There’s not much to wait and see. If Mueller were a man of integrity, he’d never have taken the job. He is not merely friends with Comey, but “close,” friends. That is as textbook a case of conflict of interest as it’s possible to have.
There’s no getting around it; the very fact that Mueller accepted the job means he has an agenda. You can take it to the bank the agenda isn’t to harm his good friend. Rather, he’ll try to make Comey look good by casting as many aspersions on Trump as he can. He may well try to snare an underling in a process crime. Whatever he does, it will be to hurt Trump and validate Comey.
They’re all dirty in DC. Trump is singlehandedly trying to drain the swamp. It’s a Herculean task at a minimum. I support him all the way.
[This particular article uses the term, “relationship.” There were at least half a dozen others that used the term, “friend.” If you don’t believe me, do a search for yourself.]
‘Robert Mueller has a serious conflict of interest that should disqualify him from serving as special counsel.
He has had a long and close relationship with someone who will surely become a pivotal witness –James Comey.

‘How can Americans have confidence in the results if they know the special counsel may harbor a conspicuous bias? They cannot. The conflict inevitably discredits whatever conclusion is reached. It renders the entire investigatory exercise suspect, and it only elevates the controversy surrounding it.
For this reason, Mueller should not serve as special counsel.’
Even if all you say is true about Mueller and Comey, it still boils down to what Mueller can or cannot cobble together with his investigation and the subsequent indictments, if any.
Let me clarity my earlier reply: Even if all you say is true about Mueller and Comey, it still boils down to what Mueller can or cannot cobble together with his investigation and the subsequent indictments, if any, and the effectiveness of them if he does issue them.
