- It emerged on Friday that special counsel Robert Mueller had filed the first charges in the Russia investigation.
- President Donald Trump's most stalwart allies promptly had a Twitter meltdown.
- Some called for Trump to fire Mueller and investigate him, while others said the focus should be on the "Clinton administration."
On Friday, CNN reported that a federal grand jury approved the first charges special counsel Robert Mueller had filed as part of the Russia investigation — and President Donald Trump's closest allies melted down.
Mueller is tasked with investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 election . He is also looking into whether anyone on the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to tilt the election in his favor, and his decision to file charges likely indicates that the probe is moving from a political fight to a legal one.
Following CNN's report, several prominent Trump supporters slammed the special counsel or shifted attention onto Hillary Clinton and reports that her campaign had hired a law firm which retained Fusion GPS last year, the opposition-research firm that funded the so-called Steele dossier containing several salacious allegations about Trump's ties to Russia.
Sebastian Gorka , a controversial Trump supporter who used to work in the White House, suggested that Trump should fire Mueller after the news broke.
" If this man's team executes warrants this weekend he should stripped of his authority by @realDonaldTrump," Gorka tweeted . "Then HE should be investigated."
And Corey Lewandowski, Trump's former campaign manager, called the "speculation" around Mueller "insane," in a Fox News segment on Saturday morning.
"What we should be focusing on is the continued lies of the Clinton Administration," Lewandowski said.
Fox News host Sean Hannity lashed out at the media following the CNN story.
"Guess;Mueller and Media working hand in hand," Hannity tweeted . "Media to be tipped off. Mueller was FBI Director Who knew of Russian crimes before Uranium one."

Something is going down.
They are doing anything and everything to shift focus and blame.
Not only did Trump's cohort Roger Stone have a homophobic twitter melt down but Twitter just suspended him and might ban him permanently.
.
LOL.....these Trump supporters are truly nuts!
Yep.
They are like rabid dogs.
Some called for Trump to fire Mueller and investigate him, while others said the focus should be on the "Clinton administration."
I guess they are hoping that Hillary will soon be impeached-- and removed from office a few weeks later!
("stuck on stupid...")
There is a saying that a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. So, in essence, any sort of indictment from a Grand Jury means absolutely nothing other than there is a possibility of a crime being committed and the person indicted committed the crime. Too often, we hear indicted and we immediately jump to the conclusion that the person who was indicted committed a crime and actually is guilty of the crime, when the evidence may show otherwise when at trial. The Grand Jury hears nothing from defense or learns of any exculpatory evidence, so they usually come down to just rubber-stamping the prosecution's charges. It is rare for a Grand Jury to refuse an indictment.
So you say it is nothing. I guess we will find out.
It seems to be enough to get trumps supporters all in a twist.
Because Mueller has a conflict of interest as he is linked to Comey, was a former head of the FBI under the Obama Administration serving through 2013, and is part of the Uranium One deal which centers around the Clintons and Obama's actions leading to its approval. Those things should require Mueller to recuse himself and have a new special counsel appointed to take his place.
Oh please. Just regurgitating Fox News headlines and talking points isn't going to get you home here.
Mueller is going to send crooks to jail shortly. Why would he recuse himself?
Mueller was hired by Bush in 2001. The deal went through in 2013. I just find it convenient that all of this is coming up now. Mueller is doing a separate investigation that has nothing to do with Clinton or Obama. I think trump should be the last person in the world to talk about conflict of interest.
If the republicans thought something was wrong with what went down, considering they have been in control of congress, they could have done something at any time. Instead they wait until some might be indited and decide whoa, maybe we should take another look at Clinton. They have been investigating everything under the sun about her right up until the election ended.
Now that they seem to be inept at running the country or even writing laws, they need red meat for their base to fire them up for next years elections, as some of them have been saying at speeches that if they don't do things and get them done they may lose the house.
They are doing whatever is in their power to change the narrative away from themselves and their base eats it up hook line and sinker. Don't look over here HILLARY!
Not at all Ender. It's the people against the Establishment and those people who think it is their job to tell everyone how they are going to live their lives. It's not just the Democrats or Liberals.
You see, Trump is like your junk yard dog. You can't take him for a walk because he might just bite the head off your neighbors dog, but you can rest assured he'll clean your yard of all the rodents who have taken up residence there and make it safe to go outside and sit on the grass without getting poop all over you.
Junkyard dogs poop too (if not bigger and larger) and you have to clean up after them.
I actually don't pay attention to Fox News much. Most of what I said I learned from links to the Washington Post.
The money is a nice thing. But, Russian Oligarch money may have a 'tinge' attached. The problem is the fact that there's so much of it being flushed around. For some---it may be problematic.
Conflicts of interest? Yes indeed.
I'm hoping that Mueller is seriously investigating Trump's financial ties to Russian oligarchs. His true allegiance is to them not to the American people.
Pretty sure that Mueller is doing his job.
And what you say if it turns out that it is Hillary and the DNC that has all the ties to Russian Oligarchs?
You going to be as loud and proud if it's her time to take the heat? It's her hand that is taking the foreign money?
Or are you just going to slink away and ignore it?
I already volunteered to pull the lever on the hangman's trap door if they prove it was T-Rump...
you willing to do the same if it is Hillary?
I'm sure the RWNJs will be able to weave that nonsense in with Putin's overt hostility towards Hillary and their work to throw the election to Trump.
It probably has something to do with that pedophile ring she operated out of the non-existent basement of a pizzeria.
I submit that if they had film of her operating that pedophile ring her supporters would still cheerfully support her.
Or she could slit the throat of a little fur seal in the middle of fifth avenue with TV broadcasting it around the world and her followers would cheer her and wonder in awe at her not getting any blood on her clothes.....
For her brain dead followers, she could do no wrong.....
You're projecting NwM.
Nearly 30 years, millions of taxpayers dollars needlessly spent, 100's of thousands of man hours wasted investigating the Clintons with NO crimes found and yet the rabid dogs hounding them still bay for blood.
I submit that even if Hillary was to be taken up to heaven, like Ezekiel, her brain dead, slavering detractors would still be trying to burn her as a witch.
Just a respectfully differing opinion than your own of course. (smile)
Actually it was Trump who said that he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose any voters.
That's probably the only true thing he's ever said.
Do not know. However, The Trump Financial Empire may have "ties" to other nefarious entities also.
We will see. If there is anything anywhere, Mueller will find it. The real question is---whether it will be accepted and rectified by this current government.
Nearly nine years after it began and nearly a year after it ended exactly 0 nada no ranking Obama administration officials have ever been indicted for malfeaseance in office. Not One! Less than a year in and Trump's administration will not be able to say this. Obama's was the squeeky cleanest presidential administration in at least recent history. These are facts, not wild false memes used by far right Trumpites...
