His investigation became a symbol of wasted government spending in a political witchhunt. Dominated by [[Leftist]]s whom Mueller hired for his staff, they have spent time and money on senseless indictments of Russians outside of American jurisdiction, who will never stand trial.

Although by law the position of FBI Director is limited to 10 years, in 2011 when Dir. Mueller's term expired there was widespread mistrust of President Obama's ability to appoint a new director to a 10-year term. A myriad of questionable associations and dealings within the [[Obama administration]] went unresolved. The old Independent Counsel law lapsed, which required a panel of 3 judges to appoint an independent counsel. Under existing law [[Eric Holder]] would have to appoint a Special Counsel to prosecute himself after he was held in [[contempt of Congress]] for obstructing the [[Fast and Furious]] investigation.
