Mueller didn't fail. The country did.
Being thousands of miles away from home, in a country that 45 years ago was in the grasp of a brutal dictatorship, gives me an interesting perspective on former special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs Wednesday testimony and on the now nearly forgotten was it only a week ago? racist call for four nonwhite congresswomen to go back to where they came from.
I worry that we the media, voters, Congress are dangerously unserious when it comes to preservation of our democracy. To spend hours of airtime and write hundreds of print and online reports pontificating about the optics of Muellers performance when he confirmed that President Trump accepted help from a hostile foreign power and lied about it, that he lied when he claimed exoneration, that he was not completely truthful in written answers, that he could be prosecuted after leaving office and that he misled Americans by calling the investigation a hoax tells me that we have become untrustworthy guardians of democracy.
The failure is not of a prosecutor who found the facts but might be ill equipped to make the political case, but instead, of a country that wont read his report and a media obsessed with scoring contests rather than focusing on the damning facts at issue.
Many well-meaning figures continue to beat the drums of impeachment rather than demand that Trump be voted out of office for betraying his country and lying to voters to conceal his crews unpatriotic sellout to Russian actors....
