"The actual record, which is more complicated and more damning than either camp allows, has become its own kind of third rail. Not exonerated was the more legally precise claim Mueller said it explicitly on obstruction but it never achieved the same cultural velocity."
"Mueller's career stands in sharp contrast to the rhetoric that now surrounds him. A decorated Marine officer who earned a Bronze Star for valor and a Purple Heart in Vietnam, he went on to serve presidents of both parties at the highest levels of American law enforcement."
"He rebuilt the bureau after 9/11 into a modern intelligence agency while navigating the tension between national security and civil liberties. His reputation was for discipline, restraint, and an almost stubborn commitment to the rule of law."
Robert Mueller's death has reignited discussions about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
