Dear Mr. Mueller,
It probably hasn’t escaped your attention (in my mind, nothing escapes your attention) that I play a version of you on “Saturday Night Live.” As “Robert Mueller,” my character is intimidating because he is so honest and upright. I do it for comic effect — that’s the intention anyway — but there’s also a lot of truth to it. To put it another way — it’s good-natured fun, but not entirely good-natured.
There’s a level of satire, directed at the current administration. To be fair, not everyone appreciates the humor. The president has tweeted that there’s “nothing funny about tired ‘Saturday Night Live’” and that it’s “very unfair and should be looked into,” even “tested in courts,” and “this is the real collusion!” Though what or with whom the show would be colluding is unclear. But then I don’t have to tell you about problems with the term “collusion.” You barely mention the word in your report, and then only to explain why you’re not using it. That could be a punch line on “Saturday Night Live.”
As I prepared for my role on the show, I got to know you a lot better. I read about your lifetime devotion to public service and your respect for the rule of law. I watched how you presided over the special counsel’s office apparently without leaks. And you never wavered, even in the face of regular vicious attacks from the president and his surrogates.

You are the voice of the Mueller report. Let the country hear that voice.
With great respect,
Robert De Niro

Well that was fast. Almost as if NYT knew what was coming.
Those two should get a room.
Methinks he doth protest too much.
Dear has been old actor:
FOAD.
Sincerely...
Robert Mueller.
Yawn. File under who cares what your washed up ass thinks.
Impossible! /sarc
Wasn’t he an Actor?? The first thing I do when something important happens is check to see what all the pretty people that have been pretending and living in make believe world, think about it.
Its like taking away a junkie’s heroin. They NEED to hear more of the BS the media was spreading to feed their hate. It is pitiful.
That sneering homunculus needs to shut the...heck up.

High school drop out writes Op-Ed for NYT? Probably no more ignorant than their other hacks.
Bobby D,
There is so much more we need to know about you. Are you a percent? Did you help Harvey rape women? We need an investigation into you. Sure, there is no evidence. But the charges are serious and, don’t worry, I am sure we will turn something up.
As with most Hollywood employees this is a very low intelligence individual...
I want to hear more too. How about demanding Mueller appear before Congress under oath or hold a real news conference?
Uh, DeNiro, if you have to explain your “satire”, you aren’t doing it right...
De Niro = one man case for conceal and carry.
Of course not. NYT/Dems likely wrote it but attached his byline.
De Niro is far from respectful.
