I can't believe Mueller has not quit yet. Why is he acquiescing to this bullshit? SunSeeker May 2019 #10

Couldn't he still be working on the counter-intelligence investigation pnwmom May 2019 #15

I heard that Mueller said recently that he did NOT look into that at all. FailureToCommunicate May 2019 #21

Mueller hasn't been saying anything publicly and until he does I don't believe any rumors. pnwmom May 2019 #22

Pretty sure he did. I just don't recall who reported it. FailureToCommunicate May 2019 #23

His Report makes clear the FBI is/was handling the counterintelligence aspect, not Mueller. SunSeeker May 2019 #24

Again, this doesn't preclude the possibility that Mueller was involved in both areas. pnwmom May 2019 #32

His Report says he wasn't involved in both areas, that's why the FBI was embedded. SunSeeker May 2019 #35

Could you site the specific language of his report that says that? pnwmom May 2019 #36

Mueller was never working on the counterintelligence investigation. SunSeeker May 2019 #27

That doesn't mean that Mueller has not been assisting the FBI with its probe. pnwmom May 2019 #28

There is no more Mueller probe, so he isn't assisting the FBI counterintelligence folks any more. SunSeeker May 2019 #30

There is no more Mueller criminal probe. We don't know what his involvement pnwmom May 2019 #31
