In reply to the discussion: Mueller Was Not Up to the Task -- Not Close [View all]kentuck
(110,947 posts)52. It is something to ponder...
I think the Republicans believed they could control him when he was first chosen to be the Special Counsel. Also, I believe many Democrats were aware that he might not have the stamina to do the investigation that needed to be done? I think this explains why the investigation may have been weighted somewhat with Democratic assistants for him. They felt they had to protect him and the investigation from Republican interference. They also felt the need to cover more ground than Mueller may have done if left to his own pace?
Just my opinion.

Why are such top posts allowed to remain when they sound like Republican or Russian trolling?

Why would you expect it to be "crisp?" He's an attorney, many of which are dry and non witty

Did anyone ask a question of Zebley, the guy that actually ran the day to day inquiry?

Well, my take is that those questioning spoke too fast and often aimed down at their table...
