ICYMI: Robert Mueller Lied to Congress, Said He Wasn't Pursuing FBI Job But Actually Was

Linkedin Share

Here’s a story involving former Special Counsel Robert Mueller that only has a little to do with Russia, if you can believe that. Apparently, Mueller lied to Congress.

You see, a couple of years ago Mueller met with President Trump at the White House. He was interested in becoming director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in light of James Comey having been shown the door.

But when Mueller was asked by Congress if he was pursuing the job back in 2017, he said no. He apparently lied. He reportedly was in pursuit.

From Fox News:

Multiple administration officials tell Fox News that when Robert Mueller met with President Trump in May of 2017, Mueller was indeed pursuing the open post as the director of the FBI – something the former Russia probe special counsel denied under oath during congressional testimony this summer.

These officials also told Fox News government documents showed Mueller was pursuing the job as a candidate himself.

It came as emails released this month through a Freedom of Information Act request by the conservative group Judicial Watch seemed to indicate Mueller knew there was a real possibility he could be named special counsel if he wasn’t chosen as the next FBI director.

You know how the “Mueller Report” completely vindicated Trump’s 2016 campaign of all collusion with Russia?

Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan doesn’t see it that way.

According to John, the Mueller report that clears Trump actually proves Trump colluded with the Kremlin.

So, figure that one out.

Trump highlighted the fact that he was vindicated:

Enter Brennan:

A more accurate summation: much collusion with Russia yet insufficient evidence to establish criminal conspiracy; extensive evidence of your efforts to obstruct justice, with Congress determining ultimate accountability; many criminal investigations on related activities ongoing.
