Robert Mueller, who served as special counsel in the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, died on Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter. He was 81.

The cause of death was not immediately known, but Mueller had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for years, the people said.

Mueller, whose two-year probe concluded in 2019 that Russia had interfered in the election with the intent benefitting President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, served as FBI director from 2001 to 2013. The Justice Department in 2017 appointed him special counsel to oversee the growing investigation after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.

8. KRASNOV didn't know Huckabee SANDERS was kicked out of a restaurant or that his toady Chuck NORRIS died,

and "reporters" broke those to him in order to get an incendiary reaction from him, not to mention that he doesn't know what's in his Intelligence briefings since he only cares about Pro-sports and insulting decent people, but his goons were sure to give him MUELLER's passing for their keeping him off their backs.

As for what he said about MUELLER (and many others), I'm saving it to use when MAGAts excoriate us for grave danding when *he* croaks.

9. Robert Mueller, ex-FBI director at center of political tempest, dies at 81

After decades building a reputation for quiet rectitude, he became a political target as the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Robert S. Mueller III, a career prosecutor who became a central figure in two searing national traumas, first as FBI director in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and later as special counsel investigating ties between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia, died Friday. He was 81.

Mr. Mueller’s family confirmed his death in a statement Saturday to the Associated Press. Mr. Mueller had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2021, according to a statement his family shared with the New York Times last year.

During more than four decades in law enforcement — as line prosecutor, U.S. attorney and FBI chief — Mr. Mueller developed a reputation as a stickler for detail who savored methodical investigation and nearly always got his man. Some colleagues privately spoke of the decorated Marine veteran as “Bobby Three Sticks,” referring to his patrician pedigree and the three-fingered Boy Scout salute.....

Mr. Mueller maintained a public silence through the 22 months of his Russia investigation, which yielded indictments leading to convictions of a Trump campaign chairman, a deputy campaign manager, a national security adviser and one of his personal attorneys.

In his report, released in April 2019, Mr. Mueller concluded that “the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome,” and that the Trump campaign “expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”

RIP Bobby Three Sticks

Statement by President George W. Bush on the passing of Robert Mueller:

"Laura and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Mueller. Bob dedicated his life to public service. As a Marine in Vietnam, he proved he was ready for tough assignments. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart before returning home to pursue law.

In 2001, only one week into the job as the 6th Director of the F.B.I., Bob transitioned the agency mission to protecting the homeland after September 11. He led the agency effectively, helping prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathy to his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann, and the Mueller family."

12. Robert Mueller was a true hero, especially when compared to someone else

LEFT: 1960s Robert Mueller, a wounded and highly decorated soldier in Vietnam.

RIGHT: 1960s Donald Trump, a draft dodger at reform school, not athletic enough to make the team so picking up jock straps as “staff.”
