Holy congressional probe, Robin!
Former FBI chief Robert Mueller is the hero America needs to investigate Russia’s meddling into the 2016 presidential election, his former second-in-charge said Sunday.
“A line in New York would be Batman’s back to save Gotham, but I think in this case, Batman is back to save America,” Timothy Murphy told John Catsimatidis during an interview on “The Cats Roundtable.”
Murphy served as the agency’s deputy director under Mueller, who was named as a special counsel in the investigation this week, following James Comey’s ouster as FBI director.
Murphy insisted any investigation headed by his old boss “is not going to be a witch hunt” because he is a man of “unquestionable integrity.”
He was careful to add that Comey is also a man of great integrity, but also that there was “a sigh of relief” at the FBI and among the public at large after Mueller was appointed to oversee the probe.
“To have someone come in and independently oversee this investigation was a brilliant move,” said Murphy, who worked at the FBI from 1988 to 2011.
Mueller led the FBI in the particularly tough years after 9/11, and is still highly respected as a tough but fair leader, Murphy said.
“I have already received a number of calls, resumes, a number of people volunteering to leave what they are currently doing to come be on Robert Mueller’s team,” he said.

He’ll be lucky to be deadpool, and that’s on a good day. More like Wile E. Coyote, or perhaps Elmer Fudd.
you mean the same guy who secretly delivered uranium to the russians (according to wikileakers) and muffed the Boston Marathon case...after Russia and the Saudis warned him?
He’s said to be a straight arrow, just like Comey.
More like RICOCHET Rabbit if you ask me, anything he hits will be by chance.
Oh please, Trump is saving America in spite of the scum trying to hurt America.
Depends on Tim Murphy’s profile...who is he and to what and whom is he aligned?
mueller is good buddies with comey. What about that??? Drain thew swamp< President Trump.
President Trump is busy SAVING America and MAGAgain,
while the treasonous scum in the MSM continue their
sedition.
The American People chose Pres. Trump, and should
boycott the MSM’s advertisers mercilessly
— just as in 1775.
Idiots.
At the same time, Trump may be trying to out-Obama Obama and out-Clinton Clinton.
How does he differ from Bush or Obama when he absolves Islam of any culpability in terrorism?
“This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations.
This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it.”
Same old same old.
THAT kind of "unquestionable integrity"??? Send that bastard Comey to PRISON on multiple counts of obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and concealing high crimes by numerous high profile Obama officials.
I would hope his investigative team will come from within the FBI - maybe the team already charged to do the job!!
They have been working the case since last July. The case should have been completed by now as they have found no evidence to go with. It obviously remains open only because of politics
Usually there is a period of time, maybe 30 days, to do a preliminary at which time your superior, the DOJ for the FBI, either extends the preliminary, grants a full blown investigation or closes it out.
Oh, I get it now!
After reading through your other posts, you’re clearly a Never-Trumper and you were just FLIRTING with me!
P*ss off.
Having Mueller investigate the “Russia” thing is like the FBI investigation the FBI? Maybe that’s not such a good idea.
More like he’ll save the Deep State from exposure. It’ll just be a dog and pony show as usual.
Mueller has been placed to take down Trump. That is what he will attempt to do. Hell take as long as he has to.
