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
