Adding attorneys from the local US Attorney’s office as counsel of record is probably to prepare a fall-back defense if Mueller loses the legal argument over whether he was properly appointed and authorized.

If one steps back and looks at the broad scope of his mandate and the totality of his operation, Mueller really is running a de facto US Attorney operation. Which he can’t do under the statute or constitution without senate confirmation.

So if the judges find against him, Mueller is going to argue as a fall back that the cases he brought should not be dismissed but rather that by adding real, legally authorized attorneys to the prosecution the cases should be allowed to continue on even if Mueller is illegal.

Laughable, he actually thinks the prosecution’s will continue after he shuts down his operation? There will be Pardons and every one of those process cases. You think you’d be bright enough to know that.

Yea, enough is enough. Unfortunately, the left seems to be in charge of that. Has POTUS Trump picked an AG yet? I have heard of this guy named Sessions.

Mueller sees his job as destroying Trump, politically and personally, by any means necessary, legal or not.

Remember, Mueller and Weissman knowingly kept four innocent men in prison to protect Whitey Bulger.

It all depends on how much it pays him, of course.

Mueller wants the freedom to get on the talk show circuit before November, so he can cry how Trump prevented him from doing his job, and that’s why he has an incomplete. Just my guess. I wonder of Ken Starr would have done that and how the Lib media would have received him?
