Millions Willing to Work for Mueller for Free If That Would Speed Things Up

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Millions of Americans would gladly work for Robert Mueller for free if that would help speed things up, a new poll finds.

According to the survey, a substantial number of Americans would leave their jobs, their homes, and even their families to join the special counsel’s team if doing so would help bring this nightmare to a swifter conclusion.

A spokesperson for the special counsel confirmed that his office has been receiving thousands of résumés a day from Americans begging to do anything to help Mueller “move things along.”

This is a spoof but also may be true.

Alas, I do not have the knowledge and skills that would be most beneficial. But I'd help in any way I could.

I have decades of office and computer programming skills, including databases. Heck, I'd be willing to go around emptying wastebaskets, replacing drinks, and bringing meals and snacks.

He is so consistently great at posting just-possible satire.

It's cliche to point it out, but if I didn't see the link/byline, I would very often mistake his work for actual reporting.

and I want President Asshole, not everyone around him.

RICO charges take a long time to make airtight. I can wait.
