It ENTIRELY skips Mueller's role in Bush's illegal dragnet, both his cooperation with it for years, his role in Hospital Hero, and his role in setting up equally problematic dragnet under FISC.

This LAT critical profile on Mueller is...interesting. It admits missteps w/Amerithrax, but doesn't reveal that Amerithrax was never really solved.http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-mueller-record-20171122-story.html …

I believe this -- Mueller's attempt to get RU to deal us Snowden -- is new. Dunno why you send Mueller to negotiate a Snowden release.pic.twitter.com/PT1dHB3cTT

There's the complete silence on all the banks that didn't get prosecuted under late Mueller tenure. That's partly Lanny Breuer/Holder's fault. But partly complete refocus on terrorism.

Finally, note the silence about the Russian mobsters who didn't get prosecuted under FBI Director Bob Mueller (and the 2X informant tie w/Felix Sater)? He's facing down RU mobsters he (or DOJ) didn't pursue before 2013.

In any case, my take on Mueller is 1) he's good bc he calmed FBI/DOJ and knows how to negotiate that bureaucracy 2) he's actually pursuing some of his own unfinished business 3) he also put together a superb team.

It wasn't solved because the main suspect committed suicide
-
False. It wasn't solved bc his FBI claimed that suicide was a legit suspect, in spite of the long list of reasons he couldn't be.
-
You have a link to the reasons why?

It wasn't Bruce Ivins, the guy who killed himself?
-
Doubtful. The case against him really fell apart.

Wasn't it the
#Amerithrax case that#FBI fitted-up#MattDeHart over? Another#Mueller cover-up? http://archive.is/dr0tB#selection-3785.336-3785.402 … https://www.buzzfeed.com/davidkushner/matt-dehart?utm_term=.nwj9G7V3z#.wu0g6OK2r …#WikiLeaks#DNCLeaks#CrowdStrike#Guccifer2#Assange -
Indeed. I find
#MattDeHart very credible. His description of#anthrax degradation via exposure to radioisotopes isn’t something a regular person could figure out on their own just by Googling. I also think@BillEvanina was instrumental in the counter-intelligence aspect to this. -
… the other method he described in the prison telephone call I heard — statically-charging
#anthrax to increase its affinity to cling to those who come in contact w/ it — is a highly-specific detail beyond what I believe any non-bioweapons expert could dream up.#AmeriThrax -
… it seems unlikely that these probably-real docs were used in a counter-intelligence plot to frame him, so the Q. I have then is this: were these
#AmeriThrax#anthrax docs uploaded by this anonymous#whistleblower to any other servers besides the one#MattDeHart administered? -
… & if so, who has them now? This kind of material — while I believe it would exonerate Dr. Ivins & expose a possibly horrendous cover-up — could be extremely dangerous if released unredacted, esp. if it contains details on aerosolization techniques for enhanced lethality.

… the timing of the attacks was suspicious itself. Throughout the 90’s, the
@USAirForce was struggling to come up w/ a#anthrax vaccine that didn’t cause horrible side effects. See this report from@CIDRAP about the#BioPort vaccine:http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2002/11/gao-military-anthrax-shots-caused-many-reactions-prompted-some-pilots-quit … -
… a new vaccine, called
#BioThrax, was finally approved by the@FDA in 2015, from@EmergentBioSolu (also of Lansing, Michigan). The interesting thing is that this new vaccine was in the pipeline for over a decade, & many#BioPort people went on to work for Emergent. -
…
#BARDA (& others) have showered Emergent w/ major contracts (which is understandable… I think we all agree we want an#anthrax vaccine). But this is all very suspicious. Here’s a story about that $911 BARDA contract, for your edification.http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz-emergent-biosolutions-contract-20161209-story.html … - 3 more replies
