The Young Turks are now running hit pieces on Mueller to help Trump

32. He was expressing the views of the administration and its stated concerns.

the FBI had no jurisdiction over the Iraq WMD intelligence, so anything he would have said would have embedded as an assumption that the CIA/NSA etc were correct in their conclusion that Saddam had WMD. Seems unrealistic to expect that the FBI director would be second-guessing intelligence-gathering which his agency didn't do.

More to the point, this is a talking point used to discredit his investigation of Trump, and that's exactly what the creator of that piece, Michael "Maxine Waters ran over me with a tank" Tracey did--by positioning Mueller's appointment as the "political and media class" vs the populist hero, Donald Trump. It's classic propaganda as one would expect of a Kremlin apologist like Tracey, who disbelieves nothing Putin and Trump say about Russian interference in our elections.
