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.
