Mueller’s criminal incompetence

Everybody knows how badly the FBI bungled the anthrax attack investigation, which was personally run by Mueller. That was a doozy, Mueller chased the wrong guy, Hatfill, on dubious evidence, while a pile of real evidence remained unexamined. This was especially incompetent because to find the right guy (Ivens) he only had to pick from out of a pool — of like 10 total possible suspects!

Mueller even leaked the wrong guy’s name (Hatfill sued and got big money) to the press, I have always believed Mueller did this on purpose, to save himself, because he couldn’t break the case, and thought he could “smoke out” Hatfill with the pressure of being a suspect. Apparently Mueller believes the public deserves a conviction, regardless of whether he has real evidence his perp — did the crime. This is a bad behavior pattern for Trump, foreshadowing trouble on the Russian collusion investigation.

Some people, mostly west coasters know about his failure to convict (wait for it) the Hell’s Angels — of anything! — after a multi-year trial.

Of course, he was also responsible as a leader — for the FBI’s failure on 9-11.

This guy is no super cop — and should be instead — a case study in how incompetence seems to rise to the top at the FBI. The story I’ve excerpted below is however, news to me. It seems likely after reading this — that wherever great mistakes are made by the FBI, life changing mistakes with huge errors in judgment, we find the same idiot G-man, Robert Mueller the III.

Here is Sara Carter, from a really long piece she did on Mueller recently.

She should get a Pulitzer:

Local law enforcement officials, the media, and some colleagues criticized Mueller and the FBI for what they believed was the bureau’s role in covering up for the FBI’s longtime dealings with mobster and informant James “Whitey” Bulger. Bulger was a kingpin and a confidential informant for the FBI from the 1970s in the bureau’s efforts to take down the Italian mafia in Boston. But Bulger’s relationship with his FBI handler Special Agent John Connolly became toxic. It was later discovered that Connolly went out of his way to protect Bulger and aided the crime boss against investigations being conducted by the Boston PD and the Massachusetts State Police. According to reports at the time, Connolly would inform Bulger of wiretaps and surveillance being conducted by law enforcement. Journalist Kevin Cullen wrote extensively about the FBI’s involvement with Bulger and raised concerns about the old case in a 2011 article in Boston.com after Obama asked Congress to make an exception to allow Mueller to stay on two-extra years beyond the mandated 10 year limit as FBI director. Cullen said in his story that Mueller who was first an assistant US attorney, “then as the acting US attorney in Boston” had written “letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four men framed by FBI lies. Of course, Mueller was also in that position while Whitey Bulger was helping the FBI cart off his criminal competitors even as he buried bodies in shallow graves along the Neponset.”

Mueller was involved with covering up for Bulger, who literally got away with serial murder, and escaped justice as a fugitive — for decades! Carter continues:

In 2001, those four men, who were convicted in 1965 of Teddy Deegan’s murder were exonerated by the courts. It was discovered that the FBI withheld evidence from the court to protect their informant that would have cleared the men, according to reports. At the time, the bureau buried the truth to protect Vincent “Jimmy’’ Flemmi, their informant, who was the brother of Stevie Flemmi, a partner of Bulger.

The FBI (Mueller) withheld evidence that got four innocent men convicted of murder, and this clown Mueller, then got promoted! And President Bush, essentially on the same stupidity level as Mueller, was the guy that made him FBI Director.

Coleen Rowley, a former FBI special agent and former Minneapolis Division legal counsel of the FBI, wrote an Op-Ed in the Huffington Post last year No, Robert Mueller and James Comey Aren’t Heroes stated that when the truth about Bulger “was finally uncovered through intrepid investigative reporting and persistent, honest judges, U.S. taxpayers footed a $100 million court award to the four men framed for murders committed by (the FBI operated) Bulger gang.” But according to Cullen, Mueller never was asked by Congress, “what did you know about Whitey Bulger, and when did you know it?”

Congress needs to ask those questions today.

Senator Rand Paul is correct, the FBI, and Mueller, are out of control, and apparently have always been out of control.

This was a presidential coup attempt carried out by criminals at the top of the FBI, and we the American people, have as our Special Counsel — investigating the victim — one of the criminal conspirators!

Wait until you hear Mueller’s defense for withholding evidence in Boston, it will the scare the daylights out of you on this Russia investigation.

U.S. District Judge Nancy Gertner in Boston said the bureau helped convict the four men of a crime they did not commit, and the three of them had been sentenced to die in the electric chair. “This case goes beyond mistakes, beyond the unavoidable errors of a fallible system,” Gertner wrote in a 228-page decision, which called the FBI’s defense — that Massachusetts was to blame for an inadequate investigation — “absurd,” according to Cullen’s article.

Holy shit, Mueller isn’t just horribly wrong most of the time, he is pathologically unable to admit it. “Gertner…called the FBI’s defense — that Massachusetts was to blame for an inadequate investigation — “absurd.” This is bad news for Trump, this guy is crazy.

Schoen noted for these reasons alone there should be concern about Mueller’s special counsel. “As I have mentioned before, under Mueller’s watch in Boston, the second most corrupt relationship between an FBI agent (John Connolly, now in prison for murder-related charges) and his information (Whitey Bulger) unfolded,” said Schoen. “Mueller was neck deep in it and has never answered the questions that the media asked rhetorically, but that should have been asked by a grand jury of Congressional Committee. Even such dubious sources as the NY Times, Boston Globe, and Huffington Post have demanded answers. Many have suggested he should never have been FBI Director.”

MANY HAVE SUGGESTED HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN FBI DIRECTOR.

No shit.
