To the editor:
In October, Trump sent out a tweet demanding that Republicans “do something” regarding the Mueller investigation. Sure enough, Trump’s “hoax” narrative (with the help of Fox News) has picked up steam among Republicans in efforts to discredit Mueller, his team and the FBI. Do not be surprised if any or all of the following happens soon:
Trump fires Mueller; Republicans call for an end to ongoing House and Senate investigations, parroting Trump’s denigration of the special counsel and the FBI; or members of Congress shrug at any “biased” conclusion by Mueller and the FBI of wrongdoing and do nothing.
A few questions: Since when does a key figure connected to the investigation get to set the scope of what the investigators can look at? Can only Republicans investigate Republicans, and wouldn’t that be “biased” (both Mueller and Comey are—or at least were—Republicans)? How many “hoaxes” are there that result in the indictments of four people connected to a presidential campaign?
