Did your dog eat the DOJ letter, and that's why you can't post it?Fortunately you keep your therapy dog nearby for such days.

No. Completely wrong.
The President of the United States is being investigated for obstruction of justice resulting from the firing of an FBI director. In addition to the allegations against the President, there are counter-charges of misconduct, and politically motivated behavior, and general corruption within the FBI. To bring in a former FBI Director whose entire career and identity and allegiance is to the FBI is absolutely the wrong thing to do.
Further, the primary witness or accuser in the obstruction of justice case is James Comey, a former director of the FBI. Bothe Mueller and Comey have publicly acknowledged- and it is well known- that they had a mentor-mentee relationship. Comey was unceremoniously fired, and has fallen from grace and desperately wants to even the score in the form of having a special counselor appointed. He has even admitted to leaking documents and information for the purpose of getting a special counselor appointed. To have his mentor appointed as the special investigator is a bias beyond comprehension.
In addition, the special counsel act or the justice department rules for appointing a special counsel specifically state that the special counsel shall not have an established relationship with any of the key witnesses- e.g. comey as the key witness in the obstruction of justice charge.
Your comment that "the fact of the matter is that you will not find a better prosecutor to head the investigation than Mueller" is out of order. It would absolutely be very easy to find a better special counsel. He is not only not fully qualified, he is absolutely disqualified.
Oh, I have the letter. Let me know when you want to make a high stakes bet right here on the forum to try to call my bluff. It will be fun to watch you walk sideways like a crab to slither away from it. Otherwise. We will leave it there. But if you want to go down that road. Let me know.
Ok, who would be better qualified according to you?
Oh, I dunno but I would just follow a normal process that would generate a number of names and then see who looks good. Retired judges who have been prosecutors and the like are always good to look at and able to hit the ground running. There is a whole world out there that is comprised of people who are not former fbi directors or james comey;s mentor so there are plenty of people to look at.

I don’t know if “I don’t know” works. Mueller was brought on because he is a twice confirmed by the Senate, has handled the highest level investigations and ran the fbi with distinction for 12 years. It is a tall order to find a better person than that for this job.
I don’t acknowledge your point about Mueller having been a mentor to Comey being particularly important considering it’s a small world at the level these guys operate at.
...and they (fbi and doj) have good reason to investigate collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign because they have some unverified documents provided to them by the Clinton campaign claiming that Russia tampered and that Trump colluded. Yeah. Ok.
