Mueller, a man of few words, may disappoint Trump impeachment advocates by Isikoff

Robert Mueller is a man of few words. Once, when he was FBI director, he picked up complaints — passed along by his wife — that he was pushing his aides too hard. So, he called up Chuck Rosenberg, his chief of staff.“Nothing,” replied Mueller, ending the conversation, satisfied he had done all he needed to do to check up on his overworked staff.

But those who know him best say Mueller is unlikely to deliver — or say much, if anything — that will advance the cause of those advocating Trump’s impeachment. The 74-year-old former special counsel has shunned the public limelight for decades, rarely giving interviews or holding press conferences. When he was required to testify before Congress, Mueller would generally speak in clipped, stilted and legalistic terms, almost never straying from his written talking points.

What got less attention than the heavy-handed edict from the department was the predicate for the letter itself. It was Mueller who asked for it. On July 10, Mueller requested the department give him guidance on what he could or could not say to the committees. The unanswered question is whether Mueller feels unduly constrained by the Justice letter — or whether it was exactly what he wanted to give him the cover he needed to say nothing.

Mueller detailed other highly problematic instances — such as Trump’s directive to former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to deliver a message to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to reverse his recusal from the Russia probe and then order Mueller to restrict the probe to “investigating election meddling for future elections.”
