Yes but Comey's interpretation of Flynn's involvment was much more favorable to Trump's side than how Mueller interpreted it. This means that the entire investigation could've spiralled into a completely different direction had Trump not fired Comey.
Plus, Mueller is like the Lord Sith to Comey's Vader... or something. Basically, it brought the master into play and with none of all the other distractions that an FBI director has day-to-day.
