Opinion: Trump should let Mueller testify
Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. By Ed Rogers Ed Rogers Opinion writer focusing on politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 8 at 3:54 PM Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has always been a professional who approaches his work with rigorous gravity. The fact that he has all but kept his mouth shut throughout his two-year investigation into allegations of President Trump colluding with the Russians is proof of this.
For all the breathless furor from the talking heads who hyped the investigation for ratings, the special counsel ultimately concluded that there was no conspiracy. As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said this week,"case closed." Of course, the Democrats don’t want to see it that way. Not so fast, they say. What about obstruction? What about attempted obstruction? Please, they embarrass themselves. Their desperation is showing.
While dutifully silent until now, Mueller has occasionally shown his displeasure at those who have tried to speak for him. He tossed FBI agent Peter Strzok from his team after his revelatory texts with colleague and paramour Lisa Page caused no small amount of embarrassment. His first and only formal rebuke of a news story came this year when he unequivocally rebutted an account by BuzzFeed that, according to sources on Mueller’s team, Trump had instructed Michael Cohen to lie.
