cynwoody: Robert Mueller has a long and sordid history of illicitly targeting innocent people [noun phrase 1], a stain upon the legacy of American jurisprudence [noun phrase 1]!

I don't like appositions. Let me therefore weigh in with my own modest proposal:

Robert Mueller's long and sordid history of illicitly targeting innocent people is a stain upon the legacy of American jurisprudence!

This is demonstrably the syntactically simplest, most-concise solution so far.

It has the added charm that it takes "his long and sordid history" as a given - i.e., it is implied, rather than claimed (and their more difficult to refute).

Serves me for trying to eat a peanut butter and honey sandwich and type at the same time.
