The right is still waiting for any sign that Mueller has the goods on Trump

In an Aug. 21, 2013 file photo, outgoing FBI director Robert Mueller speaks during an interview at FBI headquarters, in Washington. Muller, the special counsel investigating possible ties between President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia's government has taken over a separate criminal probe involving former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and may expand his inquiry to investigate the roles of the attorney general and deputy attorney general in the firing of FBI Director James Comey, The Associated Press has learned.

Robert Mueller investigation has yet to point to Russian collusion during the campaign. Is this all there is or is the other shoe about to drop? A roundup of editorials Tuesday takes a look at what we expect to hear from Mueller and what we will believe.

Opinions from the right:

1. Mueller investigation to test our values

From The Wichita Eagle: Will either side believe the outcome of Mueller’s investigation?

2. It is now an obstruction investigation

From The National Review: Mueller’s investigation has become null and void. It would be up to the Congress to take Trump to task if there was any misconduct.

3. Is Flynn's Defection a Death Blow?

From Pat Buchanan: Want to destroy Trump? You better be ready for what comes next.
