As he investigates Trump's aides, Robert Mueller's record shows surprising flaws

When he was named special counsel in May, Robert S. Mueller III was hailed as the ideal lawman — deeply experienced, strait-laced and nonpartisan — to investigate whether President Trump’s campaign had helped with Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

The accolades squared with Mueller’s valor as a Marine rifle platoon commander in Vietnam and his integrity as a federal prosecutor, senior Justice Department official and FBI director from 2001 to 2013 — the longest tenure since J. Edgar Hoover’s. He was praised by former courtroom allies and opponents, and by Democrats and Republicans in Congress.

But at 73, Mueller has a record that shows a man of fallible judgment who can be slow to alter his chosen course.

  1. I think they know the investigation is falling apart and are trying to get ahead of it

    1. Damn, if I didn't think about the same earlier! I thought they could blame Mueller if he didn't find what they wanted.

  2. How is it that this man, Mueller, who was involved in approving the uranium deal with Russia come to investigate anything involving Russia? If he were as honorable as they suggest would than not mean he would have REFUSED the position when it was offered? Does the fact so many Washington insiders approved of his selection not set off alarms?

    Y'all have a nice day.
