singaporesoxfan said:That may be true - and Mueller certainly is a man of deep integrity - but a lot of reporters on Twitter are already starting to question what "overseeing" means and whether that makes the investigation truly independent.
I actually was sort of agreeing a bit -- I do think it's a concern. But in the end, I'm not really that worried he'll whitewash it. I think he'll give them lip service and do what he wants to do.
Not to get too down in the weeds here, but while internal investigations require integrity, the most important ingredient is that you have to be good at it. It's a distinct skill. No idea whether Mueller is good at it. I know for a fact, though, there are people at his firm who are fantastic at it, and I assume he will use them as lieutenants.
