There wasn't an ongoing investigation when Mueller was appointed Fiendish Thingy Nov 2022 #30

So you're saying the SC is just a formality? iemanja Nov 2022 #31

Of course not Fiendish Thingy Nov 2022 #34

NO. Before Garland was the direct report of the attorneys working on the Trump cases. pnwmom Nov 2022 #36
