On Fox News program ‘The Story with Martha MacCallum,’ this week, former Clinton strategist Mark Penn eviscerated special counsel Robert Mueller’s “corrupt” Trump-Russia probe.
“MARK PENN: “Well, look, I spent a year fighting Ken Starr and I think any reasonable person looking at what happened here says this investigation had no foundation and whatever foundation it had was not only wrong but corrupt. I think Christopher Steele was part of the FBI when he leaked, lied, and then was fired. Page and Strzok are clearly biased. The head of the FBI was clearly biased. The head of the CIA appeared to be doing illegal leaks as well. This whole thing was corrupt. There is a doctrine called the fruits of the poisonous tree, that says when investigations get started like, this when searches and seizures are done on this basis, they should be thrown out. I think that’s probably the best way to stop this thing because, otherwise, we are going all the way to the end and I don’t think we should waste another year here.”
Penn isn’t the first commentator to evoke the legal doctrine ‘fruit of the poisonous tree,’ in reference to the probe.
As The Gateway Pundit reported last year, legal expert Jonathan Turley asked whether or not the special counsel may have doomed the Trump-Russia investigation by way of ‘fruit of the poisonous tree’ theory.
