A statement provided to The New York Times concerning the declining health of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been cast into serious doubt. This development comes after numerous attorneys and individuals with insider knowledge have stepped forward to directly refute the claims made by the Mueller family. The entire narrative, as presented by the liberal media outlet, now appears to be a carefully constructed facade designed to protect a crumbling legacy.
Earlier this month, RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry first revealed that the 80-year-old Mueller has, in fact, “been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years.” This revelation was made in the context of the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena for Mueller to provide a deposition on the FBI’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, a testimony he will now not be able to provide. The initial report stands in stark contrast to the official story.
In a desperate attempt to control the narrative, the Mueller family issued a statement claiming Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the summer of 2021 and yet still “taught at his law school alma mater during the fall of both 2021 and 2022.” This claim, dutifully published by The New York Times, has been completely dismantled by those with actual knowledge of the situation. It is a testament to the media’s willingness to parrot any statement that aligns with their political objectives, without a shred of investigative diligence.
NEW: House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Robert Mueller to appear for a Sept. 2 deposition to provide details from an FBI investigation of Jeffrey Epstein from decades ago — even though sources tell me Mueller has been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years

According to further reporting by Paul Sperry, lawyers have come forward to state that “Robert Mueller didn’t actually teach [the] 2021 college course… because of mental decline, and deputy prosecutor Aaron Zebley had to step in with others to teach classes.” Sources confirmed that Mueller never actually taught a class at the University of Virginia, directly contradicting the family’s account and exposing the statement as a deliberate misrepresentation of the truth.

This deception extends far beyond a single class. Insiders from the Special Counsel’s office itself have reportedly told Sperry that the popular notion that “Mueller was sharp and fully in command of his team and made all the major investigative decisions is just not true.” This confirms what many Americans witnessed with their own eyes during Mueller’s disastrous 2019 testimony before Congress, where he appeared utterly lost and confused.
NEW: In the statement the Mueller family fed to Russiagate hoaxer Michael Schmidt of the New York Times, they claimed, "He taught at his law school alma mater during the fall of both 2021 and 2022." But sources tell me Mueller never actually taught class at University of Virginia

NEW: Now that it's come out Mueller's been incapacitated for several years, NY Times is running interference, claiming "he was sharp and fully in command of his team and made all of its major investigative decisions." But lawyers who worked w/ SCO 2017-19 told me neither is true.

The spectacle of the 2019 hearing was undeniable for any objective observer. Robert Mueller looked like a “confused, stuttering, agreeable, lost and nervous doddering old man during his testimony to Congress.” He frequently had to page through his notes because he was disoriented and unable to recall basic facts about his own report. This was not a man in command; this was a man being used as a figurehead.
There is simply no way a man in such a visible state of decline years earlier was the mastermind behind the multi-year Russia collusion witch hunt. This entire operation was a fraudulent endeavor from its inception, a deep state coup attempt orchestrated to sabotage the presidency of Donald J. Trump. The media’s continued protection of this narrative, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, is a gross betrayal of the public’s trust.
The attempt to whitewash Mueller’s significant health issues and his clear incapacity is a final, pathetic effort to legitimize the greatest political hoax in American history. It was President Trump who was right all along, calling the investigation a witch hunt while his opponents and the press relentlessly propagated a lie that has now fully unraveled.
