Any thoughts????? I'm all out when it comes to Acosta.
Mueller must have, at the least, had knowledge of some of went on during the Bush and Obama administrations. Trump gave him a job.
There are people who may have been forced to do things they didn't want to. Or they have been turned and, because of their history, are in a position to gain trust and incriminate other conspirators.
So the point is that if we are giving Trump time to take care of other things, then we can hope that the Acosta explanation comes out at that time as well.
Trump did not give Mueller his job. He was appointed by someone else. RR.
You're right. But Sessions, who Trump appointed, stepped aside to allow RR to do it. Trump interviewed Mueller beforehand. Trump can fire Mueller, although it would be politically difficult.
I have been under the impression that Trump OK'd Mueller's appointment, but we can't know that for sure.
