Before I start this thread, I repeat what I said when Mueller was appointed: he was a good choice bc he had credibility, trust at FBI, and was perceived as non-partisan.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/25/us/politics/robert-mueller-russia-investigation.html …

Given claims like this (FBI not only knew CIA was torturing, but knew they had exceeded authority given by DOJ), that's worth noting.pic.twitter.com/fRcAGhxKI8

The other aspect of Mueller's background that few have noted--but which is central to understanding RU investigation--is that FBI was relying on Felix Sater as informant WHILE he was part of Trump world. Why didn't the corruption get prosecuted at that time?

As to these comments about Mueller not testing a new theory? I think that undersells how much effort Mueller has put into a strategy that has side-effect of reinvigorating protections on Democracy, w/appellate staff of 4/17.pic.twitter.com/XyEGkiAQUN

And the notion that subpoenaing the president (by a guy whose FBI got Cheney in a quasi Grand Jury appearance?) would test limits of executive power? Maybe work on a more obvious theory.pic.twitter.com/qrOZiMcE9g

Having just credited Rudy G's tripe, NYT here -- on issue of final report -- doesn't (smartly). Add in the fact that Rosenstein keeps saying overandoverandover indictments will do the talking.pic.twitter.com/voZAAMqfhs

Anyway, I still think Mueller was the right choice for the job. My guess though -- and that's all this is -- is that this investigation is different for him.

Didn’t Mueller exonerate the NFL in the Ray Rice issue?
-
Yeah, I should have added that too. Another not great mark on his record.

If Mueller chose to document the meeting, that would indicate that he wanted it on the record. Obviously someone else did not want the subject matter of the meeting revealed. Can we blame that on Mueller? I don't think so.
