Claimed Mueller engaged in Deep State coup against Trump

George W. Bush appointed Robert Mueller as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2001. Mueller was nominated by Bush and confirmed by the Senate, serving from 2001 to 2013, a tenure that spanned both the Bush and Obama administrations.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and related matters. This appointment was made under the authority delegated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who had recused himself.

As Special Counsel, Mueller's investigation led to the prosecution and conviction of Paul Manafort on charges of tax fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy. Manafort was sentenced to over 7 years in prison.

Mueller's Special Counsel investigation uncovered evidence that led to the indictment and prosecution of Roger Stone for obstructing the investigation, witness tampering, and making false statements to Congress about his contacts regarding WikiLeaks.

Bush nominated Mueller to serve as Director of the FBI just days before the 9/11 attacks, thrusting him into a pivotal role shaping U.S. counterterrorism policy and expanding federal surveillance powers.
