OPINION:
Special counsel Robert Mueller cast many lines into deep and murky Beltway waters and, after almost two years of fishing for the big one, caught only minnows (“The impeachment pipe dream,” Web, May 29). His many casts for a conspiracy to collude between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Russian government in order to deep-six the Clinton campaign were all dry, as empty as the deflated Democrats.
But political alchemy being what it is in our “gotcha” culture, the false narrative of collusion changed instantly into bait for impeachment. Disappointed Democrats continue to fish, with Mr. Mueller’s sly innuendoes chumming the water. Apparently the party of blue believes that grievance absent evidence of a crime is a proper lure when fishing for votes next time around.
