If Mueller Wasn’t in Charge, Who Was? A rundown of the possibilities and why they matter
American Thinker ^ | 07/29/2019 | Brian Joondeph

Special Counsel Robert Mueller had a bad day last week. The build-up to his congressional testimony rivaled that of Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone’s vault. Endless fanfare and hype, but both Mueller and the vault were empty, devoid of treasure, or any smoking gun.

At one level, Mueller is a sad figure, a doddering old man, looking foolish on an international stage, after being praised for two years for his legal acumen and integrity.

Was his performance genuine or contrived? Was he trying to salvage his reputation as a card-carrying deep-state elitist by playing a sympathetic old man being badgered by nasty Republicans? Did Democrats throw him under the bus in their unending quest to nullify the 2016 election, regardless of the personal toll on him and his family?

It’s clear he was not in charge of his own investigation. He not only didn’t write the report, which bears his name, but it’s uncertain if he even read it. If he did, he was certainly unfamiliar with the basics of the investigation. Anyone who listens to conservative talk radio or watches any of the Fox News opinion shows knew far more about the “Mueller Report” than its namesake.

Mueller seems to know only what he read in the New York Times or Washington Post, or watched on CNN, understanding little more about the investigation than the average low-information Democrat voter.

Most readers of American Thinker know what Fusion GPS is and the role it played in the Russian collusion hoax. Or who some of the key players are including Christopher Steele, Glenn Simpson and Natalia Veselnitskaya. The former FBI director did not and could only say, “I’m not familiar with that.”

If Robert Mueller wasn’t in charge of the “Mueller investigation,” who was?

Was he? What about the Clintons? The Obamas? The Clinton and Obama Protection Corps (big media)?

All I’d ask then, if it is possible, post the ENTIRE article here on Free Republic. It’s not just about blog pimps.

Some sites really kill a browser experience with popups, ads and other embedded crap.

The best* thing about Free Republic; very simple, absolutely no ads.

There is no rule that the excerpt has to start at the beginning of the article. If it’s one of these rambling introductions, the poster might want to excerpt a few paragraphs in the middle instead.

That’s true unless they check the “This is an excerpt” box; then it just grabs the first 300 words or so, I believe.

He’s not a blithering idiot. He knew damn good and well who they were and what they were about - it’s impossible to come up with a group of people that biased under random selection from within the DoJ.

Yep.

for his thirty pieces of silver

Was Rosenstein a bad actor in all of this or did he play his role in Trump’s grander plan to drain the swamp and weed out the deep state conspirators?

I suspect Rosy filled both roles though the second unwittingly.

We all know Weissman.

But who said Mueller wasn’t in charge? If he was this out of it, CNN would have been wringing their hands and crying to the heavens about whatever should we do. If he were the doddering old confused fool he portrayed himself to be, the D’s would have pounced on it months ago in order to drag this fiasco on longer by appointing someone new who had to have an extra six months to get up to speed.
