By the fall of 2017, it was clear that Special Counsel Robert Mueller, as a former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was too conflicted to take a detached look at a Russia-collusion story that had become more about FBI malfeasance than about Donald Trump. The evidence of that bias now stares at us through 448 pages of his report. President Trump has every right to feel liberated. What the report shows is that he endured a special-counsel probe that was relentlessly, at times farcically, obsessed with taking him out. What stands out is just how diligently and creatively

Unfortunately, this is just a piece, the entire Strassel column isn´t available and can´t be posted from the Journal. As usual, she´s on top of the story and we learn from her.
If anyone wants to read the whole column, send me an email and I´ll return a PDF.

Surely Mueller is finished as far as the establishment is concerned. He failed miserably to find or manufacture evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians. And it is a great stretch to convince the majority of the people that Trump obstructed Mueller from investigating a crime that never was. Only the drug addled and deranged of democrat base will believe that.

Sorry Kimberley, we all knew the Trump hating Mueller was unfit for the task the day he was named. If he had any integrity he would not have taken the job or wrapped it up the day after he got there when he found the whole thing was a big nothingburger.

#2, and Mueller had an unlimited budget and no time limit on his investigation. He was given complete access, and no executive privilege was invoked.
And, since INTENT is the norm used by Comey to exonerate Hillary, then it should be used for Trump.
That Mueller knew there was no collusion, and presuming Comey did too, and they didn´t advise this to the American public is a disservice to the country.
Likely countries and leaders around the world may have negotiated or dealt with the United States differently because of the cloud they left hanging, or they may have been concerned about being ensnared in the investigation.

Kimberley Strassel is right. FBI corrupted the G-men and they are now ALL tainted. Time to disband the FBI and the useless CIA.

Kimberly has been on top of this mess from day one. Mueller didn’t have the guts to make a decision , he put the obstruction decision on Barr. If Mueller was so credible why didn’t he stand with Barr? I think Mueller is intimidated of the media & the Dems.

Yes, but one must keep in mind that it is a carefully crafted political smear, not an actual fair report. Mueller was hired as a political assassin, and he failed, but his smear team did their best, having zero facts to work with.
Remember, ALL the persectutors (no typo) were committed Dem slash and burn operatives, intending from day one to Get Trump. They were not neutral investigators seeking the truth.
Even so, these junkyard dogs could find no facts to the case, so they just wrote lots of innuendo, outright lies and half-truths.
Still, there is NOTHING there.

I´m done with this. Now they´ve completely dropped the Russia BS and are preparing to give us another six months or more of obstruction hysteria. It´s never gonna stop. In fact, this is now the new normal when a Republican occupies *their* White House. It will be one ´scandal´ after another with never ending screaming and demands for impeachment on any grounds imaginable.

I didn´t think "paywall" articles were allowed on this site. They´re annoying at the very least.
#1, thank you. Expect an email soon. Subject: WSJ Article.

Mueller has proven only that he played a HUGE part in the FBI rotting from the top down as the former Director.
