In unison, the talking heads at Fox News and Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee assaulted both current FBI Director Christopher Wray and former Director Robert Mueller. Mueller also happens to be Special Counsel investigating foreign election intervention by Russia. Their complaint was that the F.B.I. is politicized and out to get Donald Trump. In the minds of those on the right, the same is true of Special Counsel Mueller.
\n<\/iframe><\/p>\nFox anchor and commentator Gregg Jarrett said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\u201cI think that we now know that the Mueller Investigation is illegitimate and corrupt. And Mueller has been using the F.B.I. as a political weapon, and the F.B.I. has become America\u2019s secret police, secret surveillance, wire-tapping, intimidation, harassment and threats. It\u2019s like the old KGB that comes for you in the dark of the night, banging through your door. The F.B.I. is a shadow government now; it has become highly politicized.\u201d<\/p>\nPeter Strzok is the perfect example of it. He led both the Hillary Clinton investigation and, until recently, the Mueller investigation. This is a guy who has corrupt political motives. We now know it. Congress has the emails. But he’s the tip of the iceberg.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nRarely has a public figure received as much universal praise as Robert Mueller, at least up until a few weeks ago. But as his investigation has evolved to the point where we now have perp walks, the heat is getting to be too much for many on the right. In their minds, Mueller and those working for him no longer have objectivity; their clear and present motive is to get Donald Trump and those close to him.<\/p>\nIf you believe that we are now living in two un-parallel universes, the right is right. Mueller is out to get Trump and those close to him. At least this is how most people in Trump\u2019s 34% universe of the American electorate see it.<\/p>\nHere\u2019s the problem that the right has. Mueller is coming from a perspective founded in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Age_of_Enlightenment\">Age of Reason<\/a>. He is employing logic and deductive reasoning. He is hiring people who come from the same school. When the Trump-o-philes complain that Mueller has hired lawyers who have represented Democrats or contributed to the campaign of Democrats, they are right. What do they expect, lawyers from Breitbart? Mueller is hiring lawyers who can follow both the facts and the law.<\/p>\n<div class=\"perfect-pullquote vcard pullquote-align-right pullquote-border-placement-left\"><blockquote>Mueller is an evidence-based person. This comes with the territory when you are a post-J-Edgar director of the F.B.I. <\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\nMueller is an evidence-based person. This comes with the territory when you are a post-J-Edgar director of the F.B.I. Or as Sergeant Joe Friday of Dragnet fame said, \u201cJust the facts, ma\u2019am.\u201d He is following what is empirical, and often times this means following the money. For Trump, this means getting into his \u201cprivates.\u201d His allies think that\u2019s off-limits, but in reality, his finances should be in the public domain.<\/p>\nThese two universes go beyond disagreeing on policies or even on proper legal procedure. They reflect a huge cultural divide in our country. It has gotten so wide that each side goes beyond calling the other side \u201cbad\u201d or misguided; now each side challenges the mental health of those on the other side.<\/p>\nConventional analysis would indicate that Trump or Roy Moore are people whose mental stability should be questioned, but to those on the right it is the likes of Mueller or Barack Obama who are unstable.<\/p>\nThere is a connection between rational thinking and those who are politically more to the left. Mueller\u2019s investigation is reflective of that; the best investigators tend to be closer to non-conspiratorial journalists and others looking to document occurrences. This has to be frightening to Trump, Fox News and others of similar mind-sets. From where they sit, it is indeed true that Mueller is stacking the deck against Trump. It will be that way so long as two plus two equals four.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In unison, the talking heads at Fox News and Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee assaulted both current FBI Director Christopher Wray and former<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38205,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[162,1683,3153,2347,3091,1929,1555,2826],"tags":[2459,1455,3162],"yoast_head":"\n<title>The right is right: Mueller is stacking deck against Trump -
