Robert Mueller: 'Incorruptible' G-man stalking Trump presidency
21 December 2017 - BBC
But who is the veteran G-man?
Robert Mueller, described as 'no-nonsense' and 'strait-laced', ran the FBI for 12 years
When Mr Mueller was picked to lead the inquiry into alleged Russian interference in last year's presidential election, the appointment seemed to cross the partisan divide.
Robert Mueller III - to use the full name that has earned him the moniker "Bobby Three Sticks" - was named FBI director by President George W Bush.
He is known as "very straight and narrow"
He earned a reputation as a no-nonsense investigator who pursued wrong-doers with Javert-like doggedness.
"He cannot be intimidated. At this stage in his career, he has nothing to prove, no reputation to burnish, no axe to grind. He is ramrod straight in his integrity," he wrote on the Brookings Institute's Lawfare blog.
When President Barack Obama entered office in 2009, he kept Mr Mueller on for another two years.
He became the longest-serving chief of America's famed law enforcement bureau since J Edgar Hoover, who was director from 1935-72.
"One thing seems certain: if past is precedent, Mr Mueller will leave no stone unturned."
