I’ve read the Wikipedia articles on Mueller and Rosenstein.

They seem to be dogged professionals and not leftist extremists.

The problem is with excessive laws, not the prosecutors.

What about the Hatfill investigation. Mueller prosecuted the wrong guy to the point where Hatfill eventually committed suicide. Mueller is a vindictive incompetent moron.

"The problem is with excessive laws, not the prosecutors."

It's both. We should not allow special prosecutors to go on fishing expeditions in the absence of any evidence of a crime. The special prosecutor law should be abolished or radically amended and limited.

On the personal side, once someone is named a special prosecutor, he is under enormous pressure to produce indictments, or he will be seen as a failure. It goes to his head, to his ego, he wants to be a big shot, to go down in history, so the investigation keeps getting broader as he desperately looks for a crime.

Then, if no crime is found, he goes back over all the evidence and testimony to find a "process" crime, i.e., some sort of inconsistency in testimony, where he can get someone for perjury, and this will be seen by many as proof that some underlying crime did occur, but that it was successfully covered up.

I take solace in the fact that a great author has already depicted Mueller in a novel. The name Victor Hugo gave the character was Inspector Javert. Javert is one of the most hated characters in all of literature because his dogged persuit of justice was both unjust and immoral. Perhaps Mueller will one day realize that his life has been a lie and, like Javert, end it the only way it can be ended.
