Hey, everybody, Tim Miller from the Bullwork here. We have some sad breaking news. The former FBI director

for more than a decade, Robert Mueller, who also is a special counsel in the Russian investigation,

died today. He has had a battle with Parkinson's disease for a while now. You'll not be surprised

to learn that our current president's response to that was as despicable and deplorable as you

might imagine, even maybe worse than you might imagine if that's possible. So we'll get to that.

But rather than start with him and give him what he wants, why don't we start with Bob Mueller, Bill,

and I assume you've fought his career for a long time now, Vietnam Vet, FBI director,

and then the Mueller probe.

Yeah, I hate to, I mean, I agree with you.

The contrasts with Trump is so startling and striking, though, that maybe one has to just

note that.

I mean, that Trump's beyond despicable relishing of Mueller's death at age 81 is of a

peace with Trump's life and Robert Mueller going, serving his country for decades, ending up

accepting the job as special counsel when he knew that wasn't going to be easy and doing, I think,

a diligent and honorable job and effort there to hold Donald Trump accountable from 2017 to, I guess, 2019.

It was a piece with his work. You mentioned he was Vietnam. He went to Princeton. He graduated. Many Princeton graduates and many others.

Many, many others in that era found ways to avoid serving in

Vietnam Donald Trump famously being one of them uh Robert Mueller volunteered for the Marine Corps

if I think I have this right he he had some medical actual legit medical issue injury or something

which they wouldn't take him at first yeah so he worked on that and got a resolved or whatever, and then joined a year later. Yeah, it was an injured knee. So he had his get out of jail free card, so to speak. You get out of Vietnam free card if you wanted to, but he chose. And he volunteered for the ring, coincidentally, which is not, you know, not the, that was a, that was a ticket to combat. It was not a ticket to where you could hope to, I don't think, you know, serve in, you know, offshore or back in the U.S. and stuff. So, served very honorably there, of course, really distinguished career, genuine public service. People use that term so much. Public service were all kind of endured to it. You know, everyone who serves in every hack who's in Congress. It's been a great honor to have public service.

But Robert Mueller.

I always makeured to it. You know, everyone who serves in every hack who's in Congress.
