Much has been written about Robert Mueller and his escalating witch hunt, his apparent intention to find some crime with which he can charge Donald Trump or one or more of those close to him.  Lavrentiy Beria is often quoted: "Show me the man and I'll find you the crime."  That is what Patrick Fitzgerald did to Scooter Libby, even though he knew full well that Libby was not guilty of revealing the name of Valerie Plame, who was not even a covert officer.  It was all a set-up, an effort to bring down Bush by any means necessary.  It was an egregious violation of the law as meant to be adjudicated.

Mueller never should have been appointed as special counsel by Rod Rosenstein, the deputy A.G., to investigate any Trump campaign "collusion" with Russia.  Rosenstein knew very well that Mueller was close to James Comey and put virtually no restrictions on the scope of the investigation, despite what he said on Fox News Sunday.  This fact alone should make Rosenstein's judgment questionable.  Mueller, long-time best pal of Comey, should never have accepted the job as Special Counsel in this case.  He and Comey have a long history of working in concert for their own ends.  But Mueller did accept the job.  This fact alone tells us he is not an honest broker.
