Will Trump Apologize?


Shortly after William Mueller was appointed Special Counsel, President Trump castigated him for heading up a “witch hunt” with a staff of lawyers composed mostly of Democrats, some of whom had contributed to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
So what does the President say now?

The lawyers, Trump must agree, did right by him.  Maybe integrity is not dead.  Of course, we all have biases and perhaps the Mueller attorneys - as a liberal group – hoped that they’d find “the goods” on Donald Trump.

But lawyers having a responsibility  to their profession – and themselves -  to do their best to suppress prejudice when performing their duty.  Apparently Mueller’s attorneys acted according to their duties and not their biases.  TSC is proud of them.
The irony is that the Mueller report’s concluding “no collusion” has more credibility because the Special Council’s team was tilted toward  Democrats.  Would Mueller’s conclusions have been so well accepted by the broad public (partisan Democrats excluded) if the staff had been stacked in favor of Republicans?

In other words, Mueller, by his staff selections, did the President a great favor, intentionally or otherwise.
