I find it disconcerting that so many people place their partisan ideologies over common sense and mutual Constitutional rights that we should all defend.
Sheep to slaughter is the appropriate analogy.
A lot of you need to work on your reading comprehension skills, as a few of you constantly ask questions that are clearly answered in the first place. Though I'm sure much of that is intentional.
All those deep state FBI and DOJ officials (plus a wife) refusing to answer simple questions and pleading the Fifth?
Almost makes you think they might have something to hide, doesn't it?
If I were Mueller, I would have a chat with Nellie Ohr and ask her what she was doing at Fusion GPS and if she ever met Natalia Veselnitskaya.
I would also explain to Glenn Simpson that if he refuses to answer my questions, I'll be forced to get the information I seek from all the people that would likely finger him.
The same goes for Strzok, McCabe, Page, Ohr and Ohr, Brennan, Comey, Rosenstein, Baker, Lynch, Rice, et. al.
Of course, Mueller isn't interested in what really happened.
He has a fairy tale to produce.
You don't get it.
Mueller cannot investigate any thing but the single affair he was charged to look at.
That affair was the Russian interference in the 2016 election. That, and only that one affair was his responsibility to investigate. He did not volunteer to come out of retirement to head the team. He was requested to be the leader and he accepted.
He cannot investigate anything but this one matter. If there are tangents that spin off from it within the DOJ that involve former or present DOJ officials, unless those officials have some direct connecting evidence that Mueller's team has found all by itself, Mueller can't widen his investigation.
It's forbidden by the laws he is working under. But if others within the DOJ are involved in some way that is outside of Mueller's purview, then the Attorney General can authorize someone else to investigate them.
And that investigator has to do exactly the same thing as Mueller. He cannot go beyond the boundaries of his own investigation.
For any investigation to be authorized, there has to be sufficient evidence of a crime that has been committed to proceed. The DOJ can find that preliminary evidence on its own, but once found, it must go to Congress for authorization to create a Special Investigation. Congress then oversees the investigation once it is authorized, and Congressional oversight committees make the final determination on what to do once the investigation's report is received.
Mueller is not responsible for prosecuting anyone he uncovers. That's the DOJ's job, or the job of a State or Federal court, depending on what the findings present.
Robert Mueller is not the Lone Ranger. He cannot come to town, arrest the Sheriff, and clean the town up. He does not have those powers. If the crooked Sheriff has henchmen that are suspicious but there is no evidence connecting them directly to the Sheriff, the Lone Ranger could go get 'em, but Mueller can't.

That's a pretty good way of putting it that even I can understand.
