Deep State Playbook: Comparing Plamegate and Russiagate The only “Mueller Report” that matters was not written by Robert Mueller III. It’s written about him, and his co-conspirators. Long before the Russiagate hoax began, the authors examined the Special Counsel methods of then FBI director Robert Mueller, former Deputy Attorney General James Comey, and once U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, before and during Plamegate. We found that all three acted with an intent to serve and protect the Deep State.
