I've never understood why so many have been praising and worshipping a Republican anyway

[fescuerescue]

Mueller is a lifelong Republican. Everytime I mentioned that I was told over and over "yes he is, but he's different".

We don't know what's in the report. All we know is how Washington is reacting. And I don't see a reaction that reflects a President on his way out.

Time will tell. But I think the worship of Republican Mueller will be a little less over the coming days and weeks.

1. I guess it's all a matter of whose ox is being gored, isn't it?

According to Trump he's a compromised Democrat.

[Bettie]

2. Out of hope that he'd choose country over party

Did he? We don't know yet.

We'll eventually find out.

4. He's a lifelong fed...

He's a lifelong fed... who chose to go into combat in a losing war at a time when someone with his background could have easily opted out (as many did).

I believe that level of commitment demonstrates something about the man.

Whether my belief will be justified remains to be seen.

6. I hope so

but my hope is wearing really thin these days.

There appear to be no norms anymore.

9. There are always norms; there's a question about how those who choose to

There are always norms; there's a question about how those who choose to violate those norms are treated.

Stand fast.

3. I think some people

I think some people and at other places are maybe gullible. Then there some that are probably right-wingers. Boast a republican up and then when something comes out, they would say, "well you said he was a good guy".

I was just being a realist and history of Mueller and the dirty pos Baar. Seen that coming years ago.

5. Sometimes a label is just a label.

In our two party system, if you are going to serve in leadership in government, one has to be one party or the other.

I simply don't see individuals like Mueller or Comey as partisans.

I don't worship Mueller, but I'm not concerned that he will have let the Republican label keep him from doing his duty.

7. Would the result be different if Mueller was a Dem? I think not.

8. I now call it the Publican Party

Publican: ancient Latin for tax collector.

14. awesome tip

Im gonna remember that

[emulatorloo]

10. He believes in the rule of law and took down mobsters. No one "worships" him

here AFAIK. He has a rep as a straight shooter.

Honestly none of us know what’s in the report yet besides Muellers team and Barr.

It will all come out eventually though.

[Generic Brad]

13. Agreed. He has demonstrated integrity in the past

That over rules party affiliation for me.

11. this is simplistic trump level type shit.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. I've never understood why people act like that about much of anybody.

15. Cause there was little reason to do such ... BEFORE... he decided to punk out on America
