To the editor:
The president has it wrong: Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's investigation is not a witch hunt. It's a "what" hunt. ("Mueller's investigation isn't going to 'wrap up' soon—and Trump is still in peril," Opinion, May 16)
What happened to our intelligence services during the run-up to the 2016 election? What happened when James B. Comey, the then director of the FBI, made a questionable call in announcing the status of the non-case of Hillary Clinton's emails?
And what misalignment of Russian craft and an egomaniac's ambition for power has almost destroyed the very paradigm of democracy and freedom?
