We view the Mueller investigation as an epic failure and scam.
However, if the goal was to drag out the Russian collusion delusion, hurt Trump and hinder his administration, silence Flynn, and impact the 2018 election they succeeded by any measure.
They told us the goal was to investigate Russian interference in our election. While I am highly skeptical this occurred, the one thing we know for a fact is that the DNC solicited and paid for disinformation from Russians and injected it into the election, transition, and used it to damage the Trump administration.
Yet, the special counsel NEVER looked into it. Therefore, the only logical conclusion can be that their real goal was different and entirely partisan, which defeats the entire argument to appoint a special counsel in the first place (i.e. - it is supposed to be non-partisan because the DOJ is susceptible to being called partisan by the other side).
They easily sidelined Sessions because he met with the Russian ambassador (along with everyone else with a pulse in DC) yet the man who actually signed one of the FISA warrants against the Trump campaign was not conflicted and he was allowed to select, appoint, and administer the special counsel investigation?
It is crazy.
He never looked into it because he knew it was a hoax from the beginning. The Mueller team gave Rod Rosenstein a "wish list" of things they wanted to investigate, and he willingly re-wrote the scope memo to include all those things they asked for. They knew they couldn't prove Russian collusion, so they went after a group of people with the hope they'd be able to find something to hang Trump with. This whole hoax was also fueled by Obama's desire to keep his Iran deal in place. He knew Flynn was against it, and with his being chosen as Trump's National Security Advisor, there was a good chance the whole deal, which Obama considered his legacy, was going to be eliminated. It's why he spied on everyone, because he wanted to be able to track the people who were against it. And Obama being the narcissist he is, he couldn't stop with just spying on Congress members, and reporters, he extended his spying to world leaders, and then to the Trump campaign. Obama let his nosiness get out of control, and it's all coming out now.
