Mueller's abuses on view for the world to see

Congress would be calling for more supervision and restraints on the power of Mueller and his office.

I am disappointed that more Democrats in Congress - who would obviously agree that the manner of the arrest and such arbitrary gag orders violate their basic beliefs - don't join Republicans in questioning these actions for fear that anything that undermines Mueller in turn helps.

The benefits of the $30 million Mueller investigation are sparse to date.

The most destructive force here appears to be the Mueller investigation itself because not only did it commit a string of constitutionally questionable actions, it also it drove a stake into the foreign policy objective of having a better relationship with Russia so as to peel them off of alliances with China, Syria and Iran.

Russia needs us a lot more than we need it, and yet the real damage of the Mueller investigation is that it made détente with Russia impossible.

China, for the first time facing pressure from the United States for its unfair trade actions, is now moving into the vacuum Mueller created and strengthening its alliance with Russia.

Hopefully, the Mueller investigation will now wrap up after two full years.
