I understand why Mueller wants to remain non-partisan, BUT DAM.

He is old school and believes the justice system must be non-partisan. However, doesn't there come a time, a breaking point when you must simply do what is right?

Mueller was backstabbed by Barr. Barr lied about his report, hid much of the report.

Years of Mueller's work has been attacked By Trump and Barr. They are trying to erase history and rewrite as if the Mueller investigation was the real crime.

Trump and Barr have attacked Mueller's prosecutors. They have set free the people who Mueller and his team indicted and who were convicted.

They are attacking Mueller's reputation, his legacy, his good name and doing a good job of wrecking it.

Maybe Mueller believes that in time, the truth will come out. History will vindicate all that he has done. History will be the final judge and he will have the last laugh.

Honestly, I could not control my temper like Mueller is controlling his.

he did, or tried to do, with his Report; would be attacked from all sides for all kinds of reasons, and would not 'solve the problem'.

The Mueller report, and the talking indictments, laid out a great foundation, that is being used to this day.

'Non-partisan' was just part of what he did for longterm effectiveness.

Mueller in my mind enabled these scumbags such as Barr and rump to put out in the public eye a totally fake narrative and let them run w/ the fake narrative still to this day.

Mueller if you want my opinion, failed to protect the American people.

Isn't that his job as a former FBI agent? He could have gone to the talk shows, he could have issued public statements, he could countered the political BS that Barr and rump put up to cover the worse parts of the Mueller report BUT HE DIDN'T. Isn't this nonsense by Barr and rump exactly what's his job formerly was, to prevent the subversion of the US by foreign adversaries?
