The Eptein files go beyond left and right- it's clearly part of the Deep State. As to Mueller, there's a good article that I believe touches on his role in Russiagate, which can be seen here:
Mueller is mentioned 19 times in the article. I quote the first 9 times below:

Introduction
The events commonly described as Russiagate invite invocation of the concept of the “Big Lie,” a lie so staggering in its magnitude and in its consequences that it is less unsettling to believe that it is true than that it is false. In this chapter, I explore the events commonly described as Russiagate to examine some principal features of big lie construction (BLC). The claims that a US presidential candidate, Donald Trump, was in some form or another a dupe of Russia, serving Russian interests, and that his election victory in 2016 was the result of Russian meddling in the US election process, were of staggering, preposterous dimensions. Yet they gathered considerable traction across mainstream media and publics globally. The reports of several reputable investigative journalists, academic studies, judicial inquiries, and the statements of many who were directly involved in the events of Russiagate, have provided strong evidence that the foundational claims were false. In this article I examine some of the processes that help explain why this ‘Big Lie” worked for as long as it did.[snip]
BLC in the case of Russiagate involved sensational claims about a major political figure and celebrity, and the performance on the part of many journalists working for many different media, national and international, talking to a wide range of sources, to ensure that these sensational claims nonetheless possessed prima facie credibility (that they did not, in fact, deserve). The performance was aided and abetted by a sequence of theatrical, diverse, high-level inquiries involving the FBI, House and Senate Intelligence committees, and special counsel Robert Mueller. The fundamental, enabling fraud of BLC (exploiting a two centuries’ old western culture of Russophobia) was the creation of an appearance of diversity, volume, and quantity, that disguised a reality in which a relatively small number of actors across a few prestigious institutions collaborated and, most likely, colluded, in partnership with a small coterie of persistent journalists, to perpetuate a fiction that the President of the USA had colluded with Russia to achieve power. These actors shared a goal, initially, of making Trump unelectable and, when that failed, to make it difficult for him to govern as he might otherwise have done, and to win a second term.

The Steele dossier was significantly discredited in April 2019, when it became clear that Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller and his team of prosecutors and FBI agents were unable to find evidence in support of any of its more sensational claims.

The cross-contamination of intelligence-related key sources in 2016 embraced both the supposedly independent former FBI Director (Robert Mueller) - principal investigator of potential wrong-doing, appointed on May 16, 2017; James Comey, Director of the FBI, and a friend of Mueller who had immediately preceded him as Director; the Director of the CIA, John Brennon, head of the nation’s foremost icon of intelligence and national security; and the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper. Although the office of the attorney general and the FBI are accountable to the Department of Justice, a supposedly impartial and independent investigator (Mueller) was appointed who had very close relations at numerous levels with the FBI, itself a major contributor to Russiagate claims. The most notable voice in the US intelligence community that might have taken a contrary position, Director of the National Security Agency, Mike Rogers, was missing at these early stages. It is notable that Mueller had been officially appointed by deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein. Rosenstein had been appointed to office only one month prior, in April 2017, and had recommended to his boss, attorney general Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, that Comey be fired because the “FBI's reputation and credibility” had “suffered substantial damage.”

FBI, CrowdStrike and the emails of the DNC and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC)
Successful propaganda typically makes a great play at being truthful, which enhances its credibility, while at the same time obfuscating or marginalizing certain information that, were it to be foregrounded, would likely change the public’s evaluation of the propagandist’s principal concerns. The first part of the Mueller report was devoted mainly to allegations of Russian hacking of DNC and DCCC emails. Alternative sources of evidence - largely ignored by Mueller - suggested that the emails may have either been leaked by an insider rather than hacked or, that they were both leaked and hacked, though not necessarily by Russians (McGovern, 2019). Mueller declined to interview major sources who would have provided evidence against the DNC, FBI, and others’ presumptions as to Russian involvement in the alleged hacking of the DNC. These included William Binney, a former high-ranking official of the National Security Agency; Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst working for its Russia division and, with Binney, a founder member of Veterans of Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS); Craig Murray, a former British diplomat who claimed knowledge of at least one party involved in a leak; and Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, who denied that Russian agencies had been his source, and whose statements indicated he knew who might have been. Hacking allegations invited scepticism in the light of NSA-whistle-blower Edward Snowden’s 2013 revelations of the leaking of the CIA’s “Vault Seven” toolbox, including “Marble Framework”, that enabled the agency to camouflage hacking by false attribution and masking of the real source.**
