Next is the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel of the investigation.

1. Mueller again is part of the inner circle of friends within the FBI who protect each other.

2. and THE SAME DAY Mueller interviewed with President Trump and was rejected for the FBI director position from which Comey (Mueller's friend again) was just fired, Rosenstein appointed Mueller to lead the special investigation. Both being an ally of Comey, and being rejected by Trump for the FBI director position are AT LEAST two reasons Mueller had to be hostile towar Trump in the investigation. More conflict of interest.

3. Further undermining Mueller's credibility is that he was previously FBI director for President George W. Bush, and expanding on exiting FBI director Tenet who infamously assured Bush that the Iraq invasion would be a "slam dunk", Mueller similarly continued the negligence and corruption that preceded his term as director. Plus many other corrupt and questionable actions throughout his career.

Democrats hated and vilified Mueller for years over this. But now that he's a weapon to attack a Republican, President Trump, he suddenly has 100% spotless credibility again.

4. Mueller also has a past case involving Russia where he gained ccoperation of a Russian oligarch that opens up another conflict of interest.

5. There's also the stained credibility of Mueller's previous convictions for 2 decades in the FBI along with Andrew Weissmann, in multiple cases such as prosecution of Enron and Arthur Andersen executives, where Mueller and Weissmann deliberately witheld exculpatory evidence and deliberately imprisoned innocent men, and (a familiar pattern to any follower of the Mueller special investigation) partially convicted them using perjury traps. Convictions which were, by the way, overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court by a 9-0 vote. Two of the men died in prison before their convictions were overturned. These are the prosecutors trusted to depose President Trump under oath.
