CNN can't get his name right, is it Robert or Bob? They keep saying Bob. lol

Bob is shortened Robert. Like people who are named Richard are also known as Dick.

Uh...Bob is a nickname for Robert.
edit: beaten

 

[kris.]

Not a single thread about this on the_Donald lmao

lol course not, they're still holding onto the Seth Rich story for dear life. it's gonna be so fun watching that sub eat itself alive when Trump's finally kicked out of office

 

[Muffin1611]

This is what I imagine Mueller looks like:

Relevant: The Ultimate G-Man: Robert Mueller Remakes the FBI

 

[Effect]

Talk about surprising. Been so busy with Star Trek and the ARMS Nintendo Direct completely missed this. Wow.

 

[BronsonLee]

Well that's bad news.

Why? It shows he doesn't want a conflict of interest and it also means Trump can't say he's shit because his own family used his firm

 

[plagiarize]

It is? Never heard that before. Thanks for telling me.

Watch Twin Peaks.

You're welcome.

Very common here in the ststes.

Fox News is sweating. They are reporting on this but of course all of their guests are all spouting the "Special investigator is bad, but Mueller is a good appointment because he won't go on a witch hunt where there's no crime committed."

So many people will be brought down if he gets indicted on anything. All the conservative media, most of the GOP who defended Trump AND those who worked with him on legislation.

The outlash of him being found out will sink them all.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Well that's bad news.

uh oh, this bad in disguise?

 

[D23]

im loving this so much that i just ate a grasshopper

 

[eBay Huckster]

Well that's bad news.

by itself, not really

 

[TheCochese]

I did tell you to hold off on shitting on Rosenstein.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Bob is shortened Robert. Like people who are named Richard are also known as Dick.

Wouldn't that be Rob?

 

[Sephzilla]

My girlfriend is wondering why I'm laughing so hard

 

[riotous]

Dude has way, way, way too much of an ego to quit.

I kinda disagree with this sentiment. He might have too big of an ego to let himself get canned. I think he'd rather resign over some BS excuse than go through with being impeached.

 

[reKon]

im loving this so much that i juat ate a grasshopper

Lmao

 

[Lord Frieza]

Oh, I definitely don't mean he deserves any credit, but him recusing himself from Russia-related matters opened up Rosenstein to call for this, didn't it?

No...? I think you're confusing events

 

[super-heated plasma]

The reason Mueller resigned from his law firm: they represent kushner and ivanka

Well. This gives me pause.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

Trump "Can I settle out of court and stay winning?"

more like "SEE YOU IN COURT!"

 

[wandering]

Still nothing from the WH.

Imagine Trump being told the news

 

[btrboyev]

How can we trust this guy to be neutral?

 

[hydruxo]

Still nothing from the WH.

Imagine Trump being told the news

WATCH: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell makes no comment after Robert Mueller appointed special counsel by DOJ https://t.co/INivPjNaxY https://t.co/Dm31K4Q73l

https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/864974483072978944

He does not look happy.
This makes me happy.

 

[Stinkles]

It is? Never heard that before. Thanks for telling me.

Dick is short for Richard. But only highly bizarre white rich dudes insist on being called Dick.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Hope when this is all over Comey gets to be the one to put Trump in bracelets.

Him or McNulty.

 

[nomster]

Well that's bad news.

Doesn't mean much unless he also represented them. I think he has enough of a track record as FBI director to back him up here.

 

[Steel]

Wouldn't that be Rob?

It is also Rob, and Bob. Bill is William Richard is Dick. English is weird.

 

[mjp2417]

I hope people aren't expecting this special counsel to get convictions within the next few weeks. This is gonna take awhile. Could even take a couple years.

Yeah this is at minimum a year away from bearing fruit. Still, this is like some cosmic atonement for 11/8.

 

[akira28]

they used to call him Bob Mueller.

 

[OdysseusVA]

The reason Mueller resigned from his law firm: they represent kushner and ivanka

Dammit

 

[Allard]

One thing to remember about the powers Meueller has been granted, he isn't just taking over the Trump-Russia investigation, he is also charged to pursue any crimes that arose or were found during the course of the investigation. That means literally anything found just for digging into this investigation even if it doesn't relate directly to the initial premise of the investigation supersedes Sessions and has arrest warrant powers. Financial crimes, federal crimes, tax evasion, anything under the purview that the DoJ can legal go after a person for is potentially fair game if the investigation leads to that.

 

[Apdiddy]

Think Trump will fire Rod Rosenstein as retaliation? Or tweet something at 5 a.m. saying that Robert Mueller will be biased and it's another case of sour grapes?

Spoiler

Trump and his White House and their responses are getting old

 

[robotzombie]

So, who is Muellers GoT character equivalent?

Spoiler

asking the important questions

Selmy

 

[plagiarize]

How can we trust this guy to be neutral?

We can't.

But we can trust him to side with Comey over the White House. 100%.

Which is even better.

 

[AdamT]

Hahaha I'm dying

 

[Fallout-NL]

Him or McNulty.

Ok, that got me.

 

[serenewarfare]

Well that's bad news.

Not really. He could have denied the position. On top of that he removed himself from the firm so there's no conflict of interest.

Nothing about Mueller that has ever happened would suggest he's anything but an amazing choice for this. Even both parties are agreeing on that.

 

[Rubenov]

Why? It shows he doesn't want a conflict of interest and it also means Trump can't say he's shit because his own family used his firm

Just feel like he may have a soft spot for the Trumps... they paid his firm... anyway just going through possibilities / thinking out loud.

yep. unless he was one of the people advising kushner and trump, which is probably unlikely considering WilmerHale employs over a thousand attorneys, this is... not really an issue

Quick summary on this Mitch McConnell person for non US folk?

 

[Metalingus5150]

Wonder if the GOP will try to smear him.

 

[F0rneus]

The reason Mueller resigned from his law firm: they represent kushner and ivanka

....welp.

 

[TheCochese]

Just feel like he may have a soft spot for the Trumps... they paid his firm... anyway just going through possibilities / thinking out loud.

This is absolutely the wrong take to have. Mueller is above reproach by all accounts.

GOP majority leader in the Senate.

 

[Nekofrog]

My girlfriend is wondering why I'm laughing so hard

Fuck stop filming and help a brother turtle out.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Traitors.

Wait is this legit? I'm not dreaming am I? If so lock every one of these fuckers up who are doing their damnedest to prevent Trumps impeachment for treason. Every last one of them. Start with Paul Ryan himself.

 

[BronsonLee]

Quick summary on this Mitch McConnell person for non US folk?

He's a fucking turtle and he's so screwed

 

[Emarv]

Wouldn't that be Rob?

Rob. Bob. Bobby. Robby. All work.

Same is true for William: Will, Bill, Willy, Billy.
