Los Angeles Times -- According to Los Angeles Times reporter David Willman, Mueller’s “tenacious yet linear approach to evaluating evidence led him to fumble the biggest U.S. terrorism investigation since 9/11.”
The case? Mueller personally managed the FBI investigation into who sent powdered anthrax to government officials, killing five people and injuring 17 others.
Los Angeles Times writes:
The FBI focused on Steven Hatfill, a virologist at the U.S. Army’s laboratories at Ft. Detrick, Md. In January 2003, Mueller assured Congressional leaders in a closed-door briefing that bloodhounds had traced anthrax from the attacks to Hatfill.
But Hatfill had no experience handling anthrax. Nor did he have access to anthrax stored at Ft. Detrick or elsewhere. Years later, the FBI would reject the bloodhound evidence as unreliable.
[…]Two months later, on Aug. 6, Mueller summoned senior investigators and prosecutors on the anthrax case to his seventh-floor office. The FBI would hold a news conference that afternoon, and he wanted to recap the case’s stunning denouement. Bruce E. Ivins, an Army microbiologist at Ft. Detrick who specialized in handling anthrax, had committed suicide after his lawyers informed him he was about to be charged with murder for the letter attacks.
Evidence showed Ivins had created and held custody of a batch of anthrax traced by DNA to each of the killings.
[…]Mueller let others hold the news conference. Some aides who met Mueller that day think he was reluctant to publicly address the missteps with Hatfill, the bloodhounds and the long delay in focusing on Ivins.
Now this...
The Los Angeles Times published a piece on Saturday highlighting Mueller’s “surprising flaws.” However, it’s not so surprising if you have been following our coverage of the Special Counsel.
A former aide to Mueller believes his former boss is a nasty piece of work.
Robert Mueller, special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election, is a “gruff guy” who routinely undermined his subordinates and evaded responsibility as head of the FBI, according to several former aides and investigators who worked with Mueller interviewed by the Los Angeles Times. […]The Special Counsel Robert Mueller is under pressure to resign as his investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election drifts further and further away from its core purpose.
Those interviewed criticized Mueller’s handling of many high-profile cases stretching back to 1979, his temperament with government witnesses, and for directing his subordinates at the FBI to shield him from criticism. One former aide went so far as to say that Mueller is “someone that can’t accept the fact that he screwed up.” […]
His success was marked by a disdain from some of his subordinates. As noted by the Times, Mueller sparked resentment “when he referred privately to reassigning career lawyers as ‘moving the furniture.’”
Many are asking if Mueller should resign after charging former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and business partner Rick Gates with alleged crimes that have nothing to do with President Trump’s 2016 campaign.
GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) introduced a resolution demanding Mueller resign immediately.
Republican Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) believes Mueller’s resignation is long over due. Even Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), who in the past has been bearish on backing the Special Counsel’s resignation, says he supports it if the evidence exists.
Blog Author's Comments: Mueller's investigation is much belated and should be shut down. He will continue this scam as long as he and his leftist lawyers are able to milk it. He has not and will not find anything that connects the outcome of the presidential election with Donald Trump and the Russians. If there were any evidence that came close to proving ties between Trump and Russia it would have already been divulged.
Perhaps it is time to investigate Mueller and company. I wonder if he would like to talk about the Uranium One deal. At the time the Obama administration allowed Russia to buy, reportedly 20% of the U.S. Uranium, Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State and soon to be Donald Trump’s opponent in the 2016 presidential race. People associated with Uranium One had donated millions of dollars to the Clinton family’s so-called charitable organization, the Clinton Foundation. This raised questions about whether there was any connection between the deal’s approval and the donations to the Clinton Foundation. I would think that any semi-intelligent person would believe that the Clintons did very well for themselves with what transpired.
Mueller's job has always been an investigation in search of a crime. Anything that he can find about President Trump, his family, or anyone connected with him. I believe what is obvious is that Robert Mueller and James Comey were both FBI Directors based on politics, not competence. Most people do not have the venality and ruthlessness necessary to succeed at the job. Mueller is charging taxpayers millions of dollars per day to dive D.C. dumpsters looking everywhere for Russian collusion except where it truly exist, in Chappaqua, the home of the Clintons.
I would not be surprised if all that Mueller and his team are dong is destroying evidence from all of their own wrong doing which includes Hillary Clinton and his friend Comey. Considering that it seems that Mueller is not now strictly looking for a Trump, Russia collusion, but he seems to be delving into many different areas. At this rate it won’t be much of an investigation, if Mueller persists in ignoring existing evidence of corruption and criminality within the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign.
