Robert Mueller Deserves a Medal

[justoffal]

He is more deserving of a prison cell.

you & trump believe anybody not loyal to HIM should be.

we are still a nation of laws, not men. nor one autocratic orange clown.

LOL. I can’t stand Trump but for legitimate reasons, unlike you.

Mueller is a warmongering liar. Pushed W’s dumb illegal war. He prosecuted an innocent man over the anthrax incident and continued too, even after proof of his innocence was exposed. He is a scumbag.

He also has a long record of prosecutorial misconduct IE: framing people with process crimes. This is exactly why he was chosen for the job.

A well deserved pat on the back for Robert Mueller. May he now rest in peace. He did his job knowing that approximately half the country would hate and revile him, no matter what the investigation found, but he didn't flinch. He never changed his story, either, much to the frustration of a good part of Congress.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

Robert Mueller deserves a Medal of Honor

​

The picture that spoke far more words than former special counsel Robert Mueller uttered during last week’s hearings was taken by renowned photographer David Hume Kennerly.

The close-up of Mueller’s face was a portrait of rare depth, the sort one is more likely to find on a Leonardo da Vinci canvas with all its shadows, hollows and his soulful, nearly weeping eyes. I found myself thinking of paintings of the Agony in the Garden, showing Jesus’ upturned face as he prayed. No doubt, Mueller, too, was praying that this all would soon be over.


On Instagram, Kennerly captioned his photo: “Weary warrior.”

The tag was fitting and perfect. Mueller, a Vietnam War hero and recipient of a Bronze Star, has fought nobly throughout a life of distinguished public service. Whether defending his country on the battlefield or as director of the FBI, he has by all accounts been a man of honor, dignity and careful judgment.

After two years of draining the swamp of several of its slimiest occupants — all associates of the president of the United States — Mueller had to present himself one final time for the benefit of politicians bent on showboating at his expense. Democrats wanted to get him on record saying that he did not exonerate President Donald Trump of possible obstruction of justice, which everyone who cared already knew. This they did by reading excerpts of Mueller’s 400-plus-page report and asking him to confirm that they were correct.


Mueller kept the bulk of his responses to “yes,” “no,” “true” and “correct.” The rest largely consisted of “I refer you to the report,” “It’s outside my purview” and, best of all, “I take your question,” which apparently is a polite way of saying, “I rue the day you were born.”

Both party’s members had their agenda. Republicans wanted to get themselves on record as Trump sycophants, apparently, while also proving that they could be just as nasty as Democrats were to Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court nomination hearings last year. You may now check your boxes and get back to phoning your donors.

It was painful to watch as Republicans yelled at Mueller, pounding the table and throwing their best tantrums, even as Mueller was clearly not at his best. Whether he was merely tired — or just sick and tired — or perhaps even giving in a bit to age, he surely deserved more of their respect.


Most egregiously obnoxious was Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee. After saying that he is often accused of speaking too fast and promising to slow it down, Collins then proceeded to imitate an auctioneer, shoving as many words into a split second as is humanly possible. This was plainly deliberate and seemed intended to confuse Mueller or make him seem not fully cognizant. More than once, Mueller was forced to ask him to repeat the question. It was one of the most arrogant, self-important performances I’ve witnessed in decades of political reporting. Can we send Collins back to where he came from, please?

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, shouted so much I was afraid he might choke on his tongue. And Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, got worked up over Volume II of the report, which he said broke regulations, and yelled that Trump wasn’t above the law but somehow shouldn’t be below it either

One notices that you don’t truly know people until they have power. For a few hours last Wednesday, members of the Judiciary and Intelligence committees had power over Mueller, and several revealed themselves to be unworthy of the audience. Mueller isn’t a perfect man, but he is a gentleman. He exercised his own power during the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election by never speaking a word publicly.


In starkest contrast to Trump, who bellowed his non-exoneration, Mueller isn’t an attention-seeker. This man of few words surely had aplenty to say in the privacy of his own space with an audience of his own choosing. Or, perhaps, he had nothing more to say, having completed the job he was asked to do with his usual tenacity and humility.

