Everyone is still giving Mueller the benefit of the doubt. Everyone is waiting for him to speak. Where is Mueller? In a bunker?
Emmet Sullivan saw how serious the evidence was and acted like a patriot. He didn't cut Flynn any slack. He called him a traitor and he ordered the release of redacted information to the public. Thank you Emmet.
Mueller handed over his report, his indictment of Trump and refused to call it, which has pushed us to the brink of a constitutional crisis. No one can explain why Mueller has not come forward to testify to congress which is very bizarre. He is the only one that clear the air and he decides to remain silent. Mueller saw all the crimes, the conspiracy, the obstruction and he should have treated it as an attack on our country. He should have called it, he should have brought Trump down because he's that big of a threat.
When and if Mueller testifies maybe he can give us a good reason for the way he has acted up to this point.

(6,075 posts)If Watt Earp had been like Mueller, he would have dutifully submitted a monthly status report detailing the deaths and injuries from firearms in Tombstone with suggestions that the Territory of Arizona should probaby do something about that.

(115,734 posts)Mueller is not a judge. Sullivan is. Big difference.

(18,486 posts)First of all, Mueller is an investigator, Judge Sullivan is a federal judge (and not usually referred to as "Emmett".).
And Mueller HAS spoken. It's in his report. He may speak again if he testifies. But giving public pronouncements beyond his report - especially when he's still a DOJ employee - is not only inappropriate, it's not his job.
It IS Judge Sullivan's job to speak publicly through his opinions and orders.

(46,736 posts)What is he loyal to? If he's an institutionalist, that means he follows process to the letter. That's convenient for him because all he did was gather information and hand it over to the man who is trying to bury it.
Now, what is Mueller's next move? Does he let it die where it's at? Does he protect the agency by doing nothing? Or does he have a higher sense of morality to country? Which means, does he deliver the information to the people it was meant for? What is he willing to do now, that he didn't do before?

(377 posts)that certain topics bring out the exact same people, without fail, to shut the conversation down. It is also funny how those same people almost always side with the Republicans. Impeachment NO. Mueller HE'S GREAT, or the snide what are you doing besides complaining online. Meanwhile Alabama, Missouri, Ohio well you get the picture.
