Robert Mueller's testimony in July 2019 shocked many observers. They expected Mueller Time! with super-sharp special counsel presenting damning evidence against Trump. Instead, a weakened Mueller struggled to answer basic questions. Clearly diminished. 1/8 amazon.com/Obsession-Insi…
The Trump defense team already suspected something was up. Prosecutors did not allow Trump lawyers to see Mueller, talk to him on phone. Seemed to be covering for him. For example, Giuliani met with Mueller just once. 2/8 amazon.com/Obsession-Insi…
At that meeting, April 2018, Trump team was stunned when talk turned to well-known DOJ policy that sitting president cannot be indicted. Played crucial role in Trump case. But Mueller could not recall it. Aides stepped in to tell Trump lawyers they would get back to them. 3/8
Afterward, Trump lawyers surprised, concerned, baffled. What was going on? Was Mueller in some sort of serious decline? If so, who was in charge? 4/8 amazon.com/Obsession-Insi…
By investigation's end, Mueller was 'AWOL,' Jay Sekulow said. 'That was the great con. He showed up for cameo appearances...' 5/8 amazon.com/Obsession-Insi…
More Sekulow on Mueller: 'He was the Wizard of Oz. He was back behind the big curtain, pulling some strings here and there, but when you pulled the curtain away, he wasn't even really the one pulling the strings.' 6/8 amazon.com/Obsession-Insi…
Mueller's decline raised serious concerns for Trump team. Remember his hiring of several Democratic donors as prosecutors? A lawyer who attended Hillary Clinton's election night event? 7/8
Mueller was supposed to be the straight shooter keeping them all in line. But what if he was not up to the job? The story is in 'Obsession.' 8/8 End. amazon.com/Obsession-Insi…
