Robert Mueller Has Been Botching Investigations Since The Anthrax Attacks


Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the anthrax attacks following 9/11 -- one of the most important of his career -- did not go well, to say the least.

Mystery surrounds Robert Mueller and his investigation into Russia and President Trump. Some think he is the ultimate professional, others that he is a Democrat lackey, still others maintain he is working on Trump’s side.
We can see how he works if we look at how Mueller ran his second-most important investigation as FBI Director. In September of 2001, an entity began mailing anthrax through the US Postal system, hitting such prominent targets as NBC and Senator Daschle’s office. The terrorist attacks killed five and left others hospitalized. The world panicked.

Under Mueller’s management, the FBI launched an investigation lasting ten years. They now brag about spending “hundreds of thousands of investigator hours on this case.” Let’s take a closer look at Mueller’s response to understand the context of the investigation — who his people investigated, targeted, and found guilty.

The anthrax letters began just a week after the 9/11 attack. While planning the airplane hijackings, Al-Qaeda had been weaponizing anthrax, setting up a lab in Afghanistan manned by Yazid Sufaat, the same man who housed two of the 9/11 hijackers. Two hijackers later sought medical help due to conditions consistent with infection via anthrax: Al Haznawi went to the emergency room for a skin lesion which he claimed was from “bumping into a suitcase,” and ringleader Mohamed Atta needed medicine for “skin irritation.” A team of bioterrorism experts from John Hopkins confirmed that anthrax was the most likely cause of the lesion. Meanwhile, the 9/11 hijackers were also trying to obtain crop-dusting airplanes.

So how did Mueller’s investigative team handle the case?

Mueller issued a statement in October of 2001, while anthrax victims were still dying: the FBI had found “no direct link to organized terrorism.” The John Hopkins team of experts was mistaken, the FBI continued, Al Haznawi never had an anthrax infection. The crop-dusting airplanes they needed was possibly for a separate and unrelated anthrax attack.

[...]

Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, one of the intended victims of the anthrax terror attacks, did not believe that Ivins was the sole actor. Mueller ordered an independent audit of the FBI’s case by the National Academy of Science, then formally closed the case in 2010, sticking with the conclusion that Ivins, and Ivins alone, committed the terror attack. One year later the NAS released their results and confirmed what many scientists had been repeating for years: the FBI’s science and conclusions were not solid.

A former FBI official involved in the investigation sued the FBI, alleging the FBI concealed evidence exculpatory to Ivins.

Mueller made his position known, saying, “I do not apologize for any aspect of this investigation,” and stated that the FBI had made no mistakes.

The investigation was an unmitigated disaster for America. Mueller didn’t go after al-Qaida for the anthrax letters because he couldn’t find a direct link. But then he targeted American citizens without showing a direct link. For his deeds, he had the second longest tenure as FBI Director ever, and was roundly applauded by nearly everyone (except Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert).

Now he’s running the Trump-Russia investigation.

The “What about the Democrats ?” defense.

Priceless....

[The Big Dunn]

Mueller is as republican as McCain... Please tell us all how “republican” John McCain is.

This is amazing. A man who is probably at best 30 years old (if older I am surprised but wrong and will wear that) is questioning whether John McCain and Mueller are Republicans when they have worked for and supported the party for longer than he has been alive.

Then you have the forum's resident idiot support that theory by wondering "If Mueller is a Republican, why does he have all those Democrats working for him but no Republicans?"

Since when did the political affiliation of people you work with become a litmus test for being a Republican?

How do you know Mueller's politics?

How do you know Mueller's politics?

I see the people he chose to surround himself with and the people on the Special Counsel. I see that he went after Manafort, for example, on something totally unrelated to Russian collusion and just went digging. He indicted several people on a free for all expedition. He is dirty, his past investigations were unethical and stained of failure, and he will be embarrassed when all is said and done.

Because you are a realist, and not a superfan.

The fact is the investigation is chock full of D investigators, and I don't even think there's one R on the team. Sounds like the epitome of a biased politcal investigation.

He is dirty, his past investigations were unethical and stained of failure, and he will be embarrassed when all is said and done.

Exactly.

Not only the example you cited, but iirc all the ENRON convictions achieved were thrown out due to prosecutorial misconduct.

That, and several of the many Ds on Mueller's team have had to resign.

This guy is a dirty clown, with a dirty biased team, on a fishing expedition.

Though I don't think it would be wise politically, I'll laugh if Trump fires Mueller.

Couldn't find Trump jr thread...damn his wife soon to be ex wife is very hot. Just goes to show how blondes go to the $$$ every time.

Wait, who told you thats how law enforcement works?

If police investigates you for murder and through that they find out that your brother is a drug dealer, they get to charge him dude !

More importantly, how does Mueller keep getting all those posts if he is such a failure?

Is it at all possible that he surrounded himself with people based on their competence and not based on their political affiliation?

Trump has made you people (his fans) turn into ******s who believe political affiliation is the one and only thing that matters in the world.

[AllBoxingAD]

Plus its completely illogical for Trump's fans to denigrate Mueller.

They believe there is no collusion.

Therefore they must also believe that the investigation will prove his innocence.

So why trash the man who will ultimately clear Trump of any wrongdoing?
