The Mueller Muddle

Blogging at Power Line, Paul Mirengoff shares information that makes a telling point about the troubles besetting the Mueller special prosecutorial operation.
A recent Harvard poll found that 54 percent of voters believe that “as the former head of the FBI and a friend of James Comey,” Mueller has a conflict of interest in the proceedings. Meanwhile, only 35 percent believe that evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia has been found.
More than a little evidence has surfaced that the Comey FBI, or some key elements thereof, strongly preferred Clinton to Trump. Do we suppose Mueller is willing to step up and accuse his good friend James Comey of wrongdoing?

Will Mueller recognize evidence as it surfaces? Is it an avenue of investigation he is likely to pursue? Isn't this asking too much of an otherwise decent man, which Mueller is claimed to be?
