24. Mueller is not "out to get" Trump. He's investigating some allegations and will go where...

the evidence takes him. If the evidence doesn't take him there, he won't bend things to make it go there.

We're lucky he seems to be an honest man. We could not have hoped for more. But let's not get carried away and think he's on a particular team, other than executing the job he's been given.

I'm still amazed that Rosenstein chose Mueller, and did it so quickly. He had obviously given this some thought beforehand, and had spoken to Mueller before, and was ready to move on it. He's a smart man and seemingly not on Trump's loyalty kabob as someone Trump can dictate to.
