How Robert Mueller Tried To Entrap Me

Civil liberties attorney Harvey Silverglate writes that Robert Mueller, as a federal prosecutor in Boston, sent a man wearing a wire to entrap Silverglate into suborning perjury on behalf of a client he was defending. Silverglate didn't fall for the ruse, which evidently arose from a malicious tip given to Mueller, who now heads the Trump-Russia investigation. "This experience made me realize that Mueller was capable of believing, at least preliminarily, any tale of criminal wrongdoing and acting upon it," Silverglate writes, "despite the palpable bad character and obviously questionable motivations of his informants and witnesses."
