Mueller was not up to the task?
Utter nonsense.

1) Mueller did not write the entire Mueller Report. He oversaw the task force.

2) The report is 448 pages in length. No one could know every detail of every sentence.

3) Robert Mueller's testimony was too dry, to lacking in "optics" for the US corporate media, and many voters. Or so we are told. But this depends on the viewer expecting a reality television spectacle, wherein Mueller reveals some incredibly damaging information, and does it while dancing with the stars and also engaging in a comedy act.

But reality is not like that. The important thing, often overlooked, is that Mueller stated that because of a DOJ opinion, he could not indict a sitting President.

Which  he recanted that same afternoon...

3. I do not understand why any of us would waste time trying to tear down Mueller's testimony. He delivered as promised and his report is a roadmap for future criminal investigation and impeachment.

7. Did you know that opinion was written

By an obscure Lawyer after the Nixon impeachment and has no validity at all? Just an opinion.

9. It was affirmed in 2000.

And it's valid to the extent that it's a binding instruction on an employee whose employment is conditioned on abiding by binding instructions.

If Mueller indicted the first thing is that his superior would say, "Sorry, you overstepped your authority." And if his superior didn't, then *his* superior would. (Iterate as much as you need to, ultimately you'd get to Trump.)

8. Powerful testimony regarding Russian interference

Mueller and his team did an extraordinary job investigating Russian interference into the 2016 election and DJT efforts to obstruct it. His testimony before the Intel committee was powerful. His testimony before the Judiciary committee was more cautious. And, speaking as a 70 year old, I thought he seemed to exhibit a certain physical frailty. His mind, however, appeared to be very sharp.
