Moo but it’s inappropriate that djt refers to the death of someone as ‘good’. Regardless of whatever “history” is between them.
Whether djt likes it or not, there’s such a thing as accountability and evidently there were concerns and evidence for Mueller to be appointed as special counsel and to carry out the investigation he was asked to do.
Mueller deserves acknowledgment for the work he did as the second longest serving FBI director.

The BBC has put up a decent article honoring Robert Mueller.
Mueller is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann Cabell Standish, their two daughters, and three grandchildren.
In a statement, a spokesman for his former law firm, WilmerHale, called Mueller an "extraordinary leader and public servant and a person of the greatest integrity".
"A great American died today, one I was lucky enough to learn from and stand beside," wrote former FBI director James Comey, who succeeded Mueller at the agency and whose abrupt firing by Trump led to the Mueller investigation.
In February 2021, Mueller sat for a rare interview with MSNBC to recount key moments in his decades-long career.
Asked why he agreed to oversee something as politically daunting as his Russia investigation, he said: "I found that I've gotten tremendous enjoyment out of public service. And I find it hard to turn down a challenging assignment."

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

This is how a real President addresses the death of a longtime civil servant and war veteran.
IMO.
