From A Legal Perspective, Mueller’s Investigation Is Dead. Here’s Why
The Daily Caller ^ | December 7,2017 | Nick James

Significantly, the fatal damage done to Mueller’s anti-Trump investigation does not only rest in the fact that defense counsel will be able to conduct an unlubricated prostate examination on the FBI’s key agent at trial. Instead, the real reason why Mueller will not risk a criminal trial is the lasting damage that would be done to the FBI’s reputation by having Strzok’s baggage brought into the daylight.

To expose the agent’s biases, defense counsel would have the opportunity to cross-examine the agent and his apparent mistress, an FBI lawyer who also worked on Mueller’s investigation and the Clinton email probe, about their exchanged messages showing support for Clinton and hostility to Trump.

Why would Mueller care about the damage to the FBI?

I think the deep state would happily sacrifice the FBI if it meant they could take out Trump.

That’s a point worth thinking about. Mueller might only care about the FBI’s reputation if were to be seen that it was he who indelibly damaged it. He’d worry about his reputation, not the FBI’s, being hurt.

Mueller is one of the FBI's Janus faces.

Others are going to intervene with Frau Mueller and they will not be nice.

This author thinks an investigator’s bias is going to stop a prosecutor?
In these United State?

Maybe this guy can “think” me up a blue sunrise tomorrow.

In this context, “Comedy” might not be inappropriate.

Probably, the folks at the FBI wouldn't like that. ;-)
