Mueller Led the FBI When Obama Forgeries Produced

HOW MUCH OF A “STRAIGHT SHOOTER” CAN HE BE?

In a 48-page essay written from his observations and interactions with now-former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX1) contended that the former FBI director “lacks the judgment and credibility to lead the prosecution of anyone.”

Written a number of months ago when Mueller was still actively pursuing the Trump-Russia “collusion” allegation and the extent to which Russia interfered in the 2016 election, Gohmert set forth more than a dozen examples of Mueller’s misconduct, politically-correct decision-making and penchant for “framing” innocent individuals, as Gohmert sees it, beginning in the 1980s with the Whitey Bulger case to the Russia investigation.

The essay, which contains frequent media citations along with Gohmert’s recounting of Mueller’s performance before, during and after he became FBI director under President George W. Bush, is unquestionably a scathing and non-neutral summary of Mueller’s public service.

At the time of his appointment as Special Counsel by then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Mueller was heartily lauded by many in Congress on both sides of the political aisle.

Mueller served as FBI director between September 2001 and September 2013. By congressional statute, the FBI director serves a ten-year term. In 2011, Obama requested of and received from Congress a two-year extension on Mueller’s service.

In September 2013, former U.S. Attorney and Deputy Attorney General James B. Comey was confirmed as Mueller’s successor.  Comey and Mueller had worked closely together, Gohmert wrote, with Mueller acting as a “mentor” to Comey as their careers crossed paths over the years.

Among Mueller’s transgressions, Gohmert said, are the 2008 prosecution of the late U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens; FBI raids on congressional offices and the daughter of former U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon; the FBI’s failure to prevent the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing despite warning signs; its false identification of Dr. Steven Hatfill as the sender of envelopes laced with anthrax in the wake of the 9/11 attacks; and the purging of terms from FBI training manuals which Muslim groups in the U.S. found offensive during the Obama years.

“The framing of Scooter Libby,” a “cultivated atmosphere of Mueller’s FBI” regarding its “outreach efforts” to radical Islamic organizations, and “the Five-Year-Up-or-Out program” which ousted FBI agents not promoted within five years are three more examples of what Gohmert found to have led to ” the kind of abuses and corruption being unearthed right now that occurred during the Obama administration” (p. 16), referring to the Russia investigation.

On June 12, Gohmert spoke about his research and observations to Judicial Watch’s public affairs coordinator, Bruce Schlesman, as well as the crisis at the Mexico-U.S. border in the form of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens seeking entry to the U.S. since last October.

If Trump had a backbone, he would eliminate the FBI, and fold what would be kept into Homeland.  With roughly 430+ agencies and bureaus in the federal government, it is time we begin to consolidate the many siloes and streamline government, particularly those branches that violate our laws.

Eliminate everyone above first line supervision and merge it into Homeland.

Best way to end the political nonsense is to get rid of the perps that are alive and well.

All of that would definitely help Trump lead, but are you going to be comfortable with those precedents once we have another Democrat in office?

At a minimum, every current occupant of the 7th-floor offices in the FBI building in Washington should be summarily fired, the building fumigated, and the offices refilled with people from field offices in places like Lincoln Nebraska.
