It's astonishing to me to see how the Republican establishment has been stripped of spine and principle over the past thirty or forty years. All that seems left is the naked pursuit of power at all costs. But as Truman said, "We'll give 'em the truth and it will feel like Hell." We seem now to be reliant on Bob Mueller, one lone man, to counterbalance systemic corruption and fraud at the top. What a sad day. But I think his method, and his driving force, is strict adherence to impartial justice.
Can the end justify the means? As a scholar of the French Revolution, I am reluctant to say yes. Lots of good people have. I am I guess a little Kantian in his debate with Constant about lying to a murderer.
Cheers,
John
