Legal Notice: Proudly Announcing The Newly-Formed Law Firm of Mueller & Comey. We Specialize In Bungling Cases, Ignoring Legal Standards, And Bringing Down Presidents.
I have not yet received the announcement in the mail. But I expect it will arrive any day now.
After all, Robert Mueller and James Comey appear to be acting in concert as co-special counsel. Why not make it official with a formal notice of their union?
It was obvious it would evolve this way from the very moment Mueller was named on May 17th.
Which is why I wrote a column two days later, arguing that Mueller should resign as special counsel. He has a flagrant conflict of interest that disqualifies him from serving. To wit, his personal and professional closeness to Comey. They have long been allies. Comey regards his predecessor at the FBI as a mentor, while Mueller considers Comey his protégé.
It was evident at the outset that the fired FBI Director would be the pivotal witness in any potential obstruction of justice investigation by Mueller. Therefore, it was incomprehensible that Rod Rosenstein, the Acting Attorney General, would choose him. It was equally baffling that Mueller would accept the position.
I remember reacting to the news with the words, are you kidding? Turns out, it was no joke.

Keeping the public in the dark until midterms was the plan but it got messed up.....
They are back on target now, Mueller will stretch this out and decimate what is left of Trump’s reputation right prior to midterms. Take the House, impeach, that seems to be the plan.
Ryan and McConnell will stand by and do nothing.
We need a new plan!
There is reasonable suspicion that Comey may be leaking classified information. Get a warrant, and put him under surveillance.
Rosenstein was an Obama holdover as US attorney who Trump not only didn’t fire—but he promoted to the #2 man at the FBI. And IIRC after Sessions had already recused himself on the Russia issue. What was he thinking? Whose bad advice was he taking?
PING!!!
Article and comments - many great comments
Thanks, jazusamo
We are getting close for Trump to dismiss Meuller if he is acting this stupid.
Mueller involved in the clinton cash for uranium deal?
Who did Mueller HIRE??
+1 to your post.
Mueller has a choice now. Do a serious investigation, including Comey’s role, or step into another Trump mousetrap.
Can anyone explain to my why the FBI director is also a lawyer instead of police?
I have met quite a few FBI SSA’s and they’re all lawyers too. None of them have been police officers....ever.
They chose Mueller before Comey was fired. Why?
We need leaders like Trump with BALLS!!
I won't argue with that!!!
. . . on the fatuous grounds that Comey might in the future have to investigate Trump.Which is the very definition of a fishing expedition.
I made a note at work today asking myself the question: How is Trump going to take down Mueller? drain another major player in the swamp.
Duh. Yes. From before the beginning.
Police Officers don’t have an education requirement. At least in the past. Nowadays they do have some requirements such as State Police need a BS. Some Police need an Assoc. degree to make ranks. Why would someone want to be a Police Officer rather than go directly to the FBI. Pay varies but some police start at 30K. I doubt anyone with a BS or more would surrender that easily.
The FBI used to take Lawyers, specifically. Then they opened it up for accountants and Engineers. Fbi does many white colllar crimes such as the S&L debacle. engineers are required in terror cases. Now the FBI is open to many professions. They also have to comply with all employment regulations and equal opportunity.
I am not knocking Police. The best of Police get training at the FBI. FBI has many lawyers. They can demand higher pay. It isn’t real hard to go to Law School and get a degree. The only issue is money. Think about the thousands of lawyers added to each State each year. Can’t be that hard. Party for 4 years at college and then 3 years Law. Look what we get these days. Comey?
You are right...because of appearances, Trump cannot fire Mueller...but he can replace him.
maybe plinking thru the swamp rats. Setup up in position of authority, observe leaks, follow leaks, find turd, Flush turd. Next?
or he can let him leak, trace leak to turd and then flush turd.
