The weapons you create for your side today will be used by the other side against you tomorrow. Do we really want the special-counsel investigation to become a staple of presidential life? It’s a creation with few boundaries on scope and a setup that encourages the selection of a suspect followed by a search for the crime, rather than the other way around. This caused calamities in the era of Bill Clinton, and it doesn’t get any better just because the partisan dynamics are reversed.
Let's see, the Mueller team has:
1. Bullied people into saying what the Mueller team wanted to hear.
2. Put a witness in solitary confinement (the punishment used for the most violent criminals and considered the worse punishment available to US criminal justice system) for months to "break" him and get him to tell them what they want him to say.
3. Bullied journalist with punishment for not testifying to whatever they wanted and infringing on his 1st amendment rights.
4. Ruined a young man's life for having the audacity to work for Trump when he did absolutely nothing wrong. Carter Page will never be able to work for anyone ever again and he was a high ranking graduate of a military academy and a patriot.
5. Relies extensively on a someone of dubious credibility that has proven he will do or say anything the Mueller team wants.
6. The Mueller team consist primarily of people of the "opposition" party.
The Mueller team's "investigation" reeks of a Middle Eastern government sham "trial".
Look at the precedent the Democrats are setting. Just like the "nuclear option", they are setting themselves up for the same treatment when their guy is in office. These special counsels will likely render the presidency impotent.
The Republicans got hammered in the polls after the Starr debacle. Is that the reason the "blue wave" was so underwhelming? What about the next election cycle?
Careful Dems, one reaps what one sows.
