During the final portion of his satirical segment "New Rules," Real Time host Bill Maher tore into Special Counsel Robert Mueller for not recommending an indictment against President Trump. Maher took issue with Mueller's "by the book" approach, arguing that "sometimes greatness means not doing everything by the book." Maher said that "all he had to do is what people in the justice system do every day: use the law to come to justice, not be so restricted by technicalities that the bad guys win." After complaining about the "corrupt" Attorney General and a "tribal, party-before-country Republican Senate," Maher directed a message at Mueller: "Bob, your trail of breadcrumbs isn't good enough. We're not that smart anymore. America is an aging shortstop. You have to hit it right at us."
