The Godlike mystique of Robert Mueller

*It’s assumed he knows far more about things than anyone else will ever know

*No one ever hears he himself physically talking (at least since the investigation began)

*However on occasions he will have others talk on his behalf

*No one knows exactly what he is thinking

*No one knows exactly what he plans on doing

*No one knows exactly when he plans on doing whatever he does

*Despite all this, ordinary people will do their best to attempt to interpret what they think he knows, and what he plans on doing, how he plans on doing it and when he plans on doing it

If the whole Trussia affair and resulting investigation were not an actual news story but instead was simply a work of fiction I had come up with, most people would accuse me of being rather heavy handed with the God Metaphor when it comes to Robert Mueller.

The fact that it isn’t fiction makes Mueller all the more intriguing figure to me.

… a good reputation. I'll wait to see what he does... he, Barr, Rosenstein, Comey, Sessions, Whittaker, etc... are all Republicans.
