Apparently there was some sort of issue over fees owed when Mueller quit as a member of Trump National a few years ago (as suggested by WH). Mueller denies this obv.

No. He came from the RNC. Anything he did for Trump was learned behavior IMO.

When news first broke of the president’s intention on Thursday night, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus originally tried to scuttle the appointment of Scaramucci due to a reported long-running feud with him. Steve Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, now the White House chief strategist, also objected to the Scaramucci appointment. Bannon and Priebus have an alliance inside the White House where they are frequently at loggerheads with the “West Wing Democrats” like National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, National Economic Council director Gary Cohn, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and others.

I don't get into this Team of Rivals fiction since I assume a lot of it is pageantry, but Spicey quitting gives this one some juice.

Think he's one of many Republican establishment types to tag along, and one of the first to actually regret it or do something about that regret publicly.

His connection was to Preibus and the RNC, not Trump.

What did he do that showed regret?

I know he was RNC but his behaviour over the past six months were pure trumpkin.

This was significant because it's literally the first time Mueller broke character to (have his spox) push back against a claim.

Well he DID resign (giving him benefit of the doubt here that he wasn't forced out), so maybe "remorse" is a better word, or maybe "any action that isn't stupefyingly inexplicable and against all norms of decency."
