The left has news for the president: The indictment of 13 Russians shouldn’t make you comfortable
Robert Mueller’s indictments of more than a dozen Russians are a good thing, but it’s just a start. A roundup of editorials Monday takes a look at the issue.
1. As Robert Mueller Fights Russian Meddling, Trump Is MIA
From USA Today: What's missing in the news of indictments of Russians for meddling in U.S. elections is some leadership from the White House.
“The grand jury’s indictment shows how far Russia is willing to go to manipulate and discredit our democracy... Given the baffling and inexcusable absence of presidential leadership, Congress must step up to defend the nation.” https://t.co/1hmI3HJsla

2. Mueller Indictments Only Scratch Surface of Conspiracy
From The Washington Post: Do the indictments end the investigation into Trump's campaign? No way.
Russian trolling seems to have been done with a lack of discipline and secrecy. But that does not mean the operation lacked high-level support. https://t.co/28VvSCc6iX

3. America Is Under Attack and the President Doesn't Care
From The Atlantic: Did Trump's campaign collude with the Russians? We don't know yet and if the president has his way, we may never know.
The right wants to know where the left was on gun control when they had the White House.
