He was a deputy AG (IIRC) in San Francisco and one particular case came up.
David Asimov (son of Issac) was arrested in 1998 on charges of possession and distribution of child pornography. Thousands of tapes were confiscated, and it looked open and shut no matter how his attorney and the media downplayed it. The original judge held him on $250,000 bond.
Mueller got involved and pulled the case from the local DA. Asimov was eventually released at Muellers' recommendation, since he hadn't been in trouble before. In just a couple of months the entire case was forgotten and Asimov was free to continue his activities. This continued a pattern where Mueller would go easy on flawed guys; then take advantage of them or keep them for future use. Mueller was crooked back then and is crooked now.
Just a tidbit from the original DA on the case:
Based on the strength of that evidence, and store records showing Asimov to be the owner of the computer, the police were able to obtain a search warrant for his home, Zamudio explained. Police then proceeded to Asimov's four-bedroom house, expecting to find a rather small cache.
"We thought we'd discover some floppy discs, maybe a few pictures," Zamudio said.
Instead, they found what Medvigy called a "processing center" for child pornography. In addition to the videotapes and computer disks recovered, police reportedly found videocameras, several VCRs, and editing equipment.
"He had a whole lot of editing and mass production capabilities," Zamudio said. "We were greeted by thousands of tapes, disks, periodicals, and commercial videos with covers showing child pornography. We spent two days collecting, packaging, and transporting all the items."
From $250,000 bail to released on a six month home detention sentence. That is who Mueller really is.
Here are links to those that may want to follow the case as it evolved back then.

David Asimov passed away on Nov 11, 2021. Many suspect that Mueller continues to serve as predator in chief.

Thanks for the additional information on the David Asimov case. Since this thread was originally posted, I have been looking into the FBI’s investigation of Isaac Asimov (ROBPROF) and I’m wondering if it influenced how Mueller handled David’s case:
