I believe you are getting close to the truth. My concern is what was Mueller offered? He did some dasturdly things prior to the election and they are his faults.
My fear is RM forced unmasking out of RR to despoil $hitloads of evidence of deep state crime via fruit of poisonous tree laws.
His freedom ?
My theory on Mueller has meandered around. I thought he was a black hat for a long time, then I thought he was a leveraged black hat.
My top theory (not ruling out others) is that he may have been a white hat all along. Imagine if you were Mueller and in a position to see the evil that the DS was doing, but that you were being threatened. (I might be willing to give my life, but I would not be willing to give the lives of my children, and others I love.) What if the threat was a nuke on a major US city? Or something equally heinous. What would you do?
Maybe you would sit tight, follow orders, and gather info for the day when it could be used to bring down the DS.
I remember when conservatives were screaming for the generals and other officers to resign in protest over something 0vomit did. I could see how it was easy to jump onto that bandwagon. I didn’t and I was definitely in the minority. I said that if I were them, I would stay put because I wouldn’t want the entire military to be run by 0vomit’s handpicked generals.
So maybe it is a similar situation with Mueller and some other people that appear to be bad guys but actually were biding their time and doing the best they could under the circumstances. Maybe they have been playing the long game for a long time. When I think about how patient some of the Q team must have been for so long, it helps me to be a little more patient waiting for those perp walks. (But seriously, Q, any day now would be great!!)
What was Mueller offered? I tend to think he saw and got an opportunity to fix some things in his life. Yes...he’s done some very dishonorable things. In the case of Mueller, he was once a good guy but hanging around the sneaks and snakes succumbed to human frailty and caught a long term case of the DC flu. At 73 years old, one tends to take stock of mortality and just what in the hell you’ve contributed. This strange confluence of events provided him a chance to do a self restoration job. I think Trump appealed to Mueller’s higher character during that famous meeting. No doubt Trump was also fingering the “right bar” card in the form of a thick file compiled on Herr Mueller. Trust The Plan.
