Democrats are ramping up pressure for special counsel Robert Mueller to testify after Attorney General William Barr’s responses at this week’s Senate hearing and no-show at a House hearing yesterday.
All his life, the Vietnam War Marine veteran has lived out a code of discreet personal values -- elevating government service, the rule of law and respect for the chain of command.But now, the uproar triggered in the wake of Mueller's Russia investigation raises the question of whether his time-honored methods have left him vulnerable to exploitation in a new political era of hyper-partisanship and self-aggrandizing.
There was, however, the cautionary spectacle of Comey's news conference after he decided to make no indictments in the Clinton email probe, which drew the bureau into a damaging political imbroglio it has yet to escape.In some ways, Mueller couldn't win. But politics abhors a vacuum.
