Robert Mueller is supposed to be investigating Russian hackers who
were spying on political emails during last year's election, but
reporters with the Associated Press are doing a better job than he
is.
The AP
reported last week that the Russian hacking group Fancy Bear
was spying on more than just political emails and FBI .leaders
knew it. The FBI failed to warn the vast majority of hackers'
targets that the Russians were reading their emails. The FBI
allowed the Russians to spy on the emails
of "the former head of cybersecurity for the U.S. Air
Force. An ex-director at the National Security Council. A former
head of the Defense Intelligence Agency." Targets included a manager
working on the stealth fighter program.
Meanwhile Mueller was getting Michael Flynn to admit he lied to the
FBI about a legitimate meeting with the Russian
ambassador that occurred after the election. Having
aides of the President-elect meet with foreign diplomats can prepare
their government for any change in policy and help the incoming
president avoid actions that might adversely affect relations
between the countries.
The situation reminds me of an old Warner Brothers cartoon about a
family of buzzards. The mother sends her children out to bring
back some fresh meat. One brings back a
horse. Another brings a cow. The younger one is
shown flying along holding a bee in its talons and proudly singing:
"'I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee. Won't my mommy be
so proud of me." Last week the AP brought back a whale and
Robert Mueller brought back a baby bumble bee,
Mueller has spent millions on what would be called a dry hole in
Texas oil country. The Associated Press has
brought in a gusher. The AP has discovered what may be
the greatest act of espionage involving federal employees since the
theft of atomic bomb secrets in
the forties.
President Donald Trump should either replace Mueller's team with
people who have never worked for the Justice Department or drop the
investigation