This is what I saw in his face as I watched the proceedings — a humble man who has seen enough of life and kept his own counsel through most of it. A weary warrior, indeed. For his forbearance throughout his investigation — and his patience through last week’s insufferable hearings — he deserves a Medal of Honor.

No, no M.O.H. For Muller. He is an arrogant political elite who lived in a bubble his whole career in Washington. I will say though, it is sad that his legacy will be undone over time as more and more details come out about how investors did what they did in his name.

from what i could tell, he didn't even write the report itself. he also was not unbiased in his judgments but tilted against who he was investigating.

but that is my own opinion. in any event there was no good reason or outcome of making his do all the left made him do last week. that was just stupid grandstanding we've got more than enough of.

I agree with you the spectacle last week was nothing but grandstanding and a last gasp effort to wring out of the investigation something the Dems wanted to hear.
It was pathetic all around.

Well what the rest of us saw was an incompetent old man who was too stupid to know his entire staff were blatant Trump-haters.

He let a witch hunt go on for two years, attempted to entrap the President and failed, and abused his authority to harass Trump administration and his family, all while turning a blind eye to the liars that manufactured the charges in the first place.

He was always a failed prosecutor (remember when he blamed and innocent man of anthrax attacks?), and will always be remembered as a partisan hack for Dems.

I already know what y'all thought. I've read it here in full. This is a thank you from me, who wasn't invested in him finding one way or the other. No leaks, no grandstanding, not even when the most outrageous bullshit was flying around about the investigation being corrupt, biased, etc. etc.

He's one of those seemingly rare animals these days--a Republican with honor.

Honor my ass. Greed is more like it.
Long after he knew that he was running a partisan witch Hunt with false materials he continued to be a political parasite.

You knew what we'all were thinking did ya Ancient Bitch? ( Synonym for old lady ) well aren't you special! I guess that means we already knew what you were thinking too. Sex starved old bags usually have identical thought patterns.

Jo

Pissed you off, did I? Good.

Sure....any time I feel motivated enough to waste precious thought energy pointing out a flagrent double standard by fellating slaves of fantasy....It does indeed irritate me. Yet someone has to do it else we would have stench diapered fools running about the place thinking they actually know something.

Republicans wanted to get themselves on record as Trump sycophants, apparently, while also proving that they could be just as nasty as Democrats were to Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court nomination hearings last year. You may now check your boxes and get back to phoning your donors.

It was painful to watch as Republicans yelled at Mueller, pounding the table and throwing their best tantrums, even as Mueller was clearly not at his best. Whether he was merely tired — or just sick and tired — or perhaps even giving in a bit to age, he surely deserved more of their respect.


Most egregiously obnoxious was Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee. After saying that he is often accused of speaking too fast and promising to slow it down, Collins then proceeded to imitate an auctioneer, shoving as many words into a split second as is humanly possible. This was plainly deliberate and seemed intended to confuse Mueller or make him seem not fully cognizant. More than once, Mueller was forced to ask him to repeat the question. It was one of the most arrogant, self-important performances I’ve witnessed in decades of political reporting. Can we send Collins back to where he came from, please?

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, shouted so much I was afraid he might choke on his tongue. And Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, got worked up over Volume II of the report, which he said broke regulations, and yelled that Trump wasn’t above the law but somehow shouldn’t be below it either

One notices that you don’t truly know people until they have power. For a few hours last Wednesday, members of the Judiciary and Intelligence committees had power over Mueller, and several revealed themselves to be unworthy of the audience. Mueller isn’t a perfect man, but he is a gentleman. He exercised his own power during the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election by never speaking a word publicly.


In starkest contrast to Trump, who bellowed his non-exoneration, Mueller isn’t an attention-seeker. This man of few words surely had aplenty to say in the privacy of his own space with an audience of his own choosing. Or, perhaps, he had nothing more to say, having completed the job he was asked to do with his usual tenacity and humility.

