9. He's under more pressure than most of us could take

And the entire time he was doing the investigation he was aware that Trump was determined to fire him. Then his good friend, Barr, doesn’t let him finish the investigation. Then Barr redacted the report and released only his, Barr’s, summary of the report and Trump preempt the entire report by declaring Mueller said he was innocent.

I wonder how most of us would handle it. He’s probably extremely exhausted. He had to be thorough and truthful AND he had to keep it quiet. No leaks allowed. And even after the report is finished we don’t hear of a single leak.

Few people know that kind of sustained pressure. He brought down some big names too. Some who are doing time now. His work will bring down more people, including Trump, in time.
