Good Agent, Bad Agent: Robert Mueller and 9-11
Mueller, a Republican, was appointed by George W. Bush to head the FBI, and took the helm on September 4, 2001, one week before the terrorist attacks. So he can hardly be blamed for the failure of the FBI.
The same cannot be said for Mueller’s role in the subsequent coverup of FBI and White House bungling during the run up to 9/11.
Yet in testimony before the Joint Inquiry on June 18, 2002, FBI director Mueller said, that “while here [in America] the hijackers effectively operated without suspicion, triggering nothing that would have alerted law enforcement and doing nothing that exposed them to domestic coverage.” There is no way of knowing whether Mueller was lying or just ignorant.
So much for Robert Mueller remaining above the political fray. And so much for the Bureau’s supposed independence and incorruptibility.
But with Trump now locked in a knock down drag out struggle with the intelligence agencies–what some people like to call “the Deep State”–Mueller and his intelligence cronies may find it in the best interests of the status quo–and, of course, themselves–to throw the President under the bus and one way Mueller could do so is by cutting some sort of deal with Congress, specifically with the legislature’s true power broker, Mitch McConnell, to turn on Trump and run him out of office.
