Was the Special Council brought on to cover for spying on a presidential campaign?

The Dossier along with an article based on a leak from the FBI was used to obtain the FISA warrant.
Was the Mueller investigation just a distraction or was it an attempted cover for illegal spying on the Trump campaign?

I’m sure many thought there was legit reason for it, but those people were ignorant.

Not only was the investigation unable to uncover illegal activity, it was predicated on bullshite. It was a huge waste of time when we could have been investigating FISA abuse and corruption.

It was a huge delaying tactic, that's for sure.

I think the Mueller investigation was more of a way to shield Obama and Hillary from investigation.

At minimum, it was set up to delay and to try and find ANYTHING that could be used to delegitimize Trump. Anything to delay and deny, and hopefully indict was their plan.

They were brought on to cover, till a change in Congress, it worked. Now the House can delay, cover-up, sew dissent on the whole thing, like trying to take out Barr and obstruct, legally.....

Unquestionably. Whether or not you question Mueller's motives, the investigation itself was to provide top cover and give breathing space to the cabal to cover their tracks as much as possible and attempt avoid there being sufficient evidence developed to put any of them in jail.
Unfortunately, it was probably successful in that endeavor. They figured it was a low risk/high reward type deal.

The entire charade was a cover up of spying on a political opponent and an attempted coup of a sitting President. It is passed time for the DOJ to name names and prosecute the guilty.They never believed that Hillary would lose and all of this would be never see the light of day after her glorious victory. It was her turn!

I think it was a last ditch effort in hoping Trump would fire Muller. They knew there was no collusion, so they thought if they could piss him off enough to fire Muller then obstruction was their only path.
They really thought she was going to win. They took a big gamble after that. Most men would have caved under the pressure Trump has endured. Looking back it’s really incredible he survived this. Just think about everything their doing and have done to destroy this man. It takes a rare kind of fortitude to overcome what Trump has survived. We’ve never seen anything like this in are lives.

I think it was a huge delay/ confusion tactic. I also think they assumed such an investigation would turn up something, anything, that could muddy the waters enough for them to survive.
Mueller may have been a pawn or a player, I don't know.
In the end, even if they knew it was a desperate half court shot, it was their best play. Which is why I'm certain there is a HUGE pile of shite about to be uncovered. You can't get so many power players involved in such a nasty conspiracy unless there is something major to protect.

Both?? Distraction for the spying.
Floods letter to Barr is a nice way to set the foundation for sure.
