The report established that the special counsel’s office was complicit in the FISA abuse, the probe was a witch hunt, and its report was a cover-up for systematic government malfeasance.
Shortly after the release of the special counsel report last year, I posited that Robert Mueller’s failure to investigate whether Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election by feeding dossier author Christopher Steele disinformation established that Mueller was either incompetent or a political hack. Now, with the release of the inspector general’s report on FISA abuse, we know the answer: He was both.
The IG’s report on the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI’s handling of the Carter Page surveillance applications established 17 significant inaccuracies and omissions in the FISA application and renewals. (Eighteen if you include the one the IG missed). The 400-page report also established that the special counsel’s office was complicit in the FISA abuse, the probe was a witch hunt, and Mueller’s report was a cover-up for systematic government malfeasance.
Mueller Was As Bad as James Comey
Mueller’s appointment as special counsel prompted bipartisan praise, with the accolades focusing on his stellar reputation as the FBI director under Republican President George W. Bush and Democrat President Barack Obama. But Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report revealed a sad reality: The special counsel’s office under Mueller’s charge was just as inept at investigating the false charges of Russia collusion as the FBI was under James Comey’s lead.
As the IG report noted, “on May 17, 2017, the Crossfire Hurricane cases were transferred to the Office of the Special Counsel,” and the FBI agents and analysts then began working with the special counsel. A little more than a month later, the FBI asked the Department of Justice to seek a fourth extension of the Page surveillance order. That fourth

Mueller looked like a bumbling, clueless old fool during the hearings on his report last year. I began to feel he was merely brought back from pasture to put his “good name” on, and provide cover for, the trash that was being produced and controlled by others in the Special Counsel’s office.
As Sarah Palin popularized the lipstick on the pig.
Agreed. It was the people under him who had sinister motives. And yes, we are allowed to question their integrity since they were all Democrat supporters (in one fashion or another).
Certainly not fair and unbiased.
An even in spite of the obvious bias, the found nothing.
No straight-up investigation of Trump-Russian Collusion could fail to start with determining the sources and validity of the charges. That would have necessarily unraveled all the Brennan machinations, the FISA fraud, etc.
Rosenstein and the Coup Team wrote the SC authorization to assure that the “predicate” was not even considered. Mueller deliberately omitted the possibility that the Steele Dossier and the charges themselves were a Russian interference operation. Doing otherwise would have exposed Russian and Ukrainian collusion with Clinton and the Dems. This was a matter of devious intent, masquerading as incompetence.
Mule face SHOULD be in PRISON
