Both WERE dirty.  You don't get to leadership positions in the District of Corruption without being ON the Deep State's Team! All I know is that the DS was pretty happy to see Mueller appointed as special counsel. If he was totally clean, they would have attacked him and Rod R right off the bat. This was all part of the deception.  Everyone KNEW they WERE Deep State Team Players, so Rod passed the RINO Senate with flying colors!.....little did they know what they were just approving.  Rod hired Mueller, also known to be a Deep State Team Player.  If both of these guys were not DS Team Players, the whole planned deception would not have worked. You have to remember that there are no pure White Hats in the District of Corruption.  You can't spend more than 5 minutes there without getting at least your shoes dirty.  So everyone is dirty.  If you spent most of your career there, that used to be proof positive you were up to your eye balls in dirt.    BUT most complied with the deep state unwillingly, had to be black mailed into doing the DS's bidding.  Many went to D.C. as patriots, and bided their time, and hatched this whole PLAN to take down the DS in its entirety.  Who better to do it, than those who have had to wade through the sewers of the DC for years.  We needed these long time DS players, to design the plan, because they were the only ones who knew exactly how it all worked.....the pedo sex trafficking, the drug trafficking, the blackmailing, the Saudi Money, etc, etc.  It wouldn't have been enough to just take down Hildabeast alone, because the DS would just go on pumping away, with new political puppets.  No, THIS PLAN was designed over many years to take down the whole infrastructure, and kill the beast!  No dark corners left uncleaned. Unfortunately this extremely complicated plan takes time to take down, without injuring too many innocent people.....because these people are very sick (ex: the bus load of 51 kids in Italy a DS mkultra puppet tried to burn alive in a bus, this week).  These people are sick and will stop at nothing.  So the deconstruction needs to be done carefully and well planned, full of lots of deceptions. So bottomline we NEED these FORMER DS people. We would not have a successful PLAN if we didn't have DS people who were dying to flip themselves, just waiting for the right Pres candidate they could trust.....enter Donald Trump.
