Robert Mueller is supposed to be investigating Russian hackers who were spying on political emails during last year's election, but reporters with the Associated Press are doing a better job than he is.
The AP reported last week that the Russian hacking group Fancy Bear was spying on more than just political emails and FBI .leaders knew it. The FBI failed to warn the vast majority of hackers' targets that the Russians were reading their emails. The FBI allowed the Russians to spy on the emails of "the former head of cybersecurity for the U.S. Air Force. An ex-director at the National Security Council. A former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency." Targets included a manager working on the stealth fighter program.
Meanwhile Mueller was getting Michael Flynn to admit he lied to the FBI about a legitimate meeting with the Russian ambassador that occurred after the election. Having aides of the President-elect meet with foreign diplomats can prepare their government for any change in policy and help the incoming president avoid actions that might adversely affect relations between the countries.
The situation reminds me of an old Warner Brothers cartoon about a family of buzzards. The mother sends her children out to bring back some fresh meat. One brings back a horse. Another brings a cow. The younger one is shown flying along holding a bee in its talons and proudly singing: "'I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee. Won't my mommy be so proud of me." Last week the AP brought back a whale and Robert Mueller brought back a baby bumble bee,
Mueller has spent millions on what would be called a dry hole in Texas oil country. The Associated Press has brought in a gusher. The AP has discovered what may be the greatest act of espionage involving federal employees since the theft of atomic bomb secrets in the forties.
President Donald Trump should either replace Mueller's team with people who have never worked for the Justice Department or drop the investigation
What Trump is doing with the creep state is a better strategy. Rolling it up from the bottom.
Well, the Wall Street Journal editorial board just ripped mueller a new one....
No. That would give them the demagoguery opportunity they are looking for. It’s what the entire special counsel is about.
Mueller has very bad conflicts which destroy any credibility to the collusion investigation.he also but be did barred.

I agree with you.
It’s frustrating to watch but I think Trump is giving Mueller the rope to hang himself.

Too late to fire Mueller now. If Trump were ever inclined to fire Mueller, this should have been done within the first month of his appointment, followed by firing J. Sessions or at very least ‘reassigning him’ where he would do less harm to the presidency. Better now to construct a good defensive team ready to respond to allegations that will be coming soon.
Nope. Trump should keep on keepin' on, since he knows there's nothing to find, and only refer obliquely to the witch hunt by referring to it as a witch hunt, not naming Mueller until it's time to start ridiculing him, which will be sometime next year. Mueller will eventually have to stop because he'll run out of stupid crap to "investigate", Trump will have an entirely clean bill of health, no one will be able to complain that there wasn't a thorough investigation or that there was stonewalling, and during the 2018 campaign, Trump can make campaign appearances for favored candidates in important races. Mueller meanwhile will fade out like a bad fart. Thanks kathsua.
Firing Mueller would make him a martyr for the cause. Better to let him toil away and end up delivering a dried corn cob with one kernel on it.
Then Mueller and the Dems can feel the shame like Icy Hot inside their underwear.
.....what?

All Righty Then. This janitor is better off scrubbing toilets than projecting political thoughts like this.
Come just lost his immunity deal and MSM has started calling for the firing of Mueller. I think Trump or his team are not who is in trouble.
Comey
My thoughts also, and I have said so to others.
Give them all enough rope to hang themselves-—and in the midst of all of the hooooraah, it comes out that Obama, McMasters, and the NSA REALLY were spying on Trump & did intercept calls from Trump Towers.
This mess has also flushed out other problems, and media/entertainment/& political figures are gone......
More flushing will continue, I hope & meanwhile, Uranium One & other Clinton criminal acts are getting more spotlights .....
No. Firing the special prosecutor plays poorly. Let Mueller fail, then move on.
Up until about a month ago I was hoping that Mueller was on our side but now I don’t think so.
Now I think it’s possible Mueller is trying to squirm his way out of the hole he’s dug for himself. Either that or he continues the sickening charade or he finds a reason to shut down.
I like your analysis.
“President Trump Should Fire Incompetent Mueller”
Of course Mueller should have been fired awhile ago, but it’s like whistling in the wind.
