Opinion: Robert Mueller's Investigation and the Trump Legacy
In this opinion piece, Holman W. Jenkins Jr. argues that President Trump faced unfair criticism following the death of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The author contends that Mueller withheld critical intelligence for two years which indicated no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016. Instead, the investigation revealed fabrication by political opponents. Jenkins suggests that while the press focused on the president's reaction to Mueller's passing, they ignored the fact that the intelligence community already knew the truth before the probe began. He asserts that the 74 million voters who supported Trump in 2020 and the 77 million in 2024 were not misled by these prior assumptions, unlike some media outlets. The article serves as a critique of how the investigation was handled and its long-term impact on public perception.
