"Mueller, who died on Monday at age 81, had been FBI director from 2001 to 2013 but is more famous for being the special prosecutor who oversaw from 2017 to 2019 the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign in 2016 and the Russian government."
"According to Obama, Mueller deserved commendation for 'his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time.'"
"Rachel Maddow, a journalist who had placed great hope in Mueller's investigation into Russiagate, remembered the former law enforcement official as 'the last in a line of people that I don't think we'll ever see the likes of again.'"
Robert Mueller, who served as FBI director from 2001 to 2013, became a symbol of polarized politics in his later years. He was revered by liberals for defending the rule of law and criticized by MAGA supporters as part of a conspiracy against Donald Trump. Following his death at age 81, Trump expressed disdain, while former presidents Bush and Obama praised Mueller's commitment to the rule of law.
