Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller Gets To Work (VIDEO)

After months of shouting from both sides of the political aisle, the Justice Department finally appointed the much-needed special prosecutor to oversee the investigation into Donald Trump’s Russia ties. Last week Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein named former FBI Director Robert Mueller to the position, while everyone in America threw up their hands and said “finally!”

Mueller is a good choice for the spot. An attorney by trade, with experience as both a prosecutor and a law enforcement agent Mueller has the intellect, the experience, and the political savvy to weather the storm that the next few months will generate. He was named to the position at just after 7 p.m. eastern time, and just an hour later went to work.

Someone who knows all about situations like this is Richard Ben-Veniste, the man appointed as special prosecutor for the Watergate scandal during the Nixon years. He describes the process:

“He will have the opportunity to interview witnesses at a pace he decides is appropriate and, if necessary, he will have the power to immunize witnesses and present evidence to a grand jury.”

That means that the Trump administration could be in the dark about the situation for months. Although Mueller is best known as the former FBI Director, his real strengths and talents lie in his skills as a prosecutor, his work ethic, and his his integrity. Former colleagues during Mueller’s private practice years sang his praises:

“Bob used to tell young prosecutors and agents that integrity is doing the right thing when no one else is watching you…”

“He’s the first person in and the last person out, that’s the reason everyone claims he is the gold standard…”

Mueller also brings a number of attorneys with diverse strengths and skill sets to aid him in the investigation. This will ensure that all bases are covered, that no stone is unturned, and most importantly, that the American people finally hear the truth about Donald Trump and Russia.
