1. He communicates with the people he works with.

I'm sure he communicates with his family and friends, but probably not about his work. He's a serious sort of person who takes what he does seriously.

He's not a blabbermouth or a gossip-monger. He has a job and he's doing it. The people with whom he works follow his lead and keep their work quiet until it's done. That's how it's supposed to be.

Why would he talk about his work to anyone who wasn't involved with it? Why would we expect him to?

i wonder sometimes if he ever worries of someone (from tRumps group,Russian ass.) getting to him or his family? I gotta give the man credit, He's got a HEAVY load on his shoulders, and Lot's of people would like his mouth closed for good? Wow is all i can say to that!

8. I doubt that he worries about that sort of thing.

He's a long-time, experienced government guy. He knows how everything works, and likes his job. He's at retirement age, and probably has a good retired future ahead of him. I really don't think he is worried about his or his family's safety.

He seems like a process-oriented person to me. He focuses on the job at hand and gets people to do what they need to do to make that process move forward as smoothly as possible. That's what he does. And he's very good at it, too, no doubt.

In the end, a report will be issued, and he'll probably retire. Don't look for him to appear on TV news talk shows, either. He'll get the job done, as impartially as possible, and then will speak through the final report process. That's who he is and how he does things, as far as I can tell. I imagine that working for him on this project would be very interesting and very, very busy.

He and his group of investigators are possibly the ONLY chance we have to stay a free country!!!

7. A friend of mine worked for a company where Mueller was employed.

My friend, who is a good judge of character, had only great things to say about Mueller and how he treated people.

9. His dedication to the task at hand is all consuming.

Mueller has few confidants and no hobbies, save Parcheesi, which he plays once a week with his manservant, Nigel.

15. born into the end WWII age, went in Marines, law enforcement--old school dedicated honorable man

He reminds me so much of my Father and Uncle's generation and "code" by which they lived, though a younger man.

Uncomplicated and honest to a fault. He is the kind of Republican I grew up with many decades ago.

The comparison to today's version is astounding.

My guess is he talks a lot with those few he fully trusts and with whom he works and with his wife. No need to gossip with anyone or to entertain any kind of press attention. The consummate professional.
