(202 posts)Trump has been horribly disparaging him for over the past year. He is only human.

(27,814 posts)... is the least bit interested in anything Spanky McShithole has to say about him, you haven't been paying attention.
I have been paying attention. But thanks for the input.

(7,220 posts)I just don't see him as someone who'd let emotions alter the way he conducts business.
Taking everything personally and then lashing out to soothe his wounded ego, that sounds like President Tronald J Dump.

(202 posts)But, hey his family and neighbors and peers hear it too. Just have to say that the taste of revenge, and a righteous one at that, is sweet.

(49,001 posts)Obama was no cyborg, but had grace and coolness, calm under pressure. He was the same in private as public.
Mature highly accomplished professionals get that way most often by realizing that the emotions of revenge and self-pitying anger get a person nowhere. Yes, there are some who frequently use harsh and rough language and mistreat subordinates but they are the exception, not the rule.
You are imagining Mueller would be like tRump, who is a failed business person, not really a success at all. He'd be richer if he had invested his father's legacy in the S&P 500 and let it sit 40 years.
tRump gets pissed all the time.

Trump has been disparaging them and thumbing his nose at the criminal law.
That has very likely significantly elevated the resolve of a bunch in the FBI to nail Trump.
Likewise, look what happen with Brennan and Trump taking away his security clearance. Hundreds stepped up. When someone is dumb enough to flirt with the Russians, it certainly doesn't help when you piss off the folks who might be looking into your flirtation.
This was never a witch hunt. But Trump's actions have turned it into a Trump hunt. They seemed really resolved to nail this traitor.

(202 posts)I am in agreement.

(90,686 posts)...to irrelevant trivia. You may not have noticed, but there have been zero leaks from the Mueller investigation. Zip. Nada.
He doesn't give a flip what Trump says about him, except when Trump incriminates himself.
Mueller just plugs along, distributing evidence and cases to other jusrisdictions and sub-departments, with the sole exception of everything Manafort. If Trump fires him, Mueller has ensured that the work will go on.
demsocialist
(202 posts)But I bet he hates his guts and loves his job. It is really Mueller Time now.

(89,249 posts)if he is disturbed it would be over the attacks on our elections and other selling out of the country. but it's as a patriot and love of country and not personal insults.

(707 posts)Sorry but a combat hardened Marine is not affected by mere words. Having grownup with a 30 year WWII Marine for a grandfather Im certain of that. Then there were my years in the Navy around them daily. When made fun of or picked at they only get this wry smile and then you know your fucked. They tend to not lash out emotionally and the older they are the more you are fucked with their deviousness but yelling like a kid on a playground will not be their response.

Robert Mueller doesnt have time to waste a single though on petty little liar Donnys tweets. Other than to use them as evidence.
