A Very Stable Genius Author: Mueller’s Friends Think ‘Something Happened’ to Him, ‘Was Stumbling Over His Words’ Before Congress

Washington Post reporter and A Very Stable Genius co-author Carol Leonnig said that friends of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller believe “something happened” to him over the course of the investigation into President Donald Trump, and that he’s “not the same man” they knew.

On Tuesday morning’s edition of CNN’s New Day, host John Berman quizzed Leonnig about the book, co-written by Philip Rucker, and a passage in which

“To me this is the first real account of from inside of the Mueller probe, and people who thought inside and outside looking in that Mueller might have dropped the ball here,” Berman said, and read a passage from the book in which the authors observe that Mueller looked shaky when delivering his report to Attorney General William Barr.

“Phil and I, my co-author, we are not medical professionals, but over and over again, John, we heard from people who are very close to Bob Mueller who found him a different person, a changed person, after two years of this investigation,” Leonnig told Berman.

but when Democrats had the chance to call witnesses to testify in Trump's impeachment, they didn't call Mueller, or anyone from his team. the scope of the impeachment was narrowed to only focus on Trump's extortion in the Ukraine.

The whole situation was handled poorly, Trump was coddled this entire Presidency, up until the midterm Republicans had full control of Congress and then after the midterm we were told to wait until the Presidential election to rid us of Trump, tossing us a symbolic impeachment to appease us for the time being.
