...and why did they pick the close friend of the man that was fired? And why did he make it so problematic by hiring the Clinton/Obama donors? Why no Trump donors or conservatives? Why no balance?
I do not believe that any person actually keeps their politics out of this in Washington. I think that view is very naive. Look at Comey. he had the same kind of sterling rep about a year ago. I will guarantee you that there are a lot of FBI agents who would get a chuckle out of the notion of an "apolitical FBI director".
And regarding your point about how he was appointed by Bush.....how exactly is that relationship going between Trump and Bush? No bad blood there?
All of the people that chose Mueller are very unhappy that Trump got elected.
