2010. Asonye donated $900 to Clinton’s presidential campaign from January to April 2008, according to Federal Election Commission records. He has not donated to any other national political campaigns since then.
Asonye is just the latest Democrat to join Mueller’s team.

The irony continues with another Mueller staff member that has conflicts of interest.
They already got rid of at least one, now they hire another.
What's going on here anyway ?

I'm the first one to say that Mueller and his investigatuon are corrupt and clearly working for Clinton to this day. It's obvious to anyone who isn't blinded and made ignorant and dull by the propoganda they've allowed themselves to be made stupid by.
But, what are the rules for federal officials and prosecutors, etc., and donating or supporting political candidates? Are there rules? Seems like a whole lot of them, on both crooked sides, would be exempt from lots of jobs if that were the case. But I don't know, so surely someone here does and wants to educate on that point. ?
Even if it's allowed, Mueller is either an idiot or so corrupt and believes he is untouchable for not installing someone who doesn't have any obvious candidate alliances (donations). Can he not find ONE person who isn't working for Team Antichrist?

Wow, a whole $900 dollars! Totally worth it to jeopardize his career in this high profile case because he once donated and maybe even voted for Clinton!

"Subject to Interpretation" and "Opinion" of course...
18 U.S. Code § 208
😎
As The Daily Caller News Foundation has reported, none of Mueller’s prosecutors, which number nearly 20 in all, are registered Republicans. As of February, 13 Mueller lawyers were registered Democrats. A public records search shows Asonye has registered to vote as a Democrat.
At least 12 Mueller attorneys have donated to Democratic political candidates.

Andrew Weissmann, a Justice Department lawyer handling the Manafort case for Mueller’s team, reportedly attended Hillary Clinton’s election night party. Weissmann has donated $6,600 to the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton and Obama campaigns.
