Another key part of this theory seemed to fall apart last night as I was debating one of its proponents. The key claim is that Mueller has been working for Trump, all along, and that when Trump was interviewing Mueller as a possible FBI replacement for Comey, it was actually an interview for the soon to be created Special Counsel position.
The linchpin of this supposed theory is that Mueller was ineligible to be FBI director, because there is a rule that FBI directors can only be appointed for a single ten year term. Per their claim this meant that there was no way possible that Trump was actually interviewing him for FBI director.
So I spent 10 seconds searching the internet for Mueller and ten year term, and one of the very first hits was an article from back during Obama’s term, saying that Obama was soooo very happy with Mueller as his FBI director, he had asked the Senate that Mueller be allowed to extend his term beyond the normal 10 year limit, and it was approved!
This shows several things of course, but 2 things immediately stick out to me. Number 1, these guys peddling this “Mueller is a great guy” theory as I like to call it, aren’t doing a dime’s worth of research on their own. They’re just taking whatever someone is giving them and then blindly insisting it is true, when time after time each individual part can be fairly easily disproven.
Second, it completely blows up the whole undermining of their argument, that Mueller was a great guy, and really did want to do the right thing all those years under Obama, but he was forced to go along with Holder and Obama’s agenda. BS! He would have never agreed to be extended beyond the supposed maximum term.
How great is it that Muller was in on the U1 deal and us supposedly investigating that very thing LOL Muller thought he could sit there and gatekeep and we would never know, HA Muller is in twice the trouble hellary is I LOVE IT, remember new FBI director Christopher Wray us the fox in the hen house.

I could not agree with you more. An excellent example of what you speak of when you say that some folks just take what some guys comments without any research or analysis is the cultlike comments over at Conservative Treehouse. Their own small bubble has them all convinced of their current party line. Dissenters are pretty promptly kicked off the board as “trolls”. As a result they get almost unanimous opinion, regardless of how improbable and absurd it sounds. What is funny is the next week all the prior dissenters opinions now become the new party line.
