Special counsel Robert Mueller should put up or call it quits

Ten months later, Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein passed the counter­intelligence baton to special counsel Robert Mueller to continue the inquiry.

Thus, the question of whether there was "Any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump" has dragged on for 22 months.

Thirteen Russian nationals and three Russian companies were charged with conspiracy and identity theft involving a Russian propaganda campaign.

Not one document implicates a single person from the Trump campaign linked with the Russian government to effect the 2016 election.

Two Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel opinions hold that a sitting president is constitutionally immune from indictment.

The House can impeach the president for refusing to testify, but Mueller violates separation of powers if he uses the weaponry of a grand jury subpoena to gather evidence for another government branch.

If Mueller does not have evidence of collusion after 22 months, he should not be fired.
