How long was this dolt a regular fbi thug before he became head thug? Do you know?
Easily found out, straight from the horse's mouth.
Robert S. Mueller, III
In part...On July 5, 2001 the President nominated Robert S. Mueller to be the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Recently, he served as the Acting Deputy Attorney General for the Department of Justice from January through May 2001. On October 7, 1999, Robert Mueller was confirmed by the Senate as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California in San Francisco. Prior to joining the Northern District of California in 1998, Mr. Mueller was Chief of the Homicide Section of the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Colombia where he had served since 1995 as Senior Litigation Counsel in the Homicide Section until assuming the position as Chief in 1997.
In 1990, Mr. Mueller was named Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice by former President Bush and was responsible for developing and supervising the enforcement of federal criminal law. He supervised the Noriega and Gotti prosecutions, the Pan Am 103 investigation and helped develop the Justice Department's policies on corporate sentencing guidelines, computer crime investigations, and health care and money laundering prosecutions.
Prior to assuming the position of Assistant Attorney General, Mr. Mueller was an assistant to Attorney General Richard Thornburgh in the Department of Justice, and from 1986 to 1987 he served as United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.

Mr. Mueller has held various positions as a prosecutor and supervisor and has also had experience in the private practice of law.

I think there are a few more things not mentioned too.

Probably some more out there as to specific cases. I'll look into it some if you would like.

A less than cheerful depiction...New FBI Head Is Old Bush Cover-Up Man
In part...Under Thornburgh's patronage, Mueller quickly advanced to the post of assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's criminal division where he directed the Noriega, BCCI and Pan Am Flight 103 cases. Thornburgh has said that he relied upon Mueller to handle some of what Thornburgh described as the department's most "delicate" tasks.
It should be noted, for the record, that Mueller was quite vocal in criticizing members of Congress who had dared to raise questions about the propriety of actions by the FBI and federal marshals in the siege at Ruby Ridge where the wife, son and family dog of Randy Weaver were ruthlessly gunned down.
The record also shows that Mueller has a certain disregard for the constitutional rights of persons accused of crimes. As U.S. attorney in San Francisco, Mueller actively urged prosecutors to push defendants who pleaded guilty in plea bargains to waive their so-called "Brady Rights" which require government lawyers to divulge any evidence that could indicate a defendant's innocence. In short, Mueller is very much one inclined toward the "police-state" frame of mind.

That Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) joined in the chorus of cheerleaders hailing Mueller's selection, is no surprise. Hatch-who never met a federal law enforcement official he didn't absolutely love-has been a tried-and-true friend of every federal law enforcement appointee, including Janet Reno, ever since he was implicated in the BCCI scandal-ostensibly "investigated" by Mueller himself-but escaped indictment.

And glowing praise...
Mueller Nominated to Be FBI Director
In part...When Mueller was a prosecutor in Washington, D.C., he worked with his friend, Eric Holder, who later became deputy attorney general under Janet Reno.
Holder named Mueller the interim U.S. attorney, and the Republican prosecutor quickly won over the state's two Democratic senators. In doing so, Mueller cemented his reputation as a top prosecutor and established ties on both sides of the political aisle.
Snip...Holder also said there's more to Mueller than his stoic image might suggest, which he saw while the two were working in one of the most violent districts in the country.
"I saw him interact with poor African- Americans here in D.C. I saw a side of him I don't think many people see ... a sensitive side."
Snip...Respect for Mueller is found throughout the defense community. Solo Jerrold Ladar credits the office's record-keeping with aiding in the discovery that a defendant in a high-profile case had suffered from a previously unknown medical condition.
In 1998, the office brought 672 cases and took 32 to trial. Last year, Mueller's second year at the helm, those numbers doubled to 1,253 and 59, respectively.
The amount of civil and criminal penalties recovered increased from $7 million to $208 million, due in large part to a $170 million health-care fraud settlement with Beverly Enterprises Inc.
