OPINION:
Oh, my. A paladin of probity has been laid low by his own weak effort (“Mueller befuddled by own report, not ’sharp’ as he faces Congress,” Web, July 24). Emulating Democratic presidential pretender Joe Biden, who failed bigly at the first debate, Robert Mueller, another gray-haired Beltway biggie who headed the investigation of Russian influence in the last presidential election, failed to deliver what flailing Democrats desperately wanted — namely, an orange scalp nailed to the Oval Office door.
I tolerated all that I could before shielding my ears from Mr. Mueller’s stumbling, bumbling effort and finally, embarrassed by his obvious failure to clearly and decisively report the facts, yielded to the chirping birds outside my window, a sound far more attractive and, yes, informative than the cacophony of voices in the committee room. We are all diminished by a performance such as this.
