I have from the very beginning been skeptical of special counsel Robert Mueller’s approach of not directly providing accurate, real-time information to the American people about his investigatory progress and conclusions. Sunday’s events strongly confirm my views. Mueller’s nearly two-year news blackout, while inexplicably praised and admired by the news media, has severely harmed justice and democracy. It prevented all of us from knowing and deliberating and making judgments about the facts and circumstances as we considered vital matters that go to the very essence of our government, and invited both Republicans and Democrats to spin
Gee Theodore... Next time Mueller will get you on his team... the team that goes after the treacherous criminals at the CIA, FBI, Dept. of Justice... and that special witch, Hillary.

Since nothing bad concerning President Trump was found the fault MUST be Muellers. It has to be. It has to.It couldn´t possibly be that there was nothing to find. That can´t be it. It can´t. This is what happens when you have been fed lies for years .When the news programs you listen to and the papers you read speak and print lies, you believe the lies. Nothing odd about that. But, when the truth does come out it´s very difficult to absorb and you go to pieces.

Ted he was doing what the law said to do and not what you want him to do break the law.

Mueller didn´t fail you there was nothing to investigate. Now if Mueller went after Hillary and her Foundation he would make history for breaking the biggest story involving a coup d´ etat started by the Deep State involving the CIA, DOJ, FBI and the State Dept.

We were right about Mueller all along. There was no Russian collusion and thus no crime. If there was no crime, there couldn´t be obstruction of justice. So why couldn´t he be honest and just say that?
He made every effort to accomplish what the establishment wanted him to do: either force Trump to resign or find something for the Democrat house to use for an excuse for impeachment. Saying that there MIGHT have been obstruction is the best he could do with his limited capabilities.
The ball in now in Trump´s court, and lets roll!!!

Sounds like 100% hindsight to justify himself to the SJW crowd.

Ted believed Hilbama’s hype and lies.
Ted’s world depended upon the hype and lies.
Today, Ted is a sad sad person, tilting at windmills.
Don’t be like Ted.

Mueller followed the laws that protect innocent people.
The leftists, like Theodore Boutrous, and Democrats like Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters and Gerry Nadler, do not get to influence the findings and they cannot handle that.
I appears as though to Trump´s enemies, laws mean nothing unless they negatively impact Trump.
The American justice system dictates that the defendant be given the presumption of innocence and requires that the accuser has the burden of proof that wrongdoing was done.
After a lengthy, extensive, expensive investigation Mueller failed to find proof that Trump or his team engaged in collusion with Russia, yet Democrats refuse to accept his findings.
Sorry guys, you just need to suck it up: the laws were followed and Mueller failed to find facts and evidence to support your fantasies.

Ted is a well-known partner in a major law firm, so I guess his article means he doesn´t like the result of the report. The other investigations that had lots of press conferences, etc. also prejudiced not only the accused but a lot of people who were never accused.
Mueller actually stacked the deck with anti Trumpers and it may have been intentional to avoid accusations of prejudice if the report came out the way it did today. Maybe not. He turned out apparently to have more integrity than I expected. I hope my opinion remains this way.

Sorry Teddy but if you were too stupid or lazy to see the facts then that is on you. Plenty was leaked and you cite the prosecutions of people for crimes that you know darn well had nothing to do with Trump. You along with all your braindead friends in the press should turn in your credentials because you are nothing even faintly resembling a journalist. You are more like a lemming who was willing to go over the cliff for the piper named Hillary.

Mueller is being celebrated for no leaking and admirable secrecy. But despite his exonerating our president, I still despise him. His police state tactics against Trump associates were truly scary. I feel certain if he had found something...anything...to hurt our president, that special counsel would have leaked like a sieve. The only thing I will give him credit for is that he was honorable enough to not make things up like the rest of the deep state and our officious media. But by not "leaking" that the special counsel wasn´t finding anything, the left and the media were able to spew their lies non-stop, hurting all Americans.

Another Leftist, supposedly a lawyer who ought to know better, who fails to understand how investigations take place. Since we are INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty, all investigatory actions are done non publicly until EVIDENCE is found of a crime. If no evidence is found, the investigation is NOT public.
Theodore is arguing for a trial in the court of public opinion using police state powers to force the collection of information. That is a horrible way to seek justice and any lawyer should KNOW that.

This is just ignorance. By law Mueller had to turn the report over to the AG, not in a press conference. Can’t these morons do 10 minutes of research before they write their pouty little articles?

Yes, when we set up a political inquisition, we want constant updates!
This is why the special prosecutor law is unconstitutional.
The investigation of the traitors needs to be by regular prosecutor.

#16 I´m quite sure Theodore is a lawyer. Some of the dumbest people I´ve ever met were lawyers. Smart lawyers seem to be the exception.

Theodore J. Boutrous Jr is a LA based lawyer that represented CNN´s Jim Acosta when he got his press pass revoked by President Trump. He also represented Daniel Ramirez in 2017 after Ramirez was arrested by ICE agents in Seattle. Ramirez, who came to the USA illegally as a juvenile had been shielded from deportation by Obama´s DACA program. Ramirez admitted having gang ties and had a gang tattoo on his forearm providing grounds for canceling his participation in DACA as a threat to public safety. It appears that Boustrous is no fan of President Trump or if Trump´s quest to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into this country.
