Just a reminder to all -- Director Mueller was nominated on 6 JUl 2001, confirmed in August, and took over as Director of the FBI on 4 September exactly seven days before 9/11.

Okay, but if we are in the 'reminding' business, here is an interesting tidbit from July 20, 2001, almost a year ago

Department sources say Radek owes his position as chief of the Public Integrity Section – the highly sensitive office charged with investigating public corruption – to Mueller.

Mueller ran Justice's criminal division under the last Bush administration and drew fire for being too lax in probing the BCCI banking scandal. It was under Mueller that Radek, then deputy chief of the unit, became a section chief for the first time.

Prove anything? No, but interesting. Just a dot that might connect elsewhere sometime.
