Much-vaunted Robert Mueller’s record shows bad investigations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American Thinker: As President Trump deliberates on whether to be interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a look at Mueller’s record of indicting ham sandwiches ought to give him pause.

Mueller, as The Federalist points out, botches high-profile cases and can drag them out for a decade. Reporter Daniel Ashman found this case with Mueller’s name on it, the anthrax attacks case dating back to 2001. That was when some maniac or terrorist, some beast, sent anthrax powder in the mail to news agencies, injuring people who opened the packages. I worked at Forbes magazine in New York at the time and remember how the mail was quarantined, depriving us of that communication line, and I remember how terrified people were at this nasty coda to the horrific 9/11 terror attacks.

The Federalist reports:

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 Johns 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.

So even though the likeliest blame pointed to al Qaida’s 9/11 attackers, not just from the acts observed, but because terrorists just love dancing around a second time in the wake of a new attack, following the buzz they got from their initial attacks, Robert Mueller pursued other, more politically correct targets, such as white men in government agencies.  more here

  1. This will drag on enough until there is no possibility of Obama or Hillary doing time. The game plan was she would win and nobody of consequence would be asked any questions about anything.

    She lost to chants of “lock her up” so the MSM needs something to have the nation look at until Trump is out of office. Just the wire taps alone are worse than Watergate and then there is Fast & furious, the sale of uranium, Seth Rich and the list goes on and on and on. As will Muller’s “investigation”.

    I think we have reached the point in our Republic that the Romans did when solutions came at the edge of a blade. I’m not calling for violence- its just the corrupt are using laws to punish the innocent while at the same time protecting themselves with the very laws they ignore and or break wantonly.

    I’m talking about crooked politicians who got mixed up in the rackets and got what was coming to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qvpcfYFHcw

    Good to know government is only resorting to enforcing their deals with The Comfy Cushion. I too would hate people not winning what they stake.
