Am I the only one who has a HUGE crush on Robert Mueller???

[CatWoman]

that guy is just AWESOME

[spooky3]

1. Im forming a line behind you!

[Sanity Claws]

2. Several of us feel the same way

and we are about as diverse a group as you can imagine.

[flor-de-jasmim]

3. Absolutely brilliant! Glad he uses his powers for GOOD!

[onecaliberal]

4. Youre in good company.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. I find him fascinating. Don't know how he'll end things, but he is fascinating.

Perhaps because he's so silent and quiet about things.

All we see of him is news reels of him walking, and yet you know he knows so much more than we do at this point.

He's like a mysterious literary character, larger than life and yet shrouded in mystery.

He's an unspoken, omnipresent force and the perfect counterbalance to Trump's pomposity.

[smirkymonkey]

6. I find him quite handsome for an older gentleman. Something about him reminds me

a little bit of John Kerry.

[whathehell]

29. Me too..

.and I also see the resemblance to JK.

[fleur-de-lisa]

7. Tall, smart and quiet.

My kinda' guy!

[AtomicKitten]

8. Mueller helped Bush/Cheney make the case for preemptive war in Iraq.

https://m.

[CatWoman]

9. Damn. Just damn.

I wasn't aware of that

[pnwmom]

16. The FBI accepted the conclusions of the other intelligence agencies and Colin Powell.

The FBI collected information within the US -- other agencies like the CIA operated in Iraq, and the FBI supported them.

I think it's very interesting that TYT is trying to discredit Mueller now. They were also attacking Hillary during her campaign.

[StevieM]

17. I won't be worshipping Mueller. But he does seem to be much better than James Comey or Ken Starr.

Those guys were horrible.

[whathehell]

31. It's possible to like and admire someone without "worshipping" him

Just sayin:.

[StevieM]

44. Agreed. But the point of my post was that James Comey and Ken Starr do not deserve

to be liked and admired. They deserve to be recognized as opponents of democracy.

[Lulu KC]

36. Yes, it is interesting and--

don't have time to look it up right now, but slightly later in the video Mueller also says that invading Iraq will create other problems. As I recall, he saw the dangers that have materialized, while accepting the intelligence that Colin Powell had presented. I would like to hear what he thinks of all of it now.

And yes, very interesting to watch the suspicion of Mueller emerging. Makes me wonder.

[whathehell]

32. Quite a few people made a mistake on the war in Iraq

including some prominent Democrats....Just sayin'.

[peggysue2]

10. Don't know about a crush but . . .

I have a great deal of respect for the way Mueller's playing his considerable hand. I certainly wouldn't be 'the subject' under his microscope.

[former9thward]

12. Prosecutors often over reach and over charge.

Mueller is no different. After the 9/11 anthrax killings Mueller made Steven Hatfill the "subject" of his investigation. He hounded Hatfill for years. Finally Hatfill sued the DOJ and won $5.8 million because of their conduct. Muller then made another man his "subject" in the case and he ultimately killed himself. The case is still unsolved.

[pnwmom]

15. But Mueller doesn't. You've found the one case that his detractors mention over and over

because there's so little to criticize him for.

[former9thward]

18. I would say that is a big one.

When your conduct costs almost $6 million and drives another to suicide. And he has never apologized for any of it.

[pnwmom]

20. What conduct are you referring to? Did he violate any of the regulations of his job?

Yes, Mueller's prosecutor made a serious mistake in targeting Hatfill.

But Mueller's prosecutor didn't lead Bruce Ivins, the virologist who was really behind the anthrax attack, to commit suicide. The virologist's guilty conscience led him to take his own life.

[former9thward]

35. Glad you have declared him guilty.

He was never charged and the crime remains unsolved today. Scientists said Ivins did not have the skills to turn lab anthrax into an inhalable powder and he had no motive for mailing it to the various people and offices. The FBI later said over 400 people had access to the lab.

[pnwmom]

37. You declared Mueller guilty of driving him to suicide. He killed himself while the

investigation was ongoing, and there was more than adequate reason for a serious investigation of him.

[peggysue2]

19. I don't see Mueller overplaying his hand in this matter

He referred it to the Federal prosecutors in NY and the warrants-from what I've read--required substantial 'cause' for the raid to proceed.

Strange that this is the second 'dump on Mueller' response I've seen on DU today.

