8. You've made an incorrect assumption

Robert Mueller III was not appointed by Attorney General Sessions who recused himself on the Russia probe. Mr. Mueller was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein who made the appointment after Trump tried to blame his firing of James Comey on Mr. Rosenstein. The Deputy AG threatened to resign if Trump continued to blame him for Mr. Comey's termination.

Furthermore, Mr. Mueller has a remarkably stellar resume and professional history. His appointment was rather brilliant in that his findings will not be biased. Plus, it probably pissed off Trump as it was a nonverbal way of telling Trump to not mess with Mr. Rosenstein.

Lastly, how can you say it "has been a long time and we've seen nothing so far?" Trump has been in office only six months! There has been so much dirt exposed that I can see how one might be desensitized by it all, but still, there's been more in six months than in the 8 years of President Obama's ethical presidency. As far as "some news organization" investigating Trump, have you read the NY Times, the Washington Post, Talking Points Memo or even the posts on Democratic Underground?

Have faith, Maraya1969. Mr. Mueller will expose any illegalities and the news media will reveal the whole story as they continue their excellent reporting.
