(2,736 posts)They used to be run by Republicans (always have been and still are) and they lived and breathed the rule IOKIYAR. That was in the culture every single day since J Edgar. The culture says "Laws are for street crime. We are not political, so if politicians do anything iffy, we just ignore it, because their punishment is to be voted out of office."
Remember there has never, ever been a single Democrat confirmed as FBI Director. The Democratic Presidents believed this same J Edgar bullshit and didn't even try to nominate a Democrat.
Mueller might have had more integrity than some, but he was a product of that sick culture. There was never a chance he was going to do anything. Moreover, by the time he was named for Mueller Time, he obviously was mentally was past his prime.
RIP Mueller. Thanks for nothing.
