Much-vaunted Robert Mueller's record shows bad investigations

As President Trump deliberates on whether to be interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a look at Mueller's record of indicting ham sandwiches ought to give him pause.
Mueller, as The Federalist points out, botches high-profile cases and can drag them out for a decade. Reporter Daniel Ashman found this case with Mueller's name on it, the anthrax attacks case dating back to 2001. That was when some maniac or terrorist, some beast, sent anthrax powder in the mail to news agencies, injuring people who opened the packages. I worked at Forbes magazine in New York at the time and remember how the mail was quarantined, depriving us of that communication line, and I remember how terrified people were at this nasty coda to the horrific 9/11 terror attacks.
The Federalist reports:
So even though the likeliest blame pointed to al Qaida's 9/11 attackers, not just from the acts observed, but because terrorists just love dancing around a second time in the wake of a new attack, following the buzz they got from their initial attacks, Robert Mueller pursued other, more politically correct targets, such as white men in government agencies.
Instead of slamming terrorists with the indictment, Mueller went after insiders, people who worked at health agencies, with one case against a U.S. worker dismissed with a large payout, and another case against a U.S. worker ending in suicide, quite possibly in despair at being accused.
The terrorists got little attention, despite being the likeliest culprits.
Any questions as to why it took so long? When you are barking up the wrong tree, it can take forever to find anything to pin on someone.
It's said a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. Most don't, of course, because they have better things to do. Not Robert Mueller, however. He actually likes to indict ham sandwiches, even when the culprit is sitting right there in plain sight. Was it political correctness that kept Mueller from going after the bad guys? Quite possibly. I remember how quickly political correctness showed up in the memorial displays of 9/11, when the smoke hadn't even stopped billowing from the World Trade Center's smoldering ruin down-road from Union Square. So it's pretty obvious that not blaming Muslims, even particular Muslims, for the attacks was in the air from the beginning, and Robert Mueller chose to go with those political winds.
Which rather precisely has the look of what is going on now with Mueller's investigation of President Trump and his supposed collusion with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton. Without any evidence of collusion and no big gotcha, Mueller can drag a case out for ten years, maybe driving a few people to suicide, all because he cannot allow himself to admit that maybe there wasn't any collusion. He keeps going, like the dog that can't stop sniffing.
President Trump should consider this pattern before consenting to talk to Mueller.
