He was also in charge of the failed prosecution of Hells Angels MC in Oakland. Almost all of the convictions were later overturned on appeals.
Mueller's pitbull assistant on the case is a total work of horse crap.
Andrew Wissemann has a track record of improper prosecutions by withholding evidence and failing to present witnesses that could have affected the outcome of the trial.

Mueller tapped a different sort of prosecutor to lead his investigation — his long-time friend and former counsel, Andrew Weissmann. He is not just a “tough” prosecutor. Time after time, courts have reversed Weissmann’s most touted “victories” for his tactics. This is hardly the stuff of a hero in the law.

Weissmann, as deputy and later director of the Enron Task Force, destroyed the venerable accounting firm of Arthur Andersen LLP and its 85,000 jobs worldwide — only to be reversed several years later by a unanimous Supreme Court.

Next, Weissmann creatively criminalized a business transaction between Merrill Lynch and Enron. Four Merrill executives went to prison for as long as a year. Weissmann’s team made sure they did not even get bail pending their appeals, even though the charges Weissmann concocted, like those against Andersen, were literally unprecedented.

Weissmann’s prosecution devastated the lives and families of the Merrill executives, causing enormous defense costs, unimaginable stress and torturous prison time. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the mass of the case.

Weissmann quietly resigned from the Enron Task Force just as the judge in the Enron Broadband prosecution began excoriating Weissmann’s team and the press began catching on to Weissmann’s modus operandi.

Mueller knows this history. Is this why he tapped Weissmann to target Paul Manafort?

As Attorney General Jackson foretold: “Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted.”

This my friends is the caliber of the team looking to destroy Trump.

Since you brought it up ....

https://www.redstate.com/streiff/20...ting-paul-manaforts-russian-business-partner/

"In 2009, when Mueller ran the FBI, the bureau asked Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to spend millions of his own dollars funding an FBI-supervised operation to rescue a retired FBI agent, Robert Levinson, captured in Iran while working for the CIA in 2007"
.....
"One agent who helped court Deripaska was Andrew McCabe, the recently fired FBI deputy director who played a seminal role starting the Trump-Russia case, multiple sources confirmed."
....
"The FBI rewarded Deripaska for his help. In fall 2009, according to U.S. entry records, Deripaska visited Washington on a rare law enforcement parole visa. And since 2011, he has been granted entry at least eight times on a diplomatic passport, even though he doesn’t work for the Russian Foreign Ministry."
....
"Of course, while seeking to avoid breaking US law, Mueller engaged in his own form of the Iran Contra affair. This looks, smells and tastes as though Mueller required Deripaska to pay $25 million in order to get occasional visas to travel to the US in contravention of sanctions. There is no doubt that Mueller violated the Anti-Deficiency Act. Mueller was not a passive recipient of an independent effort managed by Deripaska. He directed an operation funded by Deripaska. His agency did not use funds appropriated by Congress for this enterprise. You can’t do that. It also looks like Mueller was running a totally deniable operation off the books."

Dirty? If appearance is the same as fact it would appear to me he has some significant challenges ahead.

While looking in to Robert Mueller's past you may also want to read this: https://www.wired.com/story/robert-mueller-vietnam/

only spotted one error, 2/4 didn't earn "magnificent bastards" in vietnam. they were called that since at least korea, they were over run in korea and their colors were captured, the battalion could not serve in the United States after losing it's colors. the earlier battle they mention at dai do was a brutal affair, they fed the battalion into the fight piecemeal, the walking wounded were being treated and returned to the fight from the Repose, even some Navy guys were seen joining the fight when returning the wounded back to their units. that happened because a Vietnamese regiment allowed the NVA to infiltrate their AO and remained quiet about it. the 4 mountains they speak of we called the Razor Back, remember going to a company set up on a rise below the mountains, they had wire surrounding their position, on the pole for a makeshift gate was a skull with a bullet hole dead center of the forehead. ahhhh, those memories just bubble up some times
