Who is Robert Mueller?
Very impressive credentials!
And he's hardly a Bernie Sanders-type left-winger/Socialist:
He is a Republican , appointed by a Republican:
A Republican , he was appointed by President George W. Bush. (Link)
And a decorated officer in the Marine corp:
Mueller served as a Marine Corps officer during the Vietnam War , receiving the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V" for heroism and the Purple Heart Medal .
In this age of sleazy politicians he is an honorable man of high principles....
(Lots of fascinating details in the linked article)
Mueller is widely seen as a nonpolitical, dogged investigator, respected on both sides of the aisle. The extension of his term passed the Senate 100-0, and he was also initially confirmed in 2001 unanimously, 98-0.
I don't think anybody has questioned Mueller's integrity, though those questions have arisen over individuals within the FBI & DOJ (as well as others who have recently left).
I have said over & over that I reserve judgement on Mueller. Like everyone else I await the conclusion of this long investigation into everything Russian & "everything that arises out of it", except for abuses by the FBI & DOJ.
I have clipped this seed of yours and I will save it for the day the investigation ends.
I want to see how you & others view Mueller then.
Well, if he is fair and honest, then Trump has nothing to worry about.
True. My guess, based on the sort of person he is, is that he will be extremely fair and honest.
In fact, if indeed Trump has not done anything wrong-- he should welcome this investigation, as it would totally clear his name once and for all.
Mueller is a Republican.
He was appointed by . . . a Republican.
And he's a decorated officer in the Marine corps:
Mueller served as a Marine Corps officer during the Vietnam War , receiving the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V" for heroism and the Purple Heart Medal .
In this age of sleazy politicians he is an honorable man of high principle-- the type of person who is all too rare in Washington today!
All the man had to do was say, "Bring it." That is what an innocent man would have said, and all of this bullshit would have been over before it started. Trump did exactly what any other guilty man would have done. Well, what any other really stupid guilty man would have done...
Yes he is, and he isn't someone that I would want investigating me.
Exactly.
In addition to being a man of honor and high principles-- he is really, really good at what he does. Definitely one of the best.
(After after seeing the actual results he's produced so far-- indictments he's made so far-- as well as actual guilty pleas-- that's becoming more and more obvious by the day . . . this is definitely no "witch-hunt")
Will you be so lavish in your praise if, I mean when, he clears Trump.
Yes.
But why are you so sure he will clear Trump-- do you have a reasn to back that up?
Are you privy to some secret information from Mueller or his staff?
I wouldn't mind reading the answer to that, myself.
Of course I would. Why would you think that I wouldn't, not everyone is a blind partisian like some on the right....If you have some inside information, or consider yourself the ''Great Karnac'' please share the infromation with us. It should be quite enlighting.
I admit I won't be. I'll just go sit in the corner and lick my wounds.
Well, y'all have been saying that Trump is guilty based on no apparent evidence. Are you saying you're not a left wing partisan?? All I'm saying is that Mueller won't be a hero of the left if he comes back with no case on:
Trump.....anyone in his family.....or any of his advisors....or anyone else in his administration.
Flynn already plead guilty.
I'm not sure who ''y'all'' is, but if you can find comments by me saying that Trump is guilty feel free to post them. No, I'm not a left wing partisan, but I am a democart. There is a difference.
Are you saying that your not a right wing paritisan?
Innocent men don't do this.
Then why'd Trump fire Preet Bharara?
Then why'd Trump fire Comey?
Then why'd Trump try to fire Mueller?
Then why's Trump so upset that Sessions recused himself?
Who is Robert Mueller? He's simply the best.
If I were guilty It would terrify the hell out of me to have him coming after me. You know they say that during this investigation he lets a few members of his prosecution team do most of the questioning while he sits behind the two way mirror and watches. Then, when he thinks it's just the right time he slips into the dim back of the room, making just enough noise so the person that is being questioned knows he is there, sits down in a hard backed chair and leans it back against the far back wall and watches, staring at the witness. Then, every once in awhile he quietly asks a question or two. Lets the prosecution team ask several more while he keeps staring directly into the witness' eyes. Asks a few more himself. Then just as quietly slips back out. Sometimes he repeats this a few times. Sometimes several times. Take a long look at Robert Mueller and tell me that if you were guilty of something that wouldn't just make you nuts! Hell if I was completely innocent I'd confess to kidnapping the Lindbergh baby!
he is really, really good at what he does. Definitely one of the best.
cough, Anthrax Investigation, cough
You really ought to see a Doctor!!!
Doctor of psychiatry.
Mueller may well be the last decent government official left. Honestly, Mueller for President 2020. As a liberal, I would trust him (a Republican) as president over anyone else.
I have admired Robert Mueller for many years, even though he is a Republican. When Bush appointed him as Director of the FBI just before 9-11 I told my wife that this is just who we need to lead the Agency. Yes he is a Republican, but there will never be anyone of any Party who will ever get him to follow what they think, do or say. Robert Mueller is a man of rock, solid honesty and unquestionable integrity. So when I heard that Rod Rosenstein was going to be the one to appoint a Special Counsel, these many years later I admit I was stumped. I was hoping and hoping and trying to come up with who would I pick, who was the unquestionable BEST and then when I heard it was going to be Robert Mueller I thought "Of Course!" There could not possibly be a more perfect pick! From his history before being at the FBI to his grooming James Comey to succeed him there, in his jobs as Federal Prosecutor before and since, to a distinguished career in private practice, I can not think of one single person in my entire life (and I'm 61) who is more qualified then Robert Mueller. There may be people who, for their own political reasons, may not agree with the conclusions he comes up with, but I challenge any American, myself included, who will ever be able to say that he did not arrive at those conclusions honestly, fairly, without enough forethought, with no bias whatsoever and with no prejudices toward or for any person. He is probably the only single person in America that, if he comes back and says that Donald Trump is completely innocent, that I will be able to accept that judgement from with no question at all. I hate Donald Trump, but I believe in Robert Mueller that much.
Mueller for President 2020. He would have my vote based on reputation alone. Ever notice how conservatives are reluctant to launch their usual attack against him?
I'm a dyed in the wool liberal, but I'd vote for him. I think he is what every real American is looking for. An honest President. I think that Obama was an honest President and I think that Gerald Ford was too. I voted for both of them.
I would vote for him in a heartbeat even over Bernie Sanders. I like Sanders, don't get me wrong, but Mueller is the type of guy who truly has put country above self throughout his life. I absolutely trust that he his sincere, honest, and has the best interests of the country at heart. I feel like he could bring a sense of decency back to the Executive and Legislative branches.
This bears repeating.
In today's environment where politicians put their careers, their party, and their wallets above their country. Democrats and Republicans alike, Democrats just don't do it as obviously and to such extremes.
Let's pull an Eisenhower, FORCE Mueller to be president.
