Robert Mueller's Four Values: Public Service, Integrity, Humility, and Patience

in 2017 Robert Mueller gave the commencement for his Granddaughter's high school graduation. he gave the speech after he was appointed special counsel for the current investigation, but the speech was planned before that. Everything he talks about is the total opposite of the "stable genius". I guess this makes him evil among some since he didn't list "god, faith, belief, jesus, guns".


<Former FBI director Robert S. Mueller III urged a tent full of high school graduates in this seaside town Monday afternoon to go out into the world with integrity because without that nothing matters.

Standing on stage Monday inside a heated tent on the school’s grassy lawn, Mueller spoke about four values he learned as Marine and while leading the FBI: public service, integrity, humility, and patience.

He told how a college lacrosse teammate inspired him to join the Marines, how his wife taught him to be more patient, and how a selfless FBI colleague kept him humble. Mueller told the students to find ways to give back, no matter where their lives lead.

“The way in which you choose to serve is not that important, only that you work to better your country and your community,” he said.

Mueller spoke slowly, pausing for emphasis. He said he has been surprised about where life has taken him.

It’s not what you, do, Mueller told students, but how you do it.

“You can be smart, aggressive, articulate, indeed persuasive,” Mueller said “but if you are not honest, your reputation will suffer and once lost, a good reputation can never, ever be regained.”>