I also don't see Michael Cohen as a suicide risk. More of a flight risk. These people are all dirty. They threw an election, they've been involved with money laundering (blood money) and the Russian Mob.

I'm sure Mueller has made mistakes in the past. That being said, it's been reported that the Trumpster wanted dirt on Mueller and Comey. Then was outraged when none turned up.

From where I'm sitting, Mueller is on the money with this investigation, unraveling the skien, slowly but surely, then reversing the direction as each individual is examined, questioned and determinations made. Frankly, that's the only thing I care about at the moment: reeling these crooks in with the Rule of Law. Then throwing the Book at all of them when the time is right.

This will not end well for the Trumpsters. I'll save my sympathy for the people who have been ripped off and damaged by Don the Con and his odious acolytes and inner circle, the people who thought it was okay to sell the country out if the price was right.

Dumping on Mueller and his investigators is not going to work at this late stage.

[former9thward]

22. So in your view what will be "reeling these crooks in with the Rule of Law"

That is an extremely vague statement.

[peggysue2]

23. Proving involvement . . .

with sound evidence, an airtight, lawful case against all these weasels to defraud the United States of America, money laundering, racketeering. Among other things.

Concrete enough for you?

Honestly, what is this suspicion about Mueller and his team all about? Or are you in the Deep State camp, that the ongoing investigation itself is a conspiracy by nefarious actors and that Putin's Russia, that bastion of individual freedom and democracy, is being unfairly scapegoated?

I want the people who f**ked with our election brought to justice. I want the mob ties and criminality exposed and rooted out. I also want Trump neutered in November before he does even more damage to our institutions.

What do you want?

[Glimmer of Hope]

11. I have seen him in person and can confirm that he is handsome and has a towering presence.

[pnwmom]

13. It started for me when I saw his graduation address to the students at his granddaughters

prep school, Tabor. He talked about the importance of family, humility, integrity, etc. and I realized he meant every word he said, and that he was the ANTI-TRUMP.

[anneboleyn]

14. I feel like a dork posting this but...

There are also pics of the younger Robert Mueller out there (when he was in Vietnam and when he was in school, playing sports, etc). Second pic also has a young John Kerry in it as they went to school together.

[demtenjeep]

21. Kerry should have been president not dumbass w. We could have had Kerry then Obama

and he would still be president now


Course Gore should have won in 2000

Just think Gore 2000-2008
then Kerry 2008-2016
Then Obama till 2024

just think of what could have been.

[whathehell]

33. You're not a dork, lol

He was cute, and is still attractive., I agree.

[Exotica]

40. nice find! I didn't know they were schoolboy mates

[raven mad]

24. No, you're not...but I'll share. n/t

[Exotica]

25. I just want him to help remove shitstain from our national nightmare

Zero feelings about "crushin'"

Of course I am also a lesbi and he is older than both my grandfathers, so there's that too, lol.

[whathehell]

27. He' is "older than both" of your grandfathers -- Really?

Are you sure you're old enough to be on this site?

[Exotica]

38. I am 23, Mueller is 74 in August, one my grandfathers is 68, the other turns 72 on May Day

so close, but yes

[whathehell]

39. Got it..

[whathehell]

26. No you're not!

I think he's great, even if he is a Republican.

[Miles Archer]

28. I think of him as just a friend, but...

...yes, an AWESOME friend.





More than one journalist has referred to him as the 2018 Eliot Ness, and I think that's more than apt. The guy is fearless, and when you consider what we actually "know" about his investigation, versus what he's actually accomplished, I think we are in for shock and awe.

[JNelson6563]

30. He has a quiet confidence that appeals to all ages.

Confidence can be sexy but it can also be very reassuring. He has it in spades and it seems unspoiled by arrogance.

[Skittles]

34. no

[CatWoman]

43. stop being a mean girl, Skittles

[Skittles]

45. he's just so....mmmmm.....mmmmm

I love those quiet, intelligent types

[Tipperary]

41. No.

I have not had a “crush”on any political figure ever. And although I voted for and supported President Obama, I never had a crush on him either. I do not miss all the shirtless pics of him posted by the swooners on this site.

[Catherine Vincent]

42. I'd be careful with that. :)

A lot of us had a crush on Fitzgerald a while back and that didn't turn out well. It was a dud.

[Skittles]

46. giving Mueller points just for having Trump INC shitting bricks

I do agree be careful what you wish for; we have been burned SOOOO many times
