  What did you want or expect him to do?

    This. He’s just achieved what Mueller achieved. Nothing.

      And how does that make him a bag of shit? He did what was in his power to do. He pursued the case for as long as he could. The DOJ decided to no longer pursue the case. So he pushed to have his report released. The lack of results doesn’t fall on him.

      And honestly, Mueller gets a lot of flack, but he very clearly laid out the evidence from the investigation. He didn’t have the authority to pursue charges of any kind. That would have required AG Barr and the DOJ to press charges.

      So there may be a lot of shit, but people seem to really misunderstand how that system works. Or willfully misrepresent how it functions. Or doesn’t function.

        It doesn’t make him a bag of shit. It’s just an award for achieving nothing. Something that if you saw it, you’d want to do something about it. But you can’t.
