Strzok was reassigned when the texts surfaced to Mueller, which was in August 2017. The texts didn't become public knowledge until December 2017. Sure appearances do matter, but so do facts. I do find it comical that after years of republican-led investigations into Hillary suddenly republicans feel they can only be investigated by someone who is "impartial" (which seems to be a constantly moving target itself). I'd love to read Gowdy's texts over the last few years to verify his "impartiality" against republican standards. These people are professional career lawmen with extensive experience in law enforcement, and not some part-time hack with a vendetta. It's their entire job to put aside their opinions and facilitate justice. Also I know the talking point of the investigation having no limits and no end is enticing, but in reality Rosenstein has oversight of Mueller, and has to approve lines of investigation to ensure they aren't just running down rabbit holes and it's all related to the core issue of Russian interference.

How about retirement years? Is that waiverable? I’d rather just retire now.

It’s called the military “justice” system led by the retards known as OSI and dipshit Commanders who have the investigative skills of Barney Fife. Appearances do matter. You have a Republican (Comey) who was allegedly fired by a Republican (Trump) for not backing off investigating a Republican (Flynn) via the Russian investigation. Then, a Republican (Rosenstein) appointed a Republican (Mueller) to form a special counsel to investigate the firing and Russian involvement with the 2016 Presidential election. And since he’s charged Republican’s (Flynn, Manafort, and Gates) with crimes. Dont really know where ideologies are bent? As stated above Rosenstein has full authority and oversight over Mueller. I guess we’ll see if Trump gets annoyed enough to have Sessions (who’s recused, right?) either fire Mueller himself, which will surely bring an obstruction charge directly to Trump, or force Sessions to force Rosenstein to fire Mueller.

You probably have a couple months. The June increment only goes to 1716 w/ 380 remaining after that. The quota each month has been 190.

I had a cop no-show for a speeding ticket. He was fired for falsifying speeding tickets. But I had no coke in the car.

Obstruction of justice is a felony. It’s a big deal. Obstruction and lying was what was going to get Nixon impeached before he resigned weeks before the hearing. And trust me, when you’re the subject of the investigation, no one gives two shits “what you can stand.” The Feds will go after you with everything they have, and their resources are almost limitless. Manafort and Flynn are already whining about running out of money due to legal costs. And if you don’t think Mueller won’t find anything, please. This is the guy who put John Gotti away as an assistant AG, investigated and prosecuted Enron executives, was the Director if the FBI, and a Marine Grunt with a Ranger tab in Vietnam. He knows what he’s doing and he recruited some of the best talent in the legal world. Trump can’t even hire competent counsel, and when he does, they quit.

Are you really trying to convince him to trade Moody for Cannon?

Not a lawyer either, but what you're getting at are the limits of exemptions to the exclusionary rule. Probably depends on whether or not the cop was acting in good faith. Ref: US vs. Leon (1984) Yes. Ref: common sense. You lied to the cops, which is against the law. Special Counsel investigations take time. This one has been going on for less than a year. For comparison's sake, here's a chart from a December 2017 538 article: Where is this presumption of guilt coming from, in your eyes? Also, I don't see how anyone can realistically argue there's a lack of probable cause at this point. There may not be fire , but damn if there isn't a hell of a lot of smoke.
