To be clear. Mueller is not a joke. His investing is real and the people he had indicted so far are well deserving. There is a narrative here that has permeated the entire discussion with trump and it is this: if you don't like trump and you think he's incompetent crybaby sloganeering empty suit, then you are biased against him and your criticisms cannot discussed without talking about that bias first.

This is essentially an attack on the messenger in the hopes of undermining the message. It only works if you are not aware of it or you respond to the personal attack with your own defense, thereby distracting from the message. Snupid tries this all the time, usually from a pretend position of objectivity. It's condescending. It's worse if he tries to act wounded when I call him out on it.
