This will go down well in the Trump camp:
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) defended special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia’s election meddling on Monday, saying that “you can’t argue the investigation hasn’t been effective so far.”
In an appearance at the University of Chicago, Christie said he has repeatedly told President Trump that “there’s no way to make an investigation like this shorter, but there’s lots of ways to make it longer.” “He’s executed on a number of those ways to make it longer,” Christie said.
“Bob Mueller himself is not a partisan, he’s an honest guy, he is a hard working guy, he’s smart and you can’t argue that the investigation hasn’t been effective so far”
