Why you should remember Mueller’s job description
https://www.economist.com/leaders/2017/11/04/...escription
He’s not there to pursue Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, but to safeguard elections. Surely Americans can unite around that?
To think clearly about what Mr Mueller is up to, it helps to recall the terms of his appointment. The special counsel has been told by the Justice Department to investigate links or co-ordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with Mr Trump’s presidential campaign, and any other matters that arise directly from that endeavour.
Get it? He has a very specific endeavor which does NOT preclude him from following evidence WHEREVER it may lead. That you describe some people as 'deep state' clearly has no legal meaning to Mueller. He's an FBI guy, evidence is everything and 'deep state conspiracy theories' are nowhere on his radar, for very good reasons.
Unlike the three separate congressional inquiries into Russian government meddling in last year’s election, Mr Mueller is authorised to prosecute anyone who committed a federal crime (see article).
The purpose of Mr Mueller’s investigation is not to take down Mr Trump. It is to make it harder for foreign governments to interfere in future elections.
That is an aim all Americans should be able to unite behind. Instead, Mr Mueller’s probe has become the latest territory for an uncomprehending shouting match between partisans.
The keyboard warriors at the Internet Research Agency in St Petersburg, Russia’s best-known troll farm, might like to imagine that this is all their doing.
In reality, though, the Russian meddling in America which, in the judgment of the intelligence services, took place last year is now being followed by open season for Americans to turn on each other.
