The Mueller investigation turns up nothing but the fact that Trump hired damaged and corrupt officials, writes Steve Goldstein.
That President Donald Trump’s favorite description for a 22-month probe was incorrect is evidence of the higher standards he demands for his opponents in government and the media than he applies for himself and his allies.
Is this the behavior of an innocent person? Perhaps, yes, it is. Trump has a reflexive and compulsive reaction to any criticism, be it that he’s a Russian stooge or that he mistakenly called an executive “Tim Apple.” Wrong or right, big or slight, Trump responds equally with fire and outrage. It doesn’t particularly speak highly of the president. But then he’s finding it doesn’t really need to — his enemies so far continually have been worse. The array of investigations in the House will be diminished by the fact Trump is innocent on the biggest of charges.
