• Special counsel Robert Mueller was spotted at
  Washington DC Apple store. 
• He appears to be getting help with a MacBook in a
  photograph posted to Instagram. 
• Mueller is famously publicity-shy and he doesn’t talk
  to the press.
• But he’ll talk to an Apple Genius. 

Eventually, everyone needs tech support — even Robert Mueller,
the special counsel who is investigating Russian interference in
the 2016 US Presidential election.

His project is the talk of Washington DC, partly because of its
importance, but also partly because of how mysterious it remains.
There are few leaks from his team, and he doesn’t talk to the
press.

But he’ll talk to a Genius at an Apple store, it seems.

Meghan Pianta, a communications professional in Washington DC,
posted a picture of Mueller at the Georgetown Apple store on
Wednesday afternoon on her Instagram Story. 

“Give this man ALL the Genius Bar support he needs, pls,” she
captioned the shot. 

We first saw the picture via journalist Kelly Cohen.

President Donald Trump’s lawyers would probably love to know
what’s on that laptop. However, it’s worth noting that it’s
extremely unlikely that this is a work machine: Most government
agencies don’t issue Apple MacBooks to their employees, and
besides, Mueller would know better than to show anything
confidential to a civilian.
