Robert Mueller has a long and sordid history of illicitly targeting innocent people that is a stain upon the legacy of American jurisprudence. If you parse the sentence, .....innocent people that is the stain.... makes no sense. It does not imply anyting. Why cant he get the sentence right the first time? Better to write ...targeting innocent people and this is a stain...

I would switch "which" for "that"--better grammar. 😉

Robert Mueller has a long and sordid history of illicitly targeting innocent people, a stain upon the legacy of American jurisprudence!
And follow with snark aimed at federal pigs such as Comey's counsel Robert Fitzgerald, whose life's achievement (putting away Scooter Libby) just got undone by POTUS, or Mueller's #1 goon Andrew Weissmann. Or Mueller himself.

Yes, “stain” refers back to “history”, which are both singular. It is crystal clear unless you take the words out of context.
