Latest wingnut attack on Mueller-- he screwed up the anthax letters investigation...

[TreasonousBastard]

Remember the anthrax letters? After 9-11, a few news offices and Congressmen got letters with militarized anthrax virus in them. Some died.

It was a very big deal.

Long article at:

<...>
The 2001 anthrax attacks, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred within the United States over the course of several weeks beginning on September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two Democratic U.S. Senators (Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy), killing 5 people and infecting 17 others. According to the FBI, the ensuing investigation became "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement."

So now, rightwing media is claiming that with up to 10,000 people, including the military, and the top universities and virology labs, it was all Mueller's fault that the inconclusive results of that investigation because he was running the FBI which was leading the investigation.

They did try and pin it on a guy who fought back so then they pinned it on another guy with "issues"... he killed himself I believe.
