There’s a neat article up on Washingtonian.com, The Ultimate G-Man: Robert Mueller Remakes the FBI, talking about Mueller, the director of the FBI. The article’s author, Garrett Graff, commented on writing the article, “I was really surprised at how little institutional attention had been paid to the Bureau by the media.” And it’s so true: even Mueller’s Wikipedia page is practically barren, yet he’s the head a gigantic government organization talked about in newspapers every day.

It’s not just a biography of the man sworn in on September 4, 2001 (note the date), but also gives some fascinating insight into the FBI, its changing mission, Washington politics, and even tells the incredible story of Alberto Gonzales’ rush to try to “convince” John Ashcroft, barely conscious in the hospital, to certify the legality of the White House’s wiretapping program.

It’s definitely an interesting read.
