Here’s why the right should embrace Robert Mueller’s investigation

By Debbie Lord for The Atlanta Journal Constitution
Dec 11, 2017

As Mueller’s investigation heats up, the right would do well to support the special counsel’s work. A roundup of editorials Monday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the right:

1. Can a President Obstruct Justice?

From The Wall Street Journal: A president can obstruct justice, but this one hasn’t as far was what we’ve seen.

2. Did the DOJ Misuse the Steele Dossier — to Spy on the Trump Campaign?

From the National Review: Why doesn’t Trump just order the Justice Department to reveal how the dossier was handled and what the FISA Court was told.

3.  Why Conservatives Should Embrace Bob Mueller

From Just Security: The right should be cheering for Mueller to finish his investigation. If Trump fires him, it will backfire on the White House.
