Wow- I am really surprised.

From what I remember about Mueller this seems like a good choice.

Everyone who was actually in the room says WaPo story about Trump revealing classified info to Russians is false

"They ran with a story using nothing but anonymous sources who were not present in the meeting. That left every single White House official who was present to come forward independently to correct the Post's reporting. There were three of them - Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster and Deputy National Security Advisor Dina Powell. All three say the Post's story is false."

And his post FBI career is spot on applicable:

Post-FBI Career
After leaving the FBI in 2013, Mueller became a visiting professor at Stanford University where his focus is on issues related to cyber-security.[12

What does the word "special" actually mean in this context?

Well we certainly can believe those Russians.....

What does the word "special" actually mean in this context?

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller to serve as special prosecutor overseeing the investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election.


In a statement, Rosenstein stressed that his decision “is not a finding that crimes have been committed or that any prosecution is warranted.” But he said he’d determined “based upon the unique circumstances, the public interest requires me to place this investigation under the authority of a person who exercises a degree of independence from the normal chain of command.”


Seems like a very good choice for the position- don't you think?

Outside of and independent of the establishment.

He has full authority to both investigate as well as bring charges if they're warranted.

 

[Syriusly]

Excellent choice- since the FBI he has been working in the area of cyber security at Stanford- which is spot on for the Russia investigation.
