Smearing Mueller shows the depths of Republican fear | Editorial

The campaign to discredit Special Counsel Robert Mueller has reached a shrill and desperate phase, as some believe it is more important to protect Donald Trump's interests than to establish how and why an adversarial government influenced a presidential election.

The goal is to dismiss any findings damaging to the president as political bias; to invent corruption in the highest echelons of law enforcement, notably in the FBI; and to preempt any discovery of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia with distractions.

Much of it is a whingeing chorus of victimhood, slithering from a Twitter account, which invariably overlooks pertinent facts.

So as 2018 begins and the second year of Mueller's investigation unfolds, we need to acknowledge a baseline of immutable truths, and review what we have learned from the man Republicans recently considered the most scrupulous public servant in government.

6. It's time to get to the bottom of it.

Republicans need to stop whining and lying and let the man do his job.

2. The GOP house of cards

is collapsing. And they are willing to destroy democracy to hide their treasonous doings.

3. I've heard a few newscasters say "compare Mueller to the moron"

they didn't really say moron, but you know what they were thinking

Mueller is the man that the moron is not in EVERY way. Integrity, honesty, hero (oh, poor donnie had bone spurs), incorruptible.

Now for the moron, thief, con man, lier, shyster, pussy grabber,
This list could go on & on., you get the idea

I love it when they TRY to smear a person & there is no way they can do it & you know they are trying.

4. GOPers rather bring down the country and her people

before acknowledging anything. Actually, they rather take the USA into a dictatorship inorder to keep power and make tons of money. GOPers are the party of greed, and they don't care.

5. At least he wasn't fired over the Holiday Recess as many feared and prepared for.

I am saving my rally signs just in case. You never know what the fucking moron will do, and this includes the fucking moron himself. CRAZY!