This is what I saw in his face as I watched the proceedings — a humble man who has seen enough of life and kept his own counsel through most of it. A weary warrior, indeed. For his forbearance throughout his investigation — and his patience through last week’s insufferable hearings — he deserves a Medal of Honor.

Good Lord!!!..... they have ran out of sugary drinks with that one!!!
Jesus.... it was painfully obvious Mueller wasn't really even in charge.

 

[gipper]

He is more deserving of a prison cell.

you & trump believe anybody not loyal to HIM should be.

we are still a nation of laws, not men. nor one autocratic orange clown.

LOL. I can’t stand Trump but for legitimate reasons, unlike you.

Mueller is a warmongering liar. Pushed W’s dumb illegal war. He prosecuted an innocent man over the anthrax incident and continued too, even after proof of his innocence was exposed. He is a scumbag.

He also has a long record of prosecutorial misconduct IE: framing people with process crimes. This is exactly why he was chosen for the job.

Jo

Exactly. The fact that he was chosen as IC, is proof enough that this whole affair was corrupt from the start.

Any American who thinks Mueller capable of honesty and lawful action, is a dunce. He has proven himself to be a corrupt elitist.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

A well deserved pat on the back for Robert Mueller. May he now rest in peace. He did his job knowing that approximately half the country would hate and revile him, no matter what the investigation found, but he didn't flinch. He never changed his story, either, much to the frustration of a good part of Congress.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

Robert Mueller deserves a Medal of Honor

​

The picture that spoke far more words than former special counsel Robert Mueller uttered during last week’s hearings was taken by renowned photographer David Hume Kennerly.

The close-up of Mueller’s face was a portrait of rare depth, the sort one is more likely to find on a Leonardo da Vinci canvas with all its shadows, hollows and his soulful, nearly weeping eyes. I found myself thinking of paintings of the Agony in the Garden, showing Jesus’ upturned face as he prayed. No doubt, Mueller, too, was praying that this all would soon be over.


On Instagram, Kennerly captioned his photo: “Weary warrior.”

The tag was fitting and perfect. Mueller, a Vietnam War hero and recipient of a Bronze Star, has fought nobly throughout a life of distinguished public service. Whether defending his country on the battlefield or as director of the FBI, he has by all accounts been a man of honor, dignity and careful judgment.

After two years of draining the swamp of several of its slimiest occupants — all associates of the president of the United States — Mueller had to present himself one final time for the benefit of politicians bent on showboating at his expense. Democrats wanted to get him on record saying that he did not exonerate President Donald Trump of possible obstruction of justice, which everyone who cared already knew. This they did by reading excerpts of Mueller’s 400-plus-page report and asking him to confirm that they were correct.

from what i could tell, he didn't even write the report itself. he also was not unbiased in his judgments but tilted against who he was investigating.

but that is my own opinion. in any event there was no good reason or outcome of making his do all the left made him do last week. that was just stupid grandstanding we've got more than enough of.

I agree with you the spectacle last week was nothing but grandstanding and a last gasp effort to wring out of the investigation something the Dems wanted to hear.
It was pathetic all around.

Contrary to being SUPER-BOB... he looked more like a senile version of Oliver Twist.

The picture that spoke far more words than former special counsel Robert Mueller uttered during last week’s hearings was taken by renowned photographer David Hume Kennerly.

The close-up of Mueller’s face was a portrait of rare depth, the sort one is more likely to find on a Leonardo da Vinci canvas with all its shadows, hollows and his soulful, nearly weeping eyes. I found myself thinking of paintings of the Agony in the Garden, showing Jesus’ upturned face as he prayed. No doubt, Mueller, too, was praying that this all would soon be over.


On Instagram, Kennerly captioned his photo: “Weary warrior.”

The tag was fitting and perfect. Mueller, a Vietnam War hero and recipient of a Bronze Star, has fought nobly throughout a life of distinguished public service. Whether defending his country on the battlefield or as director of the FBI, he has by all accounts been a man of honor, dignity and careful judgment.

