>Just my opinion but makes the most sense to me at this juncture. What other reason would Mueller have visited the white house the day before he was appointed special counsel? We all know that it was not to interview for the opening of director of the FBI.
Or as Trump did with most of his appointments he sought Mueller's opinion on various candidates.
Trump is known to gather opinions inside and outside of his advisor circle, whether he acts on them is another issue….but the likes as much information as possible.
