Law & Disorder: Time for Mueller to Call It Quits

The successful formula for TV’s long-running series Law & Order consisted of the show’s first half focused on the police investigation of a crime; the second half followed the prosecution of the crime in court. For the police, at least there was a body for a murder, something stolen in a robbery, or a break-in for a burglary. Assistant District Attorney Jack McCoy and his lawyers didn’t get involved until there was a suspect and some compelling reason to prosecute a case.
For Robert Mueller – let’s call this real-life sequel Law & Disorder – the special counsel’s investigation has gone on for 20 months and expended public funds north of $25 million looking for a crime. Nevertheless, Mr. Mueller has failed to achieve the stated objective of his Department of Justice (DOJ)-directed charter: “to investigate any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump.”
Can you imagine Fred Thompson’s and Steven Hill’s seasoned and politically savvy district attorney characters giving Jack a carte blanche budget and an open-ended fiat to make a case? Or would Jack show a conspicuous lack of prosecutorial curiosity, or ignore the possibility that the “other guys” were actual criminals, even when hard evidence of chicanery and mischief by rogue government and political apparatchiks tells us otherwise?
Mr. Mueller has so far brought charges, and even obtained convictions, against a relative handful of Trump associates, but of those charges, none involves playing a role in a scheme of coordination, conspiracy, or “collusion” with Russians (which alone speaks to the credibility of “collusion” allegations). Meanwhile, Mr. Mueller conveys no interest in interviewing, subpoenaing, or deposing any figures associated with “the dossier,” Christopher Steele, the Democrats’ campaign, the DOJ, the FBI, or Fusion GPS.
Perceptive political commentator Victor Davis Hanson recently laid out the array of domestic dark forces of American politics that acted against candidate Trump that then led to the creation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. His piece on the American Greatness site explains how the special counsel came to be some seven months after the “ensuing hysteria” of November 9, 2016, when the “impossible” had indeed occurred, and it became necessary to, in his words, “ruin the culprit [President Trump] for her [Hillary Clinton’s] defeat and overturn the verdict of the election.”
