It wasn't necessary to fire them, none of their texts had any connection to the investigation itself. Mueller values impartiality and the appearance thereof to the point where he goes above and beyond to maintain it, however. That's been clear throughout the entirety of his career.
So you're saying that when they wrote that
"Trump isn't going to become president" because
"they won't let him" that was on the up-and-up? Okay.
There were several people involved with the Trump campaign, and close to Trump personally, that were put on trial and went to jail over similar charges. Mueller also made it clear during his testimony that he was unable to exonerate Trump of any charges, and that Russians were still interfering with our political system and elections to this day.
This is patently untrue, or at least misleading, I provided you with quotes directly from the report. Volume I is explicitly concerned with
"colluding with Russia", and the evidence was insufficient to establish any wrongdoing in this regard. None of the indictments or plea deals which were the result of the Special Counsel's investigation are connected with the alleged crimes listed, according to Mueller himself. It's also worth noting that Trump and Trump Campaign officials are
de facto innocent of any alleged crimes until proven guilty in a court of law - if there is no evidence, there can be no verdict on guilt and thus no exoneration. It's not Mueller's job to exonerate anyone, nor was it his job to judge anyone. He's not a prosecutor nor a judge, he's an investigator, his job was to gather evidence - he failed to do so, and he had ample time. If you feel like living in a world of presumption of guilt as opposed to presumption of innocence, you're welcome to do so - I don't. If you're interested in the findings, I invite you to read the report, particularly the conclusion of Volume I, since that's the volume that concerns the origin of this whole affair. I personally don't care about any
"gotcha" attempts as far as supposed obstruction is concerned - if there was no collusion, the case was fruit from the poisonous tree.
In other words: he's a child who cannot sit still or pay attention to any one thing for more than ten minutes. Let alone keep himself from lying for ten minutes at a time. It's for that reason I was annoyed when Mueller didn't push for a live interview, but I suppose all attempts at that were futile once Barr was hired on as Trump's personal lawyer.
Hyperbole yet again. Comey's actions directly undermined the legitimacy of Trump's presidency and needed to be stopped, although the method used was admittedly not ideal. Barr is not "Trump's personal lawyer", he simply applies the law as it is written.
