Friends of Mueller’s Think “Something Happened” to Him During the Russia Probe

The author of a new book, is saying that friends of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, believe that “something happened to him” affecting his physical and mental health during the two-year long Russia probe.

The Washington Post’s Carol Leonnig, who is the co-author of the new book A Very Stable Genius about President Trump, described in interviews promoting the book, how difficult it was for some of Mueller’s close family and friends to watch his shaky testimony before Congress last summer.

“Phil [Rucker] and I, my co-author, we are not medical professionals, but over and over again, John, we heard from people who are very close to Bob Mueller who found him a different person, a changed person, after two years of this investigation,” Leonnig told CNN host John Berman.

“They don’t know what that’s about,” Leonnig continued. “Some of them do and haven’t shared that with us. But they know that something happened. He’s a different person. He was stumbling over his words. You saw him in July in his testimony before Congress, there were people that I spoke to who are very, very good family friends of his who said, ‘I couldn’t watch the television anymore, I had to turn it off. It wasn’t the Bob I knew.'”

After a 22-month investigation, Mueller’s team did not find sufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy took place between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. He also declined to make a determination about whether Trump may have obstructed justice but did lay out 10 instances of possible obstruction that Democrats viewed as a road map to continue investigating and possibly seek impeachment. Trump is now facing two articles of impeachment stemming from his dealings with Ukraine. However, nothing from the Mueller Probe was reflected in either of those articles.

Speculation about Mueller’s health began to swirl when the former FBI director, known for being sharp and competent, appeared to have difficulty hearing lawmakers’ questions and failed to recall key facts from his report when he testified before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees in July.

In their book, Leonnig and Rucker wrote that when Attorney General William Barr met Mueller before his report was released, Mueller read from his notes, and his “hands shook as he held the paper. His voice was shaky, too.” Barr and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, “couldn’t help but worry about Mueller’s health.”

Despite persistent rumors about his health, it was announced that in  October 2019 that Mueller had returned to work at the private law firm WilmerHale.

  1. I would say that he knew that what was done was not right and the fact that all of the phisha court files were bougus to begin with that the whole thing was a shame that would make anyone be off it’s no wonder that all of these people that were in on the so called investigation are not prosecuted for the things they brought up on all those people they had no right to investigate half of them let alone bring them up on charges and they blackmailed most of them made some people say things that were not true they or Bob should really be ashamed of themselves!!

  2. He has a guilty conscience knowing he supported filthy communist Democrats against a real American patriot. President Donald J. TRUMP.

    Omg. Older people like us do shake. Always looking for something that happens when under investigations it wears on your nerves and 22 months. Wow waste of time and money to find out nothing. All hear say or opinions of the fake news. So tired of this and demos vs repub. they all lie. Start doing something with you time instead of wasting tax payers money. Pres Trump is doing a great job. Better than demos have done because they want to control everything. Communist gov is not what America wants. Trump 2020.

  6. May he was the mule that carried the Uranium to Russia , May be even to China

    PERHAPS , one could deduce , that Mr. Mueller found NOTHING , but , was “coaxed” into fabricating the mere nuances of some “data” , that could be “construed” to “possibly” reflect” the minutest of “evidence” , in order for the democrats to continue wasting TAXPAYER monies, and he was “scared into this dementia” .

    Maybe just maybe, maybe Mueller was worried of Hillary Clinton. Scared of being on the hit list!

    When you make up evidences to wrongfully accuse & abuse authority, there are consequences against your physical & mental health! That’s what Mueller us paying for right now! ?????

  10. Yeah, he found that his “road dogs” were guilty of every charge they brought against President Trump and they were using him to throw shade on the guilty libtards. Seems that he isn’t a real fan of being suicided for exposing the truth about the deep state and the filthy traitorous Clinton/Epstein cabal. Talk about being caught between a rock and a perverted hardon!

  11. You deleted my comment, so I guess that patriots4 truth.com doesn’t actually want to publish the truth after all. I done with you!

  12. Mueller is likely to have had at some point in his life a moral conscience and some Integrity not shown in his Investigation at all except for the LACK of substantive findings and I am betting he KNOWS exactly how much conspiracy and collusion was ongoing BEFORE Trump was elected , who perpetrated it and why and lives in mortal fear of being called to testify by a grand jury or worse at some point. That would shake and bake the brain of anyone who had held the position he did in the FBI, then to have the whole Agency leadership be PROVED corrupt as a result of HIS investigation and substantiated by the FOIA requests after Trump was elected and they were released to the watchdog Agency, Judicial Watch.The most recent revelations about the impropriety of the investigation and lack of due process in the case of Carter Page, now admitted to by the DOJ can only be worrying the man even more. I cannot think of anyone who deserves more scrutiny or uncertainty of his future than Mueller, or McCabe or Comey or Christopher Wray …. ad infinitum!

    A truthful person turned into a liar will always struggle with telling that lie. It will haunt him it will distance him and he will not sleep and of course ultimately his health will be affected

  14. GalleG

    It was an act. He knew what he was doing and fained some sort of physical and mental malady to escape further scrutiny. If his health is compromised how is he able to return to practicing law?

  15. I believe he saw the TRUTH and the GRAVITY of the situation and that POTUS Trump is innocent of Russian Collusion. I believe he saw the ILLEGAL COUP that was working against the POTUS and that this is VERY dangerous ground which he did NOT want to be part of. I believe that her would UNLOAD on the DEMOCRATS for this TREASONOUS act of SEDITION against the POTUS and the U.S. Constitution. He was put in an AWKWARD and DANGEROUS position. Team Trump and his allies 2020.

    It was obvious something was not right with him. I felt sorry for him, he seemed totally unattached from the proceedings. Perhaps he had been having a series of small strokes. At the end of the day though, the over-arching truth is this; “it’s a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Living God!”
