Why Mueller will win in the end: Said a former FBI official: “This investigation is classic Mueller: he is doing a classic, organized crime case. This is RICO 101, working your way up and sideways. You pop a few guys for gambling, and no one is going to do a million years for gambling, but you’re gonna get their scratch pads, then you move on to their associates. You flip one guy who you arrest with no fanfare. It’s exactly what Mueller has been doing his whole goddamn life. It’s just that this time the boss of the family happens to be the leader of the free world. Mueller doesn’t care if he gets Trump. He doesn’t care if he doesn’t get Trump. He has no political agenda. He is digging through the layers and bringing back the truth, and the truth is going to be whatever it is going to be.” Mueller’s keep-your-head-down, just-the-facts strategy is rooted in his own ascetic, disciplined personal style, and what is quickly becoming an antiquated tradition. His approach isn’t likely to change. But it isn’t oblivious to modern reality, either. “Oh, Mueller is critically aware of everything that’s being written or said. He reads his papers. He listens to the radio. He’s not missing anything,” a former top F.B.I. colleague says. “But he completely tunes it out. It’s a discipline. This is his way of flying above the fray, because once you get into it, you’re all in. There’s an old expression: ‘It’s like mud-wrestling with a pig. You’re both going to get dirty. The difference is that the pig likes it.’ But the very fact that Mueller refuses to respond to the most outrageous criticisms and claims is the reason the pig is wrestling with itself in its own mud.” Mueller is the exact opposite of Trump. He does his job the way it should be done and does not seek glory or instant gratification. He chooses his words carefully and does not act on impulse. He does not see himself as special or entitled because he comes from a wealthy background, but as having a great responsibility to serve because he was born into fortunate circumstances. He does not treat those who disagrees with him as enemies to be slandered and ridiculed, but as adversaries who have their own responsibilities and perspectives. He will not fight this battle on TV or treat it as a reality show, because doing so is unethical for a prosecutor. Trump may dominate the news cycles, but in the end, Mueller understands that, while the arc of the universe is long, it tends towards justice. Vanity Fair
