So Mueller pretty much said dickey doo. Close down his office, pick up all his toys, retire and ride off into the sunset. Mueller reminds me of the kid in HS who starts the food fight in the cafeteria then slinks out the back door once all the chaos has been started. I find it hard to believe Mueller has nothing left to say. Maybe the book deal down the road is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. After 2 years of investigating the nation has even more questions than it did at the start.
Perfect example of meathead take away.
Yet again 72... given the source as always I consider anything you say about me as a compliment.

. For the record... You don't think once the dust settles that someone will offer Mueller a kings ransom to write a book about this?
Why do you care? You don’t have to buy the book or watch the movie.
Who said I care?? I won't read the book or watch the movie. I am guessing what Mueller will do when someone hands him a check with enough zeroes on it.
I don't care so it never crossed my mind..... I was just wondering why it crossed yours?....I assumed you "cared".... my bad.
I could be wrong. I only believe there is a part of Mueller that wants to tell the world what he believes Trump did even if he couldn't prove it. Maybe he can put it in his rearview and move on. I think once Trump is gone he will feel more inclined to speak his mind. The fact that in doing so he could earn a lot of money will be even more tempting.
Given that Mueller's career includes a series of decisions to forgo much, much higher pay in the private sector jobs he held to instead get paid far less as a public servant, and he's never previously cashed in though the book route despite tons of inside information and experiences as a top prosecutor and FBI chief during some of the most interesting periods of our lives, I think "a lot of money" is just not a factor for Mueller.
Suggesting otherwise seems to be a typical sort of Trumpist projection.
Trump's driven his whole life driven by his self-interest, in all sorts of distasteful ways, but most importantly by excessive financial greed and display.
Trump accuses others of what he knows best fits himself.
His followers take his lead.
But it obviously doesn't fit Mueller.
Now...telling the world what he thinks
could be important to him...but he's sure sending signals that he wants the Report to speak for itself and that he really doesn't want to be doing public speeches or testifying to Congress. In other words, he's already told the world what he thinks...read it.
That said, he sure didn't say he wouldn't testify, just that, if called, he wasn't expecting to reveal anything not included in the Report (he won't actually be able to limit that 100%, but he'll err to circumspection).
But as Justin Amash is making clear, the Report is very, very compelling all by itself. The problem, as Rep Amash says, is that not even most of Congress has bothered to read it.
So, having Mueller go through his Report, point by point, on live TV, will be how most Americans finally get a grasp on what it says. He doesn't have to say more than the Report...according to Rep Amash.
I think this may actually be done in a formal impeachment inquiry process, with staff or other hired counsel doing most of the questioning and downplaying the inevitable political grandstanding.
