'America's straightest arrow': Robert Mueller silent as urgency mounts

While Mueller has cast a shadow over Trump for 18 months now, he has been almost entirely silent since he was brought out of retirement as a special counsel tasked with picking up the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US election, and “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump”.

The word integrity seems to be almost sewn into the fabric of his pin-striped suits. “It’s why [Deputy Attorney General] Rod Rosenstein brought him into this role of special counsel,” Graff said, “because he is probably the one person in Washington that you could never accuse of having a partisan agenda – he’s always seen things with a very strong moral compass, instilled in him by his father, and really sees the world with a pretty black and white, right or wrong vision.”

Right. Mueller has drawn five cards which have never even been in the same room together, but somehow he has to make these dogs look like horses.

He’s quiet because he is busy trying to make pieces of nothing look like something.

They got a bit of whitewash on you there, Bob.

Mueller was in on the Uranium One deal. He is a liar, a cheat, and a big time crook.

Straight arrow, my ass. This moron couldn’t find his own behind with both hands...in Timesquare...at high noon...with pre printed instructions.

Pathetic hack.

"Mueller was in on the Uranium One deal. He is a liar, a cheat, and a big time crook."

I believe he and his pal Comey pulled some fast deals using their insider connections to rake in Millions consulting for Boeing and defense contractors working on foreign projects.

"... his 14 Lawyer group is getting a minimum of $600,00 an hour up to $900.00 an hour and the U.S. Taxpayers continue to Bank roll their nonsense."

His whole team is old pals who played the lobbyist game with him.

Robert Mueller left a $3.4 million partner job in the white-shoe law firm WilmerHale, where he worked for clients such as Facebook, Apple, Sony and the NFL, to serve as the special counsel.

Documents show that several lawyers on the team, particularly those who came from the private sector, left behind substantial salaries to work on the Russia case. James Quarles, who left WilmerHale with Mueller, drew more than $5.8 million from his partnership there. Jeannie Rhee, another partner, drew more than $2 million, and Aaron Zebley, who was Mueller's chief of staff at the FBI and also worked with him at WilmerHale, drew more than $1.4 million.

Thanks for that link. I’m surprised I missed it.

“Robert Mueller left a $3.4 million partner job in the white-shoe law firm WilmerHale”

What does he do that’s worth that kind of money?

[Uncle Miltie]

Feed at the trough.

The truth is he doesn’t have a squeaky clean reputation, in fact the opposite is true.

What we’re seeing is pure Soviet style propaganda in an attempt to coverup just how corrupt the DOJ and FBI really are.

[escapefromboston]

Even the most cursory look at Mueller’s professional history shows him as being incompetent and/or corrupt. Not really sure who they are trying to fool with this article.

[enumerated]

I don’t think a barf alert was necessary in this case.

The title calls Mueller “America’s Straightest Arrow”, thus honestly representing the absurdity of article. That was like a built-in barf alert and spared me from having to read the article.

Oh, think "Partisan hack" is sewn in his suits.

[Jacquerie]

I recall Louie’s recent paper and reread about half of it at your link. Chilling.

It makes me wonder why I still bother to vote.

[gogeo]

Steaming pile.

Partner, this tells us that they are being well paid for this case going nowhere since there is no Russian Collusion by President Trump or any folks in his administration. Rod Rosenstein knows this and yet he hired unscrupulous Mueller for this investigation and then Rosenstein approves of the hiring of his team of DemonRat Lawyers.

Thanks for the info. on this team and on the main culprit which is Mueller himself. He does not care that we are spending that much money on this idiot. Mueller used to be a Marine and that boggles the mind that he is a liberal, but I have found other friends of mine who are liberal and former Marines but very few of them are liberal.
