Oh, so now you can criticize Special Counsel Robert Mueller? From the WaPost on Rep. Adama Schiff who is concerned that Mueller isn’t being tough enough on the president:

From the article:
Schiff voiced concern that Mueller has shied away from investigating Trump’s ties to the German lender, saying that “if the special counsel hasn’t subpoenaed Deutsche Bank, he can’t be doing much of a money laundering investigation.”
Schiff was referring to reports last year that Mueller’s office had told Trump’s lawyers it was not seeking Deutsche Bank records related to Trump’s accounts or loans. Deutsche Bank became a critical lender to Trump in the late 1990s when major U.S. banks refused to do business with the New York real estate developer after repeated bankruptcies.
Over to you, journos. GO FIGHT THIS FIRE:
Suddenly journalists decide it's totes OK to criticize the special counsel's work — but only if you're criticizing from the tinfoil-hat realm of saying he's not targeting Trump *enough*. https://t.co/EGmuCasfTj

And it’s not just conservatives noting this, we might add:
In anticipation of the less-than-devastating Mueller report he wanted, @RepAdamSchiff is now starting to attack Robert Mueller's investigation as inadequate, lax and negligent. Is it now permissible to impugn the former FBI Director & Special Counsel? https://t.co/YjYhZp1LyF