After two years of draining the swamp of several of its slimiest occupants — all associates of the president of the United States — Mueller had to present himself one final time for the benefit of politicians bent on showboating at his expense. Democrats wanted to get him on record saying that he did not exonerate President Donald Trump of possible obstruction of justice, which everyone who cared already knew. This they did by reading excerpts of Mueller’s 400-plus-page report and asking him to confirm that they were correct.


Mueller kept the bulk of his responses to “yes,” “no,” “true” and “correct.” The rest largely consisted of “I refer you to the report,” “It’s outside my purview” and, best of all, “I take your question,” which apparently is a polite way of saying, “I rue the day you were born.”

Both party’s members had their agenda. Republicans wanted to get themselves on record as Trump sycophants, apparently, while also proving that they could be just as nasty as Democrats were to Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court nomination hearings last year. You may now check your boxes and get back to phoning your donors.

It was painful to watch as Republicans yelled at Mueller, pounding the table and throwing their best tantrums, even as Mueller was clearly not at his best. Whether he was merely tired — or just sick and tired — or perhaps even giving in a bit to age, he surely deserved more of their respect.


Most egregiously obnoxious was Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee. After saying that he is often accused of speaking too fast and promising to slow it down, Collins then proceeded to imitate an auctioneer, shoving as many words into a split second as is humanly possible. This was plainly deliberate and seemed intended to confuse Mueller or make him seem not fully cognizant. More than once, Mueller was forced to ask him to repeat the question. It was one of the most arrogant, self-important performances I’ve witnessed in decades of political reporting. Can we send Collins back to where he came from, please?

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, shouted so much I was afraid he might choke on his tongue. And Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, got worked up over Volume II of the report, which he said broke regulations, and yelled that Trump wasn’t above the law but somehow shouldn’t be below it either

One notices that you don’t truly know people until they have power. For a few hours last Wednesday, members of the Judiciary and Intelligence committees had power over Mueller, and several revealed themselves to be unworthy of the audience. Mueller isn’t a perfect man, but he is a gentleman. He exercised his own power during the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election by never speaking a word publicly.


In starkest contrast to Trump, who bellowed his non-exoneration, Mueller isn’t an attention-seeker. This man of few words surely had aplenty to say in the privacy of his own space with an audience of his own choosing. Or, perhaps, he had nothing more to say, having completed the job he was asked to do with his usual tenacity and humility.

This is what I saw in his face as I watched the proceedings — a humble man who has seen enough of life and kept his own counsel through most of it. A weary warrior, indeed. For his forbearance throughout his investigation — and his patience through last week’s insufferable hearings — he deserves a Medal of Honor.

Well what the rest of us saw was an incompetent old man who was too stupid to know his entire staff were blatant Trump-haters.

He let a witch hunt go on for two years, attempted to entrap the President and failed, and abused his authority to harass Trump administration and his family, all while turning a blind eye to the liars that manufactured the charges in the first place.

He was always a failed prosecutor (remember when he blamed and innocent man of anthrax attacks?), and will always be remembered as a partisan hack for Dems.

I already know what y'all thought. I've read it here in full. This is a thank you from me, who wasn't invested in him finding one way or the other. No leaks, no grandstanding, not even when the most outrageous bullshit was flying around about the investigation being corrupt, biased, etc. etc.

He's one of those seemingly rare animals these days--a Republican with honor.

Lol
He’s a deep state piece of shit...

A well deserved pat on the back for Robert Mueller. May he now rest in peace. He did his job knowing that approximately half the country would hate and revile him, no matter what the investigation found, but he didn't flinch. He never changed his story, either, much to the frustration of a good part of Congress.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

Indeed. It is an opinion piece, an editorial, otherwise called an op ed. Gold star for you.

So then why post it? The author’s opinion is as valid as yours or mine? Trying to make yourself feel better?

What an odd question. Why post it? Opinions are no longer welcome on USMB?
