Jeannie Rhee is one of the prosecutors in the special counsel for the Mueller investigation. Yet she is also connected to the Clinton Foundation. Doesn’t that sound like a conflict of interests?
People have been asking questions on Twitter:
I don't know how this has been missed.
Rhee is actually the lead prosecutor in the George Papadopoulos case.

Rhee represented the Clinton Foundation in 2015 against a racketeering lawsuit brought by conservative legal activist group Freedom Watch in 2015.
Rhee also was Hillary Clinton’s attorney in a lawsuit seeking access to her private emails.

Rhee also was an assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia and worked under FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whose wife was given donations from Clinton allies while running for Virginia state Senate.
Is she Anti-Trump? Do you think Rhee can be a a fair prosecutor?

FOX News reported on this a few months back:
Top Mueller investigator’s Democratic ties raise new bias questions
Yet another member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigative team is facing questions over potential bias after it emerged that she used to represent ex-Obama aide Ben Rhodes and the Clinton Foundation.
Jeannie Rhee is a former partner at WilmerHale—the high-profile law firm where Mueller worked prior to taking on the special counsel role. She is one of at least two attorneys who followed Mueller from WilmerHale.
At the firm, Rhee focused on representing people in government investigations, including white-collar criminal probes and criminal and civil fraud matters.
But this week, details of Rhee’s client relationships emerged, revealing that she represented Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes during the House Select Committee on Benghazi’s investigation of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack.
What business does this woman have serving on the special counsel?
