re: I suspect Mueller's aim is getting himself fired leaving the door open for obstruction

I know you are an LSU fan which puts forth an automatic defense of dumassery but what about s-u-s-p-e-c-t does a swamp creature not understand. I may be right, I may be wrong. But there is little wiggle room as to ignorance in your case. BTW, government work might be a huge step up for a stock clerk or meter reader so go for it if that is your dream however I must respectfully decline any interest.
