I think you nailed it. I too believe Mueller will do the right thing even though that is not being very realistic given the circumstances of the day. I would much rather be an optimist for sure. If I was aware that a friend of mine committed a crime I would certainly advise him to come clean and failing that would not jeopardize my reputation for him.
The fact that Mueller didn’t recuse himself does trouble me a bit BUT maybe Comey isn’t that good a friend and he has more respect for the FBI which Comey doesn’t.
To HIDE the TRUTH, it is only necessary to fix the investigation so that a gubermint scam known as a Commission, or an independent counsel or a special prosecutor (whatever) puts some BS in the headlines to hide the truth.
This is about the survival of the DEMONRAT Party. Expect some big lies to be told so that the MSM can continue to lie to hide the real stories.
It wasn't so long ago there were stories floated about what a great guy Come(d)y is. You see how that turned out. I will not be surprised if Mueller sells his soul too to save the RATS.
