Yes, Mueller does things by the book, but he is also human.

[shockey80]

Mueller was given the task to investigate if a conspiracy took place. During his investigation Mueller unearthed many more crimes and he passed them on to other prosecutors. He has indicted many people for these crimes. Mueller follows the law by the book, but he also loves his country and he will use the law any way he can to destroy someone who is trying to destroy the country he loves.

During his investigation Mueller has watched Trump attack all the investigations. Trump has attacked Muellers investigation for two years. Trump has attacked the FBI and wrongly fired, wrongly ruined the careers of FBI agents who are patriots. They are also people Mueller knows and respects. Mueller has watched Trump try to destroy our democracy. He has witnessed all the obstruction. He has witnessed the appointment of people to top positions in the justice department who are Trump loyalists.

Mueller knows Trump is one of the biggest threats to the country he loves. He is the biggest threat to the FBI which he loves. He has watched Trump destroy the lives of people he respects and cares about. I believe Mueller knows Trump has to be taken down.

I find it hard to believe Mueller will release a report that will not end this nightmare. Mueller knows how evil, how dangerous Trump is.

I believe mueller has a plan. A plan that will leave no doubt among the American people that Trump has to be removed.

1. Only Mueller knows what is going on with this investigation

approximately when it will wind down and any other details. Everything else is conjecture.

[Sneederbunk]

2. Agreed. BTW what is the current status of Rosenstein?

[MadDAsHell]

3. Mueller is a Rethuglican.

The fact that everyone here ignores that reality is just setting ourselves up for disappointment.

People are either ignoring or just don't want to know that Mueller existed before the Trump investigation. And we weren't fans of him then.

9. He is a traditional Republican, and we know that some of them are Never Trumpers

and some speak out as loudly against him as any Democrat.

Based on his background and training and all the instincts that were honed in Vietnam and in decades as a prosecutor, I think he will put country over party.

[Heartstrings]

4. I believe this as well, shockey80!

He's going to make sure every "i" is dotted and "t" crossed.....this can't be accomplished with haste, it needs to be done right to make it stand....

Carry on, Mr. Special Prosecutor!

5. Watching McCabe and Comey get utterly shafted has GOT to have pissed him off

He's known those two for decades and I'm betting worked pretty closely with them at times. He cannot be happy about what SCUMBAG TRUMP did to them, completely unjustly in both cases.

Then there's of course the nonstop public bashing of his 100% legit investigation, which is OBSTRUCTION in and of itself IMO. That also has to have irritated him.

Not that, optimally, this SHOULD influence his actions, but I'd agree there's almost no way he didn't feel compelled to go the extra (LEGAL) mile to make sure he turned over every last Stone (get it!?!) he could find.

6. I am positive that Robert Mueller III is thoroughly disgusted with draft dodging corrupt rump. nt

[Squinch]

7. I hope like hell you are right.

[Maeve]

8. We are trusting to his basic principles

And that may be risky, but it's a risk we have to take. His career has been one of honor, and that gives support for our hopes.

Personally, I suspect part of his plan includes sharing tips and evidence with the NY AG.
