Robert Mueller: The 'Clown Prince' Of Federal Law Enforcement
The Federalist ^ | May 14 , 2018 | By John Dellaportas

Posted on 05/14/2018 2:42:26 PM PDT by ethom

Other than the president himself, perhaps no public figure is more debated and discussed these days than Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

As Alan Dershowitz recalled on “The Cats Roundtable” podcast, Muller is “the guy who kept four innocent people in prison for many years in order to protect the cover of Whitey Bulger as an FBI informer.

… And that’s regarded in Boston of one of the great scandals of modern judicial history. And Mueller was right at the center of it.”

Others have said the charges are unfounded. Whatever the truth, the Bulger affair did not hold him back.

Whatever the truth, the Bulger affair did not hold him back.

Post-Boston, Mueller entered the revolving-door world of federal prosecutors and Big Law, bouncing around in various roles until, in 2001, he landed the job of a lifetime: director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. His ascendancy did not come without words of warning. Time magazine quoted one former prosecutor, anonymously: “The cynics are saying, let him take over the FBI, it’ll be great theater, and he’ll run it into the ground in six months.” The former prosecutor was wrong. It only took Mueller one week.

He’s just another corrupt hit man.

That’s all he’s ever done.

And it’s all he’s ever known.

What to make of Mueller? I respect him for volunteering for Vietnam, even though many privileged children of America’s elites found their way out in various ways. doing so didn’t seem to hurt many political careers either.

After that, Mueller became a bureaucrat and creature of the DC Swamp. Is he an active participant in the Deep State’s clearly attempted Coup on Trump and attempted reversal of a US Presidential election? Or is he just a very stupid dupe who can’t see what’s going on? (that’s a rhetorical question )

What a cv - thats a damning article - it appears he is quite a cop with the perp before when he had a crime, but not this time, there is no crime and he can’t let go of the Lions tail.

“Muller is “the guy who kept four innocent people in prison for many years in order to protect the cover of Whitey Bulger as an FBI informer.”

I think two of them died in prison and were exonerated posthumously.

So sick of the MSM saying he is a Republican to give this evil prick legitimacy and cover. Just like McTraitor.

Why on earth would Muller ever even be considered for FBI head? Did Bush put him up for it and why on earth was he confirmed? We have total idiots running our country

Drudge has a report about Mule and a Russian Oligarch. Can you say, “Conflict of interest?”

One week after the 9/11 attacks, letters with anthrax were mailed to various media outlets and the offices of two U.S. senators, killing five and infecting 17 others. Coming as soon as it did after 9/11, hysteria naturally ensued. This was Mueller’s first true test as FBI director. The results were not pretty. As Mollie Hemingway noted, Mueller “completely botch[ed] the anthrax killer case, wasting more than $100 million in taxpayer dollars, destroying the lives of multiple suspects, and chasing bad leads using bad methods.”

Mueller may be the most incompetent, arrogant, and costly boob in FBI history. He’s gone from one disaster to another, always costing the taxpayer millions.

He is a monster, too stupid even to know how evil he is.

The only reason that scumbag is registered Republican is because they believe they can do the most damage that way.

I have posted it before: Mueller is the Witch King of Andor! When the power of the One Ring is gone Mueller will cease to function. Middle America can return to pursuing peace.

Calling him a ‘Clown Prince’ assumes he’s funny. He’s not. He’s an ignorant, anal-retentive egomaniac whose fifteen minutes were over a year ago. He’s wasting massive amounts of Americans’ time and money for his own self-glorification.

The author claims that Mueller is just a dunce, blah, blah, blah. He's not malevolent or politically corrupt, blah, blah, blah. He's just inept.

Total crap.

The Democrats NEVER make political mistakes with their senior executive appointments.

Every Democrat in the Senate voted to re-confirm Mueller when Obama asked for a two year extension of Mueller's term.

Are Conservatives really supposed to believe that two Obama appointees - Rosenstein and Mueller - just accidentally hired 16 Democrat lawyers to investigate Trump?

Hear a lie long enough and you begin to think it’s true.

Mueller is a moral, competent, law abiding many of integrity.

Yeah, not so much.

As traitors from Benedict Arnold to John McCain have demonstrated, military service - even distinguished service - is no guarantee that the person won’t end up a bona fide traitor in the strictest sense of the term.

That alone, should disqualify Mueller.

At the very least. Frankly, it’s criminal. /Captain Obvious

Really, why? How is he any different from the repubs in the house and senate? You really believe their hands are clean in this?
