Who in the world but Robert Mueller could sit silently as Bill Barr mischaracterizes and undermines

EVERYTHING Mueller's team worked on for 2 years??!!

WTF?!!!

Is it because...

A) He doesn't care.
B) His allegiance is to the Republican Party.
C) He's senile.
D) Scump has threatened his family
or
E) All, or some combination of, the above.

WHERE ARE YOU, BOB?!!

It is so INCREDIBLY BAFFLING!!!

[jrthin]

1. And may I add, appalling disgusting his silence.

[ElementaryPenguin]

2. Yes indeed!

I really find it hard to believe anyone would allow Barr to go on like this without challenging him!

[ananda]

3. Probly all of the above.

nt

[ElementaryPenguin]

4. That's the way I'm leaning.

[maxsolomon]

5. He respects Authority above all.

Barr has the Authority.

[ElementaryPenguin]

8. Yes. But Barr only got that authority at the very end of the investigation

And I think likely brought it to a screeching halt.

How could he just drop everything to salute that fat gangster?

P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C!!!!!

[maxsolomon]

28. Matters not one whit.

Mueller will never color outside the lines.

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. mostly, B. they are a lockstep cult

[ElementaryPenguin]

13. Wasn't Mueller's reputation, but they certainly mostly are a slimy cult.

[empedocles]

7. Pragmatists, such as FDR, often get slammed for not doing what seems

obvious, to some.

FDR's genius, was to get things done! Like no one else. FDR got things done by doing what he could get support for. Pragmatism.
[Have seen this week running again a great PBS series, 'The Roosevelts, An Intimate History' by Ken Burns.

Back in the day, it had great reviews from DUers, and many others, when it first ran.

Very well done, in showing FDR getting slammed continuously by right and left. Got things done, again, like no one else. Sometimes by a single vote in Congress.

Expectations from Mueller, with very little power, were ridiculous. Over time, Mueller's reputation, and wisdom, will continue to rise.

[ElementaryPenguin]

10. With all due respect, I don't agree that over time Mueller's reputation will "continue rise"...

I'm thinking it will continue to plummet like a ten ton rock.

[MyOwnPeace]

15. I'm with 'ya, El!

When I think of all of the hype regarding "Mueller" - the hats & signs (Mueller Ain't Going Away) - and the SNL skits showing him as "on the job" and worthy of fearing - and then the burying of the entire report and the silence that ensued from the entire Mueller team - I have nothing but disgust and contempt.

It would take a serious news conference with him standing there and telling all before I'll ever consider him as someone other than another tool for IQ45.

[kacekwl]

20. He's gone from a man who had the information, the ability to get more information

to a man who wasted years in the end covering up more than he reviled. When finished he allowed those who were guilty to spin HIS words and work into meaningless dribble. Shame on him and all those who worked with him who know the truth. Unless he decides to have a death bed moment of conscience his reputation will fall lower, as in flat on his face.

[Bradshaw3]

21. Expecting him to at least speak out is ridiculous?

The apologists for Mueller never cease to amaze. No one talked about his power to do something with the facts. Expecting him to back up his report and speak out more is hardly "ridiculous". It's the least he could do when our democracy is at stake. A summer soldier will be his legacy over time.

[ElementaryPenguin]

22. I agree, B!

[Downtown Hound]

9. The biggest mistake we made was buying into all the hype about what a paragon of justice

Mueller is. In my opinion, Mueller actually did a pretty good job on the investigative portion of his job, and produced a pretty damning report on Trump.

Where he completely and totally failed was in his pathetic submission to the raw corruption that Trump and Barr engaged in to cover up and misrepresent what he found. On that end, Mueller is a total coward and complete failure. We had such high hopes for him because we were told what a Boy Scout he was. The problem is, they were right. But we don't need a Boy Scout. We need a Spartacus.

[ElementaryPenguin]

11. Boy Scout. Yes.

Coward. Yes. Yet he was a war hero as a young man.

Wrong guy for the job, that's for sure.

[Brother Mythos]

16. Silent Bob is afraid he might lose his Criminal Justice Merit Badge.

[empedocles]

19. Biggest mistake 'we ' made was pinning, great righteous hopes, on a 'turn it all around

event' - ala the trump pussy grabber tape, trump's repeated campaign ridiculous stupidities, an informed electorate, the 'wisdom' of the far left, the education of the far right, trump's [non-] health care promises, trump's foreign affairs failures, trump's other domestic failures, trump's 17,000 lies, etc., etc. - and yes Mueller whose very investigation was precarious and could have been ended early by trumpers, and who had no prosecutorial tools or authority.

[ElementaryPenguin]

24. Unfortunately, you're dead right on this.

[empedocles]

25. We agreee

[GaYellowDawg]

12. I would bet "B."

They're all party over country. Unpatriotic.

Here's what they all ought to be reciting:

I pledge allegiance to the Republican Party
Of the United States of America.
And to the grift for which it stands:
One party, for the rich, indivisible,
With liberty and immunity for us.

[ElementaryPenguin]

14. Perfect pledge...

Probably what their rich donors uttered under their breath in school.

[SheltieLover]

17. I do not think Mueller is senile

But A, B, & D are quite likely. 🤬

[tblue37]

18. Jeff Tiedrich calls out Mueller, Bolton, Kelly:

Link to tweet

[ElementaryPenguin]

23. He's absolutely right!

Come on, dudes!!

NOW!! People are like dying because of this fraud.

[Poiuyt]

26. Preach it, Jeff!

[meadowlander]

27. He's 75 and spent 55 years defending our country.

He was obviously not well when he testified and didn't want to do it. If he doesn't feel up to the task and wants to retire I think he's earned it.

He led a team of dozens of other lawyers and LEOs who are also not speaking out and are mostly Democrats. It's unlikely that someone "got to" all of them.

The work is out there for anyone to read it who cares to. The people who can't be bothered to read the report are also not going to be bothered to listen to him. How do you know it's lies? Because you read the public report or at least paid attention to other media covering it.

It's a job for all of us to work on our friends, neighbours, family, workmates, casual acquaintances, etc. who have been brainwashed by Fox News - not Bob Mueller's job to sweep in and "save" everyone.
