To me, in your story, you’re assuming Mueller to be honorable. Rosenstein brought him in to interview for his old gig and head FBI and was turned down. Rosenstein then brought him in to investigate the guy who turned him down, who happens to be the guy who iced his protege. Rosenstein also refused to put any parameters on what could and could not be investigated.
Now Rosenstein is refusing to comply with the people who oversee him.
It’s either a Trojan Horse or Rosenstein has a misplaced sense that trying to appear so above board he’s beyond reproach will eventually make everyone happy.
I guess there are gradations of what constitutes “honorable” and how consciously duplicitous someone is being. I do suppose that Mueller has some internal rationale for the job he is doing…meaning that I don’t think he is baldly scheming to destroy Trump at all costs.
Rosenstein is hard to read. Some respectable people stand by him.
Sorry but you’re being way too kind to HRC. What she did with the server was illegal and was a huge security breach (John Walker or Robert Hanssen level). She may well have gotten Amb. Stevens killed by possibly giving away his travel schedule. The average citizen would be in jail for s long time for doing what she did. And the Clinton Global Initiative is dirty too. We’re talking fraud and extortion on 100s of millions or even billions of dollars.
