A statement provided to The New York Times about Robert Mueller’s declining health is now in question after attorneys and people with insider knowledge refute the claims.
As TGP reported earlier this month, Robert Mueller, former FBI Director who was tapped as special counsel to investigate President Trump’s 2016 ‘collusion’ with Russia is reportedly in a memory-care facility.
Earlier this month RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry revealed Robert Mueller, 80, has been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years.
“House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Robert Mueller to appear for a Sept. 2 deposition to provide details from an FBI investigation of Jeffrey Epstein from decades ago — even though sources tell me Mueller has been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years,” Paul Sperry said.

Mueller will not be able to testify to Congress this week.
On Sunday evening The New York Times reported that Mueller got diagnosed with Parkinson’s four years ago and has had difficulty speaking in the last few months.
The Mueller family statement also claimed that Robert Mueller taught at his law school during fall of 2021 and 2022.
“Bob was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the summer of 2021. He retired from the practice of law at the end of that year. He taught at his law school alma mater during the fall of both 2021 and 2022, and he retired at the end of 2022,” Mueller’s family said in a statement to The New York Times.
However, lawyers and insiders have refuted the Mueller family’s claims. Mueller allegedly did not teach at his law school in 2021 and 2022 because he was too mentally incapacitated to teach.
Mueller was reportedly in such bad shape that his star prosecutor from the Russia witch hunt had to step in and teach the classes.
Per Paul Sperry: Lawyers tell me Robert Mueller didn’t actually teach 2021 college course “The Mueller Report and the Role of the Special Counsel” at University of Virginia Law School because of mental decline, and deputy prosecutor Aaron Zebley had to step in with others to teach classes

Sources actually told Paul Sperry that Mueller never actually taught a class at University of Virginia.
NEW: In the statement the Mueller family fed to Russiagate hoaxer Michael Schmidt of the New York Times, they claimed, “He taught at his law school alma mater during the fall of both 2021 and 2022.” But sources tell me Mueller never actually taught class at University of Virginia

Lawyers who worked with the Special Counsel’s office in 2017-2019 told Paul Sperry that people claiming Mueller was sharp and fully in command of his team and made all the major investigative decisions is just not true.
NEW: Now that it’s come out Mueller’s been incapacitated for several years, NY Times is running interference, claiming “he was sharp and fully in command of his team and made all of its major investigative decisions.” But lawyers who worked w/ SCO 2017-19 told me neither is true.

Of course, we saw evidence of this during Mueller’s 2019 hearing before Congress.
Robert Mueller looked like a confused, stuttering, agreeable, lost and nervous doddering old man during his testimony to Congress in 2019. He frequently paged through his notes because he was lost.
There is no way Mueller ran the Russia collusion witch hunt.
