The Collapse Of Mueller And His Report

(The Boston Herald) What an unmitigated disaster Robert Muellers appearances before congressional hearings were yesterday. So confused frail and doddering was the former special counsel that the integrity of his nearly 450-page report must be questioned. In addition the integrity of the investigation itself has been undercut totally by Muellers inability and disinterest in ensuring his staff was impartial and held no animus toward President Trump. When a Texas Republican asked Mueller about the hiring of FBI agent Peter Strzok who had been sending anti-Trump text messages to his lover former FBI lawyer Lisa Page Mueller said it was all news to him until the summer of 2017. In 2016 Page asked Strzok in a text Trumps not ever going to become president right?" Strzok replied No. No he wont. Well stop it." An epic disservice was done to the American people with the launch of the Mueller investigation and the selection of its namesake as the lead. The country has been burdened by a prolonged national distraction for nearly three years and the payoff is an inconclusive and now discredited report that its author cannot defend explain or undergird whatsoever with his own words. Whats more Mueller made it clear that his investigation was never curtailed by President Trump. Now there are more questions to answer: Who really oversaw the investigators?
