Full title: Mueller engaged in 'total dereliction of duty' by failing to further investigate the Steele Dossier: Strassel
Suggesting that Special Counsel Robert Mueller tried covering for the FBI, Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel told Fox News host Bill Hemmer on Friday Mueller engaged in a "total dereliction of duty" by not further investigating the infamous Steele dossier.
"I think that what he did is a total dereliction of duty — that your job is to look into Russian interference in our elections and here is this central document which caused so much political mayhem for two years," she said on "America's Newsroom."
After noting concern over the dossier's potential ties to the Kremlin, she criticized Mueller for publishing his report without delving deeper into the Russia investigation's origins. "I'm not sure how you go there, except for with the intent purpose of shielding the FBI," she said.
Strassel speculated that Mueller didn't delve deeper into the dossier because he spent so many years leading the FBI. "Much of this document does read as a defense of the FBI," she said of the Mueller report.

The Mueller people to wasted $35 million and two years and ruined the lives of several innocent people. Yet they failed to verify any of the information on which their investigation was based.
The IG report is going to be interesting.
‘total dereliction of duty’
HOGWASH!, Get with the Program, it is Obstruction of Justice!!
FBI until now has refused to say what they knew about the Steele Dossier citing impact on the Mueller investigation.
And it turns out that Mueller didn’t use it, and look at any of the problems.
Mueller was a shield and a delaying tactic.
Mueller walks in on day one. “Okay, show me what you’ve got.”
Well, er nothing...
What?
It took him two years to reveal that to the public.
I’m surprised they didn’t throw in a few extra “anonymous tips”.
He said that no American colluded with the Russians but he did not explain why getting anti Trump dirt from the Russians and giving it to the FBI did not constitute collusion with the Russians.
Strong words for Kimberly.
Dereliction is not something that you engage in. It is passive based on something that you don’t do. I don’t like sloppy language and so I will not read the article.
The central document to the entire investigation and he didn’t examine an iota of its provenance. Or ... he knew exactly what it was and where it came from and wanted to hide that just as much as its authors did.
Not much middle ground on this for him to stand on.
Hmmm. Engaged is not part of the quote. FTA: “I think that what he did is a total dereliction of duty — that your job is to look into Russian interference in our elections and here is this central document which caused so much political mayhem for two years,” she said on “America’s Newsroom.”
Pretty sure that it’s on record that Mueller was only allowed to investigate what Rod Rosenstein approved of.
Yes, in a sane world he has problems.
