Mueller, Comey, and Garland will forever be remembered as those that could have done something about this and chose not to. Each of them would have cited protocol and procedure as reasons for their actions, but ultimately all three were just cowards afraid of ruffling feathers and fearful of betting on the wrong horse.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not true, you are seeing their redemtion in real-time. Most people see Mueller and others as "serious" civil servents who did the best they could. There will not be any introspection or criticism. In 2028 Dems will be glazing Muelleras if the problem with our system isn't capitalism, it's just people didn't believe hard enough in the rule of law and the natural order.
they thought they could ride the tiger, if you'll excuse a metaphor
He was Barr's friend. It's no so much that he was outmaneuvered as that, when Barr lied about the results of the investigation, Mueller just shut up and took it. Just like a soldier following an illegal order. Very Vietnam War of him.
All he had to do was publicly and accurately state the conclusions anyway, Barr's orders be damned.
Mueller was a fucking failure and a Republican jobber. I didn't care for the guy. That said, what Trump said was fucking deplorable and was meant for Charlie Kirk.
Nah Trump has always said the quiet part loud, and it is honestly his best feature. Fuck Mueller, fuck pretty much anyone who hasn't been majority critical of the US government since at the very least Reagan.
dude was a career jobber, he literally took investigations to lose them so republicans can get away with shit
