What infuriates me the most about TSF's Mueller tweet

Is that he implies he is an innocent party that Mueller harassed (and therefore that justifies his nasty comment).

He IS NOT INNOCENT.

Trump is a practiced liar and skilled confidence man. It's what he does. His deceptive arguments always rely on initial assumptions which are untrue, employing the "illusory truth effect," repeating the same lies till his listeners believe they are true.

Not ever.
In his sick head, from childhood he has always been right and has never been guilty of anything - ever.

to protect Democracy and stop criminality regardless of its source. Neither did that when they had the power. Both protected Trump in some way. And Trump hates them both because they were not 100% willing to lie and protect him.

Both tried to play it in the middle - neither protected Democracy.

not office holders. It’s as if they are afraid to expose the corrupt for fear of exposing the flaws in the system. They do way more harm than good showing respect to crooked criminal politicians and weakening the entire system.
Maybe Lenin and Parenti were not wrong about The Capitalist State

... on Mueller's authority as a Special Counsel, and he operated within those parameters. He could ONLY investigate.
Comey, on the other hand, violated hard and fast rules when he sandbagged Hillary Clinton. Big difference. Garland was a milquetoast AG.

Do not have the force of law. And particularly given that Barr misrepresented his report, and the matters under investigation were so serious, there was clear justification for Mueller to go to the press and to Congress, and speak out forcefully.

Most people will not do this because they fear the consequences or for other reasons. But it is the right thing for a person to do if he expects to be viewed with honor.

... a pathological liar whose "tell" is his vituperative accusations of decent, honest people like Mueller. He always attacks those people he knows, down deep inside, are better than he has ever been, or ever could be. I'd say he's a snake, but I wouldn't want to disparage Serpens with such a pejorative comparison.

He's the one who manipulated Mueller's report to hide it's actual findings.
