The Mueller report concludes it was not needed

How would you like to spend two years and $30 million assembling a report that concludes you were not needed in the first place? Voilà: the Mueller report.

Well, what about all the Russians who were indicted by Mueller's team for trying to interfere with the election? Those were chip-shot FBI counterintelligence investigations that were well in flow when the special counsel took them over.

So let's be clear: Any intersection by a Russian with either presidential campaign was part of Russian intelligence objectives.

Anyone who continues to attempt to exploit empty allegations, including obstruction, in light of the Mueller report findings is purposefully cooperating with and continuing a Russian active measures campaign that has roiled this country for nearly three years.

Perhaps the greatest tragedy, confirmed by implication in the Mueller report, is that a great institution, the FBI - indeed, a cornerstone agency in the continual struggle to ensure the integrity of our democratic republic - was hijacked by an irresponsible director and deputy director who insulated themselves from the rest of that seasoned, sober organization and embarked on a foolish misadventure fueled by either their stupidity or political bias.

Former FBI Director and Deputy Director and the team they assembled on the seventh floor of FBI headquarters started an investigation based on insufficient cause and the obvious Russian active-measures operation.

Kevin R. Brock, former assistant director of intelligence for the FBI, was an FBI special agent for 24 years and principal deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
