Listen to Sarah Kendzior's Gaslit Nation podcasts - last 2 about her book Hiding in Plain Sight (which you should read).

She posits - and she is a recognized international expert - that it is due to the GLOBAL CHILD PREDATOR rings these people are entangled in. Not Mueller himself.

Think about it: that conspiracy about Hillary in the pizza restaurant. You know how trumpers always turn things right back around?

Kendzior suggests it's either due to complicity, or threats.

complete the investigation, but decompensating rapidly. I suspect those in the "know" have tried to protect him (if you recall there was an attempt to get his investigators to attend the congressional hearings and answer some of the questions).

So, if I am right, Mueller can't take on Barr, even if he wanted to.

Someone, some day will write a book and we'l learn more. I suspect Mueller is not well. He seemed a bit fragile at the Congressional hearing.

And his republican wife might encounter some blowback at her republican bible study group at their republican church. Where her best friend is the wife of some republican blowhard, forget who.

And is not capable of responding to Barr?

He did not look fully in charge the last time he was in front of the Congress, as I recall.

Threw away an otherwise stellar reputation with his moronic testimony.

He’ll keep quiet now or just refer people to the report.

Hate to say this about him.

Coward.

latest outrage. I'd be shocked if Mueller suddenly finds his voice now.

none of the people working under him haven't spilled some facts. Not against Barr in particular, but just setting the record straight. I wonder how Trumps attacks on Obama will play in the agencies.

afterwards. He let the country down. I doubt he’ll make up for it by speaking against his buddy.

So disappointed in him. He's a company man and he won't do anything to upset the apple cart.
