On Thanksgiving Day tomorrow, let us give thanks for the man who's given us some hope:

ROBERT SWAN MUELLER.

And for his team of top-notch prosecutors and investigators.

Here's to their continued health and ultimate success.

Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller's one-two punch on Monday sent a forceful message to President Donald Trump, the public and potential suspects about the case he is constructing of Trump associates' involvement with Russia during the 2016 campaign.

Mueller showed he can keep a secret and maximize the impact of what he makes public.

In the first major filings of his investigation into the Russian effort to influence the election, Mueller revealed how broadly he has taken his mandate, the kinds of records he has uncovered, and how he has leveraged at least one insider to cooperate.

Okay. But I fear that's too much pressure for one person. Too many hopes to rest on one man. nt Honeycombe8 Nov 2017 #9
There's his whole team. And there's A. G. Schneiderman in NY. We're counting on him, too. pnwmom Nov 2017 #11

I bet Mueller squeezes in a few hours of work tomorrow in between food and football.

He needs to relax and recharge. I hope he has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Back to work on Friday!

A lot is riding on those 72 year old shoulders.

Here is a video of his commencement address to Tabor Academy, where he was introduced as "Bubba" by his proud granddaughter.
