Mueller denied that he was pursuing the job under oath during testimony before Congress."My understanding was I was not applying for the job,” Mueller testified on July 24. “I was asked to give my input on what it would take to do the job.""It has been reported that Robert Mueller

I need someone to explain this to me. Why did he lie? Did he need a job either way? Was he originally planning to take the FBI job but then he got the Rosenstein offer and he liked that better?

When are we going to do something about Washington elites who lie to Congress? Heck, they are going after parents who bribed people to get their kids into college. It would set an example if the DOJ prosecuted Herr Mueller and James Comey for their crimes.

How convenient. After a failed attempt to install Mueller as a figurehead FBI Director, the coup crew arranged his alternative role: Figurehead Special Prosecutor.

But but Herr Mueller is a war hero and a lifetime Republican. He wouldn't lie or do anything nefarious.

Didn't we know this at the time of the interview and when he lied about it to Congress? Why is this being treated as some new revelation? I'm confused.

Mueller lied under oath. The FBI should raid his house in the middle of the night and haul him off to solitary confinement. Next, they should subpoena all his financial records for the past 40 years, find some inconsistencies and put him in jail for the rest of his life. That would be justice.

Another Icon down the tubes---who will Chelsey Handler have left to think of as sexy? Actually, Mueller was so muddled and hands off during his actual problem that I worried he had Bidenitis....maybe his interview was of that ilk? Or he is just another liar.

Here is a tidbit from my memory bank.
Herr Mueller was the new FBI director when 9/11/01 happened. The FBI had dropped the ball when an agent in the field requested a search warrant for that laptop belonging to one of the filthy islamofadcist terrorist pigs. The supervisor denied the warrant request. The rest is history. (The laptop, it was later learned, contained the plans for 9/11.)
The FBI, the day after 9/11, sent agents out to interview muslims and others, anticipating follow up attacks. But one FBI agent, a muslim, said he could not interrogate fellow muslims, because of their shared religion.
What did Herr Mueller do? He said, 'well, all right then!' and gave the muslim fbi agent a pass!
Herr Mueller also ordered the FBI trainers to purge training materials dealing with Islam.
And he wanted a second act at the FBI directorship???

Gregg Jarrett explained why Mueller lied about this under oath last night. Mueller talked with Rod Rosenstein prior to the meeting and had gotten information from him that they were investigation a possible obstruction of justice charge against the President for firing Comey. When Mueller went in to talk to Trump under the pretense of interviewing for the job his real job was to get Trump to talk about his reasons for firing Comey and possibly let something slip that could be used against him. Trump indirectly admitted to Jarrett that this topic was discussed at the interview but he did not go into details.
Both Rosenstein and Mueller knew the real intent of the meeting was to get evidence against Trump yet Rosenstein still appointed Mueller to be the "impartial" Special Prosecutor a few days later. This is how deep the swamp goes when you will believe you are on a mission to save the country from the duly elected President Trump by any means necessary.

If it weren't for the lies that Mueller tells, he'd have essentially nothing to say at all.
