Donna Brazile: We cannot sweep the dust under the rug in regard to Mueller's findings
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile argued on Friday that the "integrity of our elections" in America is at stake if we try to move too quickly past the Mueller report and its findings.
Although Mueller announced on Wednesday that he would be shuttering the special counsel's office and resigning from the Department of Justice, Brazile said during an interview with "America's Newsroom" hosts that there is still a lot of processing and action that needs to take place following the conclusion of Mueller's investigation.
"There is this rush to try to come up with a conclusion before we have all the facts," the Fox News contributor said.

Mueller's investigation, which found that Russian forces did attempt to interfere with the 2016 presidential election, is not a partisan issue but one that affects all Americans, Brazile said.

Echoing the arguments of a number of conservative figures including Mark Levin and President Trump's lawyer, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Brazile added that she believes Mueller should testify, to a certain extent, about the investigation.
"He should do a two-step. Go in private and say here is why I can't say this publicly," she said.

"It disgusts me to read this and then get up and watch television and say excuse me, this doesn't bother you?" she said.
